Astounding Villain House

Shannon Wheeler’s Astounding Villain House, a single-issue comic from Dark Horse in 2013, presents a wry, satirical look at the world of supervillainy through a single, self-contained story. Wheeler both writes and illustrates the book, bringing his signature cartooning style to a premise that skewers comic-book tropes with a deadpan, observational humor. It’s a sharp, brief detour into the mundane absurdities of being bad, offering a quick, clever punch for readers who appreciate a knowing wink at the genre.
