Chapter 17 | Page 2a: Heroes Eat Local (And Regret It)

Kickstarter update

They’re here — the brand-new Evil Inc After Dark books have officially arrived, and they look absolutely fantastic. Crisp printing, dazzling spot gloss, gorgeous color, beautiful paper… everything came together better than I could have hoped. There’s nothing quite like opening a box of fresh EiAD books and seeing months of spicy, silly, and gloriously unhinged work bound into something real.

A huge thank-you to everyone who supported this run — your encouragement (and your impeccable taste in filth) made this possible.

So what’s next?

  • Fulfillment begins shortly. I’ll be prepping shipments and organizing inventory so these beauties can start making their way into your hands.

  • Backers will receive their remaining download codes through BackerKit, including the digital versions and add-on eComics.

  • And once the dust settles, I’ll be diving into planning the next EiAD release — because this universe keeps growing, and I’ve already got ideas simmering.

Holding a finished book is always a little surreal — a reminder of why I love making these stories, and why your support means the world. I can’t wait for you to crack these open and enjoy them.

Captain Heroic: Do I hafta do this??

Yazmine: Since taking over as Justice Ltd’s Director of Public Engagement, I'm showing the world what you heroes have to offer.

Captain Heroic: Tell me about it. I saw yesterday’s video of Phenomenal Lass stopping for breakfast during patrol.

Yazmine: That post went viral!

Captain Heroic: Do you really think #MorningMouthful was popular because of your marketing?!

Phenomenal Lass (in a crash cut scene. She’s standing in front of a street vendor, eating a sausage sandwich): Oopsie! Too much mayo!

Captain Heroic: I would hope today’s video will have a little more dignity than that.

Yazmine (begins recording Cap on her phone’s video camera): Fine.

Yazmine: Let’s focus on #HeroesEatLocal. Tell me again about your favorite waitress who works here. The one that reminds you of your mother.

Hailey (leans into the shot and throws her arms around Cap): Welcome back to Ralph’s Diner, Cap! We missed you! Are you having your “usual?”

Captain Heroic (to Yazmine): What… are you doing?

Yazmine: Trying to find a dignified hashtag for “Mommy Issues.”

The Wrong Way

I’m launching a new project with my friends Kevin McShane and Dave Kellett that I am absolutely chuffed to share with you! In our new show, The Wrong Way, We teach you how to draw your favorite cartoon characters without getting sued — and spend an insane amount of time roasting each other in the process. The first episode is a banger!

You can watch new episodes for free at youtube.com/@wrongwayshow, or bonus extended cuts at patreon.com/wrongwayshow. Follow us on Bluesky for all the fun stuff coming down the line.

Here’s the pitch…

How many times has this happened to you: You’re about to draw your favorite comics or cartoon character when a lawyer from the company that owns the character shows up — ready to sue you!

Well worry no more because in each episode of The Wrong Way, we take one of your favorite pop culture characters and redraw them in a way that no court in the land could possibly convict you for.

And along the way, we share drawing tips, fun stories, and fantastic friendship. It is a fun and 100% legal way to enjoy your favorite intellectual property!

It’s a show about friendship, creativity, and plausible legal deniability. And if you pay attention, you just might learn how to draw… The Wrong Way.
