PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--"

PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" 

PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"

"Ming's Contingency" would be a good NEXT title

I actually considered this! Ultimately I decided to keep him in the regular Power Men uniform because (a) I thought the specialized gear would be distracting for the more casual readers, and (b) putting on the PM uniform better underlined the idea that he's just there to pitch in, not steal the show

In cape comics a mayor is a sort of volunteer king that attends four ribbon-cutting ceremonies a day, is able to facilitate literally any crime, and regularly gets kidnapped no matter HOW many men in black suits he rolls with

Comic books have such a warped idea of what a mayor does. Including the ones I write

A Twitter post reusing a one-panel gag comic I drew a few years ago of Saul Goodman defending Magneto in court. "--And now the state accuses MY CLIENT--a single father of FOUR, your honor, a HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR--"

A Twitter post reusing a one-panel gag comic I drew a few years ago of Saul Goodman defending Magneto in court. "--And now the state accuses MY CLIENT--a single father of FOUR, your honor, a HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR--"

A couple times a year somebody reposts this X-men/Better Call Saul gag I drew and goes lightly viral over it, and you know what, god bless

The delayed endorphin release that kicks in four minutes after you resisted the urge to yell at somebody can be addictive, which in this case is basically fine
