    I particularly like the inclusion of Ash.


I have to laugh at my reasoning now... as if that team needed an instigator to rile things up. Honestly, what it needs is to switch out Venkman for someone more like Hatty... a sincere, straight-forward heroic type who isn't a pony.

    I didn't realise you were such a Phil Foglio fan - though I can see now influence on your early artworks. I know him from Phil n Dixie comic from my brother's Roleplaying magazines.


Did you never see this sketch? I guess, considering the inclusion of Cheryl, it's pretty damn old...

    I hadn't heard of Agatha Heterodyne before but I'm glad I now have!


You have days of free reading ahead of you if you're interested. The entire series of Girl Genius is free online, last I saw, and makes up a lot of collected volumes at this point... Over 10? Three new pages a week adds up, and they've been at that comic since the early days of the Parodyverse (back then it was a regularly published comic book before moving online exclusively with printed collected editions.)

    I'm also glad to see the pony pouring itself a drink. On that team - she'd probably need it!


Looking at the group again this morning I realized that every single one of them except Venkman was specifically depicted as going insane at some point.
--Harley spends most of her time in Arkham
--Ash broke into hysterical laughter in Evil Dead 2
--Twilight had a complete mental breakdown when she couldn't complete an assignment.
--Wheatley went power mad when he was plugged into GLaDOS's mainframe.
--Agatha is a literal "Mad Scientist", where the madness grows more pronounced as she's inventing.
--Stitch might not count, but is the monster of a mad scientist himself.

It's a team that will need a lot of medication.
