Digitally Speaking...47 "Evil Inc."

via comiXology
Evil Inc. Monthly #7 (Greystone Inn)
From 2012.

This seems to be a tepid genre satire, in this issue featuring superheroes and movie monsters, taking the form of a web comic and subsequently collected in comic book format.

Except the jokes pull all their punches, and there are odd streaks of sentimentality, such as the opening arc featuring a superhero family with a father and son who can't say they love each other.

I guess the best you could say about Evil Inc. is that it would be ideal reading for a young audience which happens to already know the tropes.  I don't see it appealing to more mature readers except maybe that young audience's parents.  It's like that family movie that probably won't be very popular but still found wide release anyway.
