BLACK CAT #8 (Cover art by Pepe Larraz)

Eviler Than Thou

In the villains business, there's only can be one.

Two villains are rivals, each wreaking havoc in their own special way. Each one has the potential to be the one and only Big Bad. The poor heroes are caught in the middle between two completely different threats, and have to be flexible enough to stop both. They may team up against the heroes for a while (each planning to double-cross the other), but usually they go for each other's throats, and the cross-fire threatens to destroy the world.

Whichever villain wins will rub it in with a cackling speech about how the other villain is deficient.

Examples:

Wander Over Yonder: Lord Dominator to Lord Hater and the other villains. When she appears in the season 2 premiere, it really shows that she is worse than Hater. More later, Lord Awesome tries to flirt with her, but she make him clear she is not interested and lock up him in a cell. In the episode "My Fair Hatey", she even sings "I Am The Bad Guy" to Wander and Hater to shows up how truly evil she can be.

Megamind: The titular character who acts more out of showmanship than any real malice, is horrified when he finds out that Titan/Hal turned out to be a villain who enjoys wreaking real havoc out of pure spite.

The Dark Knight Rises: John Daggett hires Bane to help him in his schemes to take control of Wayne Enterprises, and realizes all too late that Bane was the one who was using him all along. Bane is also implied to have actually been too evil and extreme for Ra's al Ghul and the League of Shadows themselves.

Doctor Who: In the episodes "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday", an entire army of Cybermen stomps onto Earth from a parallel universe, seemingly taking control of the planet. Then the Cult of Skaro show up, and make it clear they view the Cybermen as no more than a pest problem.

Where Did Everybody Go?

Title: Where Did Everybody Go? 

Summary: It was like waking up in the Twilight Zone, everything felt off from the moment you woke up. Everyone from your life had disappeared. You had tried contacting everyone but kept getting their voicemails. What was going on? Where did everybody go? 

Warnings: apocalyptic theme; people turning into ash; people disappearing; slight anxiety/angst; one-eyed animals; I apologize if I miss anything, but you are responsible for what you read, I just post here.

Your alarm blared in your ears and you growled at the horrible sound that it was making. You struggle to reach for the damn device, grunting as you do so. There! It was finally quiet in the room and you rolled back over to lay in bed for a few more minutes. You were quite irritable this morning, having woken up at two in the morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. You woke up with a giant pit in your stomach and a feeling you couldn’t quite shake. In fact, it still lingered with you, filling you with anxiety. You did your best to push the feeling away as you pushed the covers off of you and climbed out of bed. 

As you tumbled out of bed, you started your morning routine. Going through the motions like every morning, even with that feeling still gnawing at you. Once your coffee was started, you clicked on the news and made sure to take care of your dog Lucky. Lucky, your one-eyed golden retriever who followed you home from work one day. You gave him some quick pets before continuing getting ready. As you were finishing up in the bathroom, you could hear the anchor people discussing the current events. Then suddenly, a strangled scream fills the apartment, causing you to rush out to the living room to see what’s going on. A gasp escapes your lips and your eyes widen in shock. Surely, your eyes were playing tricks on you. Or maybe some kind of prank the news people were playing was playing on their viewers? All you can do is watch as the newswoman contorts her face in horror as she witnesses her coworker turn into dust. You can feel your own face begin to twist into terror as the camera begins to angle down towards the floor. 

Next thing you know, your feet are carrying you out of your apartment. Lucky perked his head up from where he was laying on his dog bed, your actions piquing his interest. But only for a brief moment before he lays his head back down. You rush through your apartment building, your heart racing as you do. You take note of all of the frantic people coming out of their apartments too. As you get out to the sidewalk, your eyes widen in shock at the scene unfolding before you. It was pure chaos. All around you people were in complete panic mode. Multiple blood-curdling screams pierced the air and your ears. Dust, well you suppose it was more likely ash, filled the air and blew into the wind. It swirled all around, sending a shiver up your spine and your hair rose all over your body. You tried not to think about the fact that the ash floating around you used to be people. A loud crash from in front of you pulled you from your thoughts, causing you to practically jump out of your skin. The driver had suddenly disappeared from their seat and rear ended the car in front of them. What in the world was going on? Is this the damn apocalypse? 

 An alarm went off in your head and the world around you became drowned out as one particular thought consumed you. Your heart began to beat faster and your breathing labored, your own panic setting in. Honestly, it never left. What about your family? What about your friends? Or hell, even coworkers for that matter? Were they witnessing the same thing? You refused to believe that this was all happening inside of your head. No way were you going crazy. At least you didn’t think so? Somebody bumping into you as they ran past brought you back to reality. Without wasting another minute, you race back inside of the apartment building. You tried your best to ignore everyone around you, there was no helping them. Not yet anyway. All of the people crying and screaming, you had to block it out, you were doing everything you could to keep yourself from doing the same thing. You needed to find out what happened to your loved ones before you could even consider helping anyone. Maybe not even then. 

When you finally reached your apartment, you frantically searched for your cell phone. Ah-ha, got it! You fumbled with it as you picked it up, it didn’t help that your hands were shaking uncontrollably. Once you got your phone unlocked, you instantly went into your contacts and began dialing. With each person that didn’t answer, you began to grow faint. You placed your hand over your heart and tried to control your breathing but it was too late. A panic attack was setting in and taking over. Lucky came over to you, ready to help you out of your panic attack. He rested his head on your knees… When did you sit down? You look down at your faithful pooch and you could feel the tears begin to brim at your waterline. You were alone, completely and utterly alone. Lucky lets out a soft whine before letting out a huff of air. You give him a few pets on the top of his head before you completely lose it and break down. 

The next couple of days were a complete blur as you and your neighbors tried to figure out what the hell was going on. You helped where you could within those days. You checked in on your elderly neighbor a few doors down the hall, apparently his wife disappeared. You helped post missing fliers up and around the block. It was necessary to keep your mind busy, it kept you from breaking down all of the time. It wasn’t until the fourth day when a nationwide  broadcast was made and the Avengers made an announcement, Tony Stark did most of the speaking. They called it, the Blip. Half-way through he explanation, you felt yourself zoning out and a bone rattling sob escaped your lips. You gasped for air in between each sob. So it was true, you were completely alone. No one was purposely ignoring your phone calls or just simply choosing not to call you back, they physically couldn’t. You couldn’t believe this was happening right now. How was this the new reality with half of the population gone? Honestly, you wish you had been blipped with everyone else because you didn’t want to do this alone. 

You truly felt abandoned.

In loving memory of the late George Perez, Line it is Drawn artists had to pick a Perez drawn piece and replace the title character with another.

I decided to recreate his Infinity Gauntlet cover and replace Thanos with Darkseid. I also added a hint of Kirby-ness for good measure.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Perez.
