how is there this much crime in the city
like
i realize it’s the city, but i’ve actually lived in a lower class city area, and we had, like, 90% less ski mask wearing hoodlems
Super villains have a larger criminal income, and that stimulates the criminal economy so there’s more money circulating to invest in ski masks and hoodlums.
Also, they make for a convenient break to keep the hero and readers from being crushed under the weight of their melodrama.
What’s the productivity of the criminal economic sector in this city? It takes three masked hoodlums to hold up a pair of retirees? The villains of this city clearly need to look into hiring efficiency consultants. In fact, that sounds almost like a theme…
The Taylorist! He brings economies of scale to crime!
LOL. But Miss Melee’s reappearance was going to effect productivity no matter what. Those extra two thugs are actually recent transfers to Lookouts… they’re still learning the job.
Its probably a 1200CC monster bike. Most sport bikes you see around are 600CC or so, but bikes can be much bigger in engine size, usually with a bigger frame to match.
I’m predicting the introduction of a new hero.
That final panel would make a good wallpaper…
[SUBTLE NUDGING INTENSIFIES]
We like that panel a lot too! In fact, we liked it so much we cropped it in full resolution and uploaded it to our Patreon!
Echoing what others said–she looks *so* awesome in that last panel!
Uh, not to be picky… but shouldn’t that be Ms. Melee? 😀

Awesome as that last panel may be, either she’s incredibly tiny, or that motorcycle is HUMONGOUS.
I can’t be the only one to notice!

I am getting vibes or maybe its just me going through caffeine withdrawal.

And 3…2….1…
Have to admit, you’re very good at impressive entrance scenes. Melee looks dangerous as hell there.
