I have to agree with what some of the others are saying. This ending...is terrible, at least from a viewer perspective. However, I understand WHY it ended this way. Obviously you can't have a "hero" without a "villain". This story established that "villain", who has their time to shine. In this case, I see them as tragic villains, given that bad circumstances drove them to become bullies. This means Robbie and some of his friends will have a golden opportunity to get together in secret in the lab to acquire the same muscle growth formula as Alex and Chad, buff themselves up and, should any further reason fail, face the bullies head on in a fight to put them in their place and force them to face the true reality of the monsters they've become. It's a somewhat complex narrative that would have to be up to you as to how it plays out.
Of course, HOW such a narrative plays out can lead to either a means of doing it that allows Alex and Chad to see the error of their ways on their own OR it could lead to an even greater humiliation of them, which has a danger of driving them even deeper down the dark path they've chosen. A good comparison is Star Wars. On the one hand, Obi-Wan tried to reason with Anakin, which failed. Through combat, he severed Anakin's limbs and left him for dead, cementing his fall to the dark side. On the other hand you have Luke. Luke tried to reason with Darth Vader, which failed. Through combat, he severed Vader's limb, but refused to kill him. Seeing Palpatine trying to kill Luke, Vader redeemed himself as Anakin and killed Palpatine for good. Of course, there would presumably be no killing in a comic like this, but the basic principle is the same.
Heck, for all we know, those two could do something that crosses the line, even for them, which could be what forces them to stop.
In any case, how Robbie ultimately confronts Alex and Chad, presumably through force, can either put an end to their bullying ways for good or...

I never intended to make this ending happy or satisfying despite the "happy" faces of the last panel. It's more like a bittersweet conclusion to something that makes you feel doubtful about feeling good for them since they will no longer be tormented but at the expense of tormenting others. And you are right, there's a major confrontation coming since Robbie will surely need help to keep these two in check. I can't give further details without spoiling what I have in the works but you can be assured this storyline has just begun and these two jerks haven't really won the game like everyone thinks, there will always be someone who will fight back.
That's an interesting way to put it, I never intended to make these two the victims and justify their acts, the viewer has the choice to sympathize or not with them. So if these two decide to continue with their path of bullying and accept possible permanent damages to their reputation (which is very likely) then there will be no choice but to combat fire with fire but it will all depends on how this storyline concludes, they may or may not redeem themselves after the chaos they are about to start.
