Evil Inc. is one of my regular webcomics and I've posted from it before. It's rarely ribticklingly funny (though it can be), but has a lot of fun with various heroic/villainous tropes and has some terrfic moments.
As the basis for the whole series is supervillains operating as a corporate entity (Which reminds me I must post the second of my Serpent Society Posts sometime soon), it often reverses the standard clichés to amusing effect. Not all the villains are entirely evil (though they ARE villains, and even the sometimes apparently bumbling CEO Evil Atom has a VERY nasty streak), and more than a few of the heroes aren't exactly lily-white (Captain Heroic, their sort-of Superman-analog is secretly married to Miss Match, a pyrokinetic villain and they have a fun). One of their regulars in the series is Lightning Lady, a supervillainess who has never been THAT evil, but is trying to be the best villain she can (She started out as the Evil Inc receptionist, but through hard work, determination, a sentient memo (long story) and quite possibly some appropriately underhand dealing) is now in charge of their Customer Services Department, and she has her professional pride.
( Lightning Lady is getting a good rep, and she's NOT happy! )
