Meet Extortius, a wannabe supervillain with a skull mask, a black-and-purple hoodie, and dreams of world domination! Unfortunately, his ambitions are considerably bigger than his current circumstances.
Living in Villaindale with his eccentric family, Extortius spends his free time making videos about his villainous aspirations. But when it comes to holding down a job, his reputation for laziness, incompetence, and questionable behavior makes him anything but employee of the month, let alone a great villain.
After rushing to work, Extortius finds himself back at Humphrey’s Hamburgers, where he hopes to prove that he’s capable of something more than flipping burgers. Unfortunately, working alongside an irritable burger mascot, demanding customers, and a cast of colorful coworkers proves to be its own special kind of torture.
As Extortius struggles through the daily indignities of fast-food employment, his imagination takes over. Beneath the uniform and beneath the mask lies a man convinced that he was destined for something far greater than minimum wage.
But can a self-proclaimed master of evil survive the mundane horrors of the working world? Or will his grandiose dreams of conquest finally get the better of him?
Extortius #1 is a darkly comedic introduction to the misadventures of a delusional supervillain, blending outrageous humor, everyday absurdity, and cartoonish chaos into a story about ambition, frustration, and the ridiculousness of ordinary life.
