Evil Inc.

I have to admit I rather enjoyed the last couple of updates of Brad J. Guigar’s superhero parody comic Evil Inc., though I have to admit to finding the general premise for the storyline (with Lightning Lass being impersonated by an angry hero who is going around committing good deeds in her name to clean up her reputation) to be perhaps a bit over the top. Of course, when you get down to it, the villains in Evil Inc. aren’t especially evil in the grand scheme of things. Undoubtedly this is what makes Lightning Lass’s encounter with a young girl who wants to be Lightning Girl 2.0 (complete with her own castle) so adorable. And I suppose when you get down to it, the girl’s opinion of Lightning Lass is spot on: she’s a woman who doesn’t let people tell her she can’t do stuff. To me, that’s a message more women should try to live up to.
