“Bad For Business” p25-26
Well, I warned you all this would be a big one. These epilogues don’t mess around! Let’s queue up the drama button everyone!
So everyone assumed Parker was spying for her mom, when really Simon was in her back pocket all along! Morgan suspected something was up. Heck, even the Human Resources Department thought something was amiss.
Demonatrix mentioned her “ace in the hole” after Malefactor refused her offer (yep, that was Simon, not Parker!). And when Primstone told her the Superpals proposal arrived, Demonatrix even said “that’s my good little spy.” It was right there!
Simon alluded to his “devious deals” in the same storyline. And when Demonatrix announced her takeover bid, notice how Simon’s reaction differs from the rest of the staff. And make note of Demonatrix’s reply!
So, this sort of explains Simon’s offer to help Parker. Maybe not as altruistic as he seems?
And yeah, he finally got his hands on that spell book. But given the trouble it’s caused in the past… you have to wonder what will happen when he uses it next.
All setting the stage for Season Two and beyond, my Heroites! And we still have one epilogue to go!
Speaking of which, be sure to check out the Hero Business: Season One on Kickstarter! We still have about two weeks to go, and I’ll be adding FREE stretch goal reward extras to pledgers if we hit our numbers! Let’s make this thing happen, office drones!
And be sure to let me know what you thought of this week’s reveal; Sound off below!
……….Devilishly clever, Simon, DEVILISHLY clever. Almost as clever as another Simon–Simon Templar.
There’s a twist I never saw coming!
Those are the BEST KIND! 😀
While I didn’t see it coming in the comics leading up, when I saw the reveal I thought, “Well OF COURSE it was Simon.” Great twist, sir.
Hey, is the Kickstarter still open? What level do we donate at to be on the board?
YEP, the Kickstarter runs until June 10th, so grab a spot! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/billwalko/the-hero-business-season-one-graphic-novel
I got that there still was a real spy. But until the last moment I wasn’t sure who it was. Simon was an obvious candidate, but I actually thought he might be a red herring. Also, there are still at least two major unresolved questions, so he might have been a part of that… We’ll see if the last epilogue will answer any questions related to that… I have a feeling it will not. Which is good, because we can’t go into the next season without any mystery, can we? 😉 Not that there aren’t any other seeds for other great stories, casually planted off-hand…
Well done, great work!
Well done, sir. I didn’t see that coming but it all makes sense in retrospect. I simply thought it was Simon simply being Simon. Now I know better and will be keeping an eye out.
Wait- does this mean that panel on page 15 of “Cry, Malefactor” with Simon and Malefactor doing “super-villain team-ups” was more than just a joke about Simon’s personality?!?!
