Chapter 17, Page 26b: Massive Power Surge

Posted on September 3, 2026 by Brad Guigar

Dr. Muskiday was this close to finding a way to defeat the macronanos.

Then came a massive power surge.

Now the macronanos are suddenly swimming in raw emotional energy, Muskiday has to redouble his efforts, and nobody at Evil Inc can figure out where all that extra power came from.

Meanwhile, somewhere nearby, Countess Influencia has a very simple request for Captain Heroic:

“Kiss me.”

Mystery solved.

Evil Inc After Dark: Full Stream Ahead collects three complete Evil Inc storylines — along with their adults-only “after dark” counterparts. These spicy chapters peel back the curtain on what happens when superhero satire and workplace comedy take a decidedly NSFW turn.

• Heroic Revenge — Captain Heroic and Miss Match try to build trust while Commander Heroic continues to loom over their relationship. Meanwhile, Lightning Lady falls for a mysterious new face at Evil Inc whose past may prove explosive.

• Homeward Bound — Desi’s time on Earth is almost up unless she can pull off one major act of mischief. Her solution looks suspiciously like an OnlyFans account. Meanwhile, Cap and Miss Match discover that Commander Heroic still has opinions about their love life.

• Long-Lost Fiends — Cassie Cruz’s superhero temp agency is booming, but Thea Rhutman has villainous plans of her own. And Lightning Lady finds herself tempted by an old flame — a cheerful, musclebound minotaur.

And that’s not all. Full Stream Ahead includes the brand-new bonus story “Loads of Love,” an unrated adventure never before collected in print. When Dynasty and Battalion discover their superpowers can be passed along genetically, they decide it may be time to start a new kind of super team — with a little hands-on assistance from their friends.

Packed with superhero satire, workplace comedy, romantic complications, and plenty of adults-only bonus material, Full Stream Ahead is the next oversized installment of Evil Inc After Dark.

Coloring Evil Inc

Posted on December 15, 2014 by Brad Guigar

I’m happysad to announce that I’m looking for a new colorist for Evil Inc.

I’m sad because Evil Inc’s original colourist, Ed Ryzowski, has been an integral part of my comic for seven years. His work has been nothing short of routinely amazing.

I’m happy because Ed is moving on to do exciting, rewarding work — a creator-owned property (Season of the S.H.A.R.K.S.) that has tons of potential. And if working on Evil Inc helped to speed along that process, then I’m extremely proud to see him launch something like this.

So, starting in January, I’m going to be looking for a new colorist for Evil Inc. If you’re interested, you can scroll down. But first, allow me a little nostalgia.

Ed Ryzowski

Our story starts in January 2008. During a recording of  Episode 22 of the Webcomics Weekly podcast, each of us expressed how we’d love to see our comics in color — although none of us felt we had the extra time (nor, in some cases, the expertise) to do it well.

Shortly, after that episode aired, I recieved an e-mail from Ed Ryzowski offering to color the strips. He was looking to establish himself as a comics colorist, and working on a daily strip seemed like a good way to hone his skills quickly. We worked out a pay scale, and on February 18, 2008, Evil Inc appeared for the first time in color.

Ed has been adding his masterful touch to my work every day ever since.

And, after working on my strip for a while, he started to add other credits to his name — he became the colourist for The Gutters,  Looking for Group, Captain Ultimate and others. And this month, he clinched a successful Kickstarter for his own creator-owned title, Season of the S.H.A.R.K.S.

My favorite thing about working with Ed? Besides his proficiency as a colourist and his overall professionalism, I’d have to say this: I never had to write the guy a note. He knew what had to be done, and he did it — expertly. I’d sneak a freaking deep-catalog mainstream comics cameo into a background and he’d catch it every time — nailing the colors perfectly. It wasn’t a test, mind you. Ed and I established a relationship early on in which I gave him complete ownership over the colors of my strip. (How complete? I found out that Desdemona had green hair after he colored her. And her hair’s been green ever since.) If he had chosen different colors for that background cameo, I’d have been just as happy. It was like an unspoken game that we played. And Ed never lost. Take this for example…

Anybody could have spotted Sinestro and Romat Ru (Tomar-Re’s fellow Xudarian). But Ed nailed the Lyssa Drak cameo in the background. That’s a sign of a dedicated comics colourist.

Or a misspent childhood.

Or both. 🙂

My only complain about Ed? I always run out of superlatives when I try to describe him.

The new Evil Inc colorist

I realize it’s short notice. And I’m perfectly comfortable with the fact that some (or all) of January’s strips may appear at first in black-and-white on the site. I didn’t want to announce this during Ed’s Kickstarter for fear of stealing the focus away from Ed’s new project.

If you think you’re qualified to color Evil Inc, please get in touch. (You can also e-mail me using brad (at) evil-inc (dot) com.) My preference would be someone who is familiar with preparing images for print publication (since the comics appear in newspapers as well as the printed graphic novels). This is a paid position.
