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.

Five-panel Evil Inc comic. Back at Evil Inc, HoloClone Miss Match asks Dr. Muskiday what is wrong. Muskiday says he was close to finding a way to defeat the macronanos, but they have experienced a massive power surge. He says he will need to redouble his efforts and wonders where they got so much raw emotional power. In the final panel, a macronano reacts violently to Countess Influencia’s offscreen command, “Kiss me,” while HoloClone Miss Match asks whether this means she can use her Mentos bikini.
It’s a new episode of my boys’ podcast, “Hey Comics — Kids!” We’ve just returned from a truly phenomenal stay at Disney’s Pop Century resort, where we had a chance to take in the Walt Disney World theme parks. We hit Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Hollywood Studios — and had a freaking blast. Now that the dust has settled, I corralled the boys into the studio to get their thoughts on the best rides and attractions they experienced.
One of the attractions that enticed both boys was Disney’s new Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game. It’s a deck-building game that features interactive video-gaming. You start with a deck of cards that feature magic spells based on the heroes of Disney features (Aladdin, Robin Hood, etc.), and you’re plunged into a story — told through several hidden portals to be found throughout Disney’s Magic Kindgom park. In the story, Merlin (from the Sword in the Stone*) entreats you to help him thwart Hades (Hercules), who is on a quest to capture the crystals of the Magic Kingdom. Moving from portal to portal, you face Disney villains and defeat them using the cards to cast spells. You hold up the card, a hidden camera reads it, and the video displays the appropriate spell and effect on the villain.
My two sons were entranced by Sorcerers. In fact, we canceled our one scheduled visit to Animal Kingdom so we could spend a third day in the Magic Kingdom, playing this game. My 12yo defeated the entire first level. My 8yo would have too, but his adrenaline-junkie ways kept pulling him to the rides. Both had their first real experiences with deck-building — and trading with other players.
Me, I got to ride Haunted Mansion several times. I’m a happy guy.
