CAPTION: Death be not proud…or forever when you’re a superhero. But it sure sells comics! And here at Last Kiss, we’re anxious to give you readers what you so obviously desire: gratuitous death on an epic scale! Having a limited budget, though, we’ll have to use an old radio show trick and depend on you to supply the multi-million special effects…and most of the all-star, over-paid cast as well! Ready? Here goes!
PANEL #1: Lightning
SOUND: Zap
SOUND: Look out! It’s…
SOUND: Arrrggh!
SOUND: Yikes!
SOUND: Nooooo!
SOUND: Iiieeee!
PANEL 2: In a graveyard, a crying woman is comforted by a man. In the background, two men work with shovels to fill in a grave.
WOMAN: The entire Legion of Superfluous Heroes wiped out…in a bloody, depraved battle! Who’ll protect us from mindless carnage now?
MAN: Not the Comics Code! That’s for sure!!
CAPTION: Next: The Society of Stupid Pet Tricks gets neutered!
