Here's your early access to the full-page version of next week's Evil Inc comics.

NOTES: In the panel-by-panel scroll, Catnip is purposefully omitted since she is a bystander and not part of the direct storytelling. Also, I'm experimenting with including a transcript on the full-page posts to help make the archive more searchable.

Transcript

Panel 1

Iron Dragon: I’d better go get Desi!

Tempest: She’s ok... The effects of my powers wear off pretty quickly.

Panel 2

Tempest: Besides... I don’t see a wedding ring.

Panel 3

Iron Dragon: It’s... complicated.

Tempest: I’m not. When I see what I want, I reach for it.

Panel 4

Tempest: ...But since we’re in public, I’ll reach a couple of feet higher.

Panel 5

Iron Dragon: I don’t think I should—he— OOOOP!

Iron Dragon trips backward over a chair, knocking the Randomizer off a nearby desk. The Randomizer is a gun that can transport its target to a parallel universe — completely at random — resulting in that person or object being lost forever.

Panel 6

Iron Dragon topples over and the Randomizer hits the ground, firing as a result of the impact.

Panel 7

Iron Dragon, looking in the direction of the laser blast: Ohhhhhhhhh, shit.

Panel 8

The employees of the Fairmount branch of Evil Inc gather around a smoldering mark on the carpet that looks strangely like the silhouette of outstretched tentacles.

Count Spurlock: Wha—WHAT HAPPENED?!

Dr. Whoosh, dazed: We were just finishing signing the papers... We were gonna take the office out to lunch.

Miss Match: But where’s Krakenos?!

Iron Dragon: He’s been RANDOMIZED.

Panel 9

Dr. Whoosh: OK, everyone, don’t panic. The company has a contingency plan for situations like this.

Panel 10

Dr. Whoosh: YOU’RE ALL FIRED.

Whoops! Whoopsie! Maybe Tempest can get ID his job back with a refreshing breath or something.

Michael Obert

I'll keep it a secret 😆. I bet Krakenos is regretting having cancelled all that medical leave now.

Great Scott

Well, that was short-lived. On the other hand, drawing all of those tentacles would probably take a long time to do, so you've saved that now...

Caleb Davis

So we have a tentacle creature in another dimension now. Krakenos is totally going to start a Cthulhu cult.

Stephen Burke

I'm sure Giant Tess is heartbroken. Where is she anyway?

Michael

I forget. What exactly does the Randomizer do?

Michael

Right? Tess has always been one of my favorites.

Senor Nobody

This concludes Evil Inc. Please join us next week for Brad's new series: "Krakenos, Dimension Jumper."

Some Ed

Yeah, he was an exciting looking addition to the cast, but just looking at him I wondered how many more times we were going to see him in his full glory before something like this happened. I didn't call my bet, but I'm pretty sure somebody else probably called a lower number than I did...

Robert

He'll be in Scott Bakula's body now. It'll be the continuing story of "Quantum Leap".

Brad Guigar

It safely transports the target to a parallel universe — completely at random. Because it's untraceable, the person is lost forever. But since it's non-lethal, the user can't be charged with a capital offense. They're not dead. They're just terminally misplaced. :D https://www.patreon.com/posts/evil-inc-week-of-107471836

I spitballed the idea of writing the story of where Krakenos landed and hiring another artist to draw it — much like Dave Kellett hires people to do "Tales of the Drive" stories. But I'm not sure I'll be able to budget it for 2024. Needless to say, Krakenos is out there... somewhere...

Stephen Burke

I can see it now, krakenos on stage singing the impossible dream

Ben Burch

It occurs to me that psy-chick had motive and opportunity here. She could have made ID back into the chair.

Wil Rodriguez

I think that contingency plan is more based in reality than you intended.

Robert

I've always thought Psy-chick was just a mind controller, but appears that she's telekinetic as well. The Randomizer aim couldn't be that coincidental.

Taylan

Soo what are the odds he is zapped to Thea's dimension?
