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.”
I just caught a hilarious movie on iFilm.com! It’s called
Tim Warner: A Life In The Clouds. Its a comedy about a bad cartoonist who does a lame daily comic strip. (think Ziggy, Garfield, etc…). When his comic is taken out of the paper and replaced by a more “edgier” political strip (think Mallard Fillmore, Boondocks, etc) the two cartoonist must battle it out!
It’s a little long at 36 minutes, but it’s well worth the time. If you’ve ever winced at hokey comics like Marmaduke and Ziggy, you’re going to love this. It was clearly made by people who
love comic strips. These guys nailed it. I’m telling you, I laughed out loud.
And they even got Berke Breathed to do a cameo.
The movie itself has a
Web site, that’s worth checking out as well.
[Edit: The movie has some profanity. Also, I’m told that FilmThreat gave it a bad review. Boo on you, FilmThreat, I say boo on you!]
