Ever wonder where Calendar Man, The Calculator, Captain Morgan Fear, and Prince Ra-Man would find the female member of their super-villain team “The Household Items Gang”? Well wonder no more, as you behold the terror of office secretaries everywhere, Whiteout!

I bet Office Depot just found their first corporate-sponsored super character. Take that, Stark Industries! Of course they’ll have to change her slogan — “Oops” just isn’t going to cut it — but otherwise I think she’s a natural. Just look at how they even got the little curlicue on top, just like happens with a real dollop of whiteout! Clearly, someone lavished a lot of time on this character. I mean, after the initial tequila-fueled panic attack five minutes before deadline when they hit upon the idea after digging wildly around in their desk for inspiration, that is.

Random Panel: That's not exactly a holy expression …

Monday Mashup 15: Our boychick's not human

Each week I boldly delve into a bag of ten random comic books, choosing one (and only one) panel from each to get the raw materials for crafting a comics story requiring no illustration ability whatsoever on my part. Just the power to make bad puns.

For our new adventure, we explore a side of comics you rarely see — what happens in the aftermath of one of these big giant super-hero fights? Our story begins in the present:
