Cutthroat

Original Release Date: June 15, 2010

This is a really curious page because Bob mentions that Stu has killed some of his employees, which is a dark revelation. Yeah, Stu is a ninja and has these sorts of tendencies, but he's also more or less a full good guy at this point, so he doesn't just go around killing people without good reason anymore. The best explanation I can muster is that maybe these were employees who had been with Bob for a really long time, and their minds were totally warped by his mind-altering abilities. It's possible they were completely and hopelessly devoted to Bob, and Stu had no choice but to resort to drastic means in freeing them from Bob's influence--a fate worse than death, perhaps?

Oh, and Evil Bad Guy Ninja is back, and of course he's thrown in with a scumbag like Bob. His return was one of the few ideas for Volume 2 set in stone from the very beginning. He doesn't have any intention of letting Stu off the hook any time soon, pending something really disastrous and unexpected.
