Villains at the Superhero Store?
Posted on November 07, 2009
It's a rare occasion that the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. closes down on a Sunday morning. But last week, staff made way for a rare visit from Brooklyn's most evil villains - Humungasaur, The Transporter, The Airborne Trooper, Jessica, Spinner, Ghostly, Freak Show, Sucker Wolf, Lord Darkness, Lightning Storm, Slimy Legs, and Royal Darkness.
Sucker Wolf, whose favorite crime is sucking blood and eating meat, is pictured here, preparing for her big-screen debut.
And what were these villains doing in a superhero store? Filming their feature for a special edition of Villainy Fair. While we normally would not stop superhero sales for villain fanfare, we just couldn't turn away a group of villains interested in writing, of all things!
Special thanks to volunteers Elaine Palucki, Ballard Boyd, and Joe Miles, who went out on a limb and gave these villains a chance.
Thank You Wild Things!!!
