#monster society of evil

May 1945. In the 25th and final installment of the "Monster Society of Evil" saga, Mr. Mind was arrested and tried for his many, many crimes. Despite his protestations of innocence — "I'm just a poor little helpless worm! Sniff!" — the "evil worm mastermind" was convicted of murdering 186,744 people in cold blood. After his execution, Mr. Mind's body was stuffed and put on display in a museum.

Some Captain Marvel reads / Shazam (The FIRST real Captain Marvel est. 1939) | Recommended comics

Shazam: Power of Hope (Captures the spirit of Shazam/Captain Marvel perfectly)

*was not a fan of that N52 shit, I'll give it another shot another day, but THIS is the true energy of Captain Marvel.

Shazam: Monster Society of Evil, a very fun, very well paced modern retelling

And It's verrry underrated sequel series (Billy Batson and The Power of Shazam), significantly younger Billy & my fav iteration of Mary.

Superman/Shazam: First Thunder 1-4 (I won't say much for this one, it gets dark, for a Captain Marvel book, but it hits home. I'll leave it at that.)

Inspired by David Jamison’s character designs for a Wonder Woman cartoon, I decided to make designs for my own Shazam cartoon. The first ones I’ve been doing is redesigning the Malicious Mr. Mind, and I’m not entirely sure if I keep him like his classic look or try to make him look like something that crawled out of an HP Lovecraft novel. Check out David Jamison’s work here, you won’t be dissappointed!; https://linktr.ee/DavidJamison22

I love Billy being the shortest lil guy to ever Guy™️ and Captain Marvel to just be a solid unit

Like look at this sort of stuff???

Bigger than Batman AND Superman?!? My kinda stuff man

Captain Marvel is not Billy Batson, in fact he's a completely different entity

Made by the council from a lightining given to them by Zeus

He's been imprisoned in the RoE for the crimes of Black Adam, for over thousand years

And now that he's finally out, finally free

He needs a host

His physical body Has been destroyed after all

Um if you write Jason having to get drugs for Catherine I want you dead btw. Not only does it tell me you assume the average drug dealer would give the hard shit to a very small child and then not supervise them at all (classist stereotype that all drug dealers are inherently evil + lazy writing with no grasp on reality) and you genuinely think that Catherine was CONSTANTLY high, as if that's even possible without overdosing far sooner than she did. That's without even getting into the bad mom Catherine propaganda.

Part of why I hate this fandom's take on Autobots vs Decepticons is ppl (mainly 'con fans honestly) who can't have any nuance of the situation whatsoever and love to write plots like "oh the humans are racist and abusive towards Cybertronians so this is how Megatron is right" no actually I don't think colonialism/imperialism and racism are justified so long as you can point the finger and say "they were the aggressors first" or "their hands are no cleaner than ours bc their society sucks too" sorry. Please come up with better sociopolitical narratives in your war story.

Star vs the Forces of Evil could have been so much more interesting, were it not the way it was, but was a different way instead.

October 1944. A landmark of Golden Age comics was the 25-part "Monster Society of Evil" saga, which ran in Fawcett's CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES from 1943 to 1945. The leader of the Monster Society of Evil was a mysterious character called Mr. Mind … who was eventually revealed to be just a little worm! But not just any worm: To quote the recap at the beginning of this installment (Chapter 19), he was "An intelligent worm with the greatest genius for evil ever known!" Although the serial ended with Mr. Mind being captured by Captain Marvel and paying the ultimate price for his reign of terror (no, really), DC has revived the character several times in more recent years. Unfortunately, because DC has never really had much editorial capacity for whimsy, they can seldom resist trying to rationalize him in some absurd way (e.g., by making him a Venusian brain-parasite whose true form is a terrifying giant monster). This is wrong. Mr. Mind is a CUTE LITTLE WORM WHO KILLS PEOPLE. As seen above, he gets sad when his fiendish plots and horrible death rays don't work. That is basically it, and he's really not a character who needs any embellishment. I mean, look at him!

I just did a “roast my Instagram” game (with my two public side instagrams) that’s run by AI scanning your public posts and generating “roasts” and “honest opinions” ————and it has filled me with raw and vibrating rage. I am about to ASCEND I am so angry.

Idk if @lavena had these in their copy but my fav doodles from the extras of Shazam and the monster society of evil

Billy with the most faces ever

Was not prepared for a Cap taller than Bats and Supes but honestly here for it

More Billy doodles with Mary (who is actually significantly younger in this interpretation!)

The C.C. dot eye supremacy agenda

DUDLEY?!

i think an argument can be made for how the monstrous in supernatural happen to line up neatly with antisemitic rhetoric but that'd blow the lid off the world's largest can of worms. so.
