Villain, Interrupted

Details

For the last six months Gina's worked as a therapist in a prison for super-villains, determined to turn every last one of them into a hero. This audacious fusion of comic-book energy, theatricality and shadow puppets is her story. Follow Gina as she plunges into the Powered Offenders Institute, and is forced to question everything she believes in. Her charges include King Cobra; a female drug lord peddling hallucinogens, Lady Injustice; two college kids fused into one body, and Ink Lord; able to bring art to life, and angry enough to burn the world down. From Daddy issues (that therapy staple) to toxic masculinity, queerness, classism, and mental health, Gina grapples with problems she's ill-equipped to face. Will they see the error of their ways? Or is the error Gina's in thinking they're redeemable?
