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.
My Patreon supporters have seen my new comic strip.
Well… kinda.
See, I’ve had this idea for a new comic strip — a spin-off of Evil Inc in a weird way — that I’ve been batting around for a while. But before Patreon, I’ve never had much incentive to develop it.
However, since I’m doing bonus cartoons (my goal is to hit 3 a week), I can justify the time that I put into working on that much more easily!
Although I haven’t decided on a title yet, the concept involves taking the characters of Oscar and Oliver out of Evil Inc and putting them in a traditional family strip. The “real” Oscar and Oliver might stay with Evil Inc… these would be different kids — one a superhero and the other a supervillain — being raised by “civilian” parents. In fact, the two boys would be the only “supers” in the comic.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that some of the funniest stuff I post there comes from my two sons, ages 12 and 8. And, truthfully, they already supply the inspiration for Oscar and Oliver. But I get an impression from my readers that they find the Oscar-and-Oliver storylines to be an interruption in what they expect from Evil Inc. And, honestly, I’d like to see what happens when these two take center stage completely.
So… I’m working on it. And my Patreon supporters — for as little as one dollar a month — are getting a front-row seat. I’m posting my thought process, pages from my sketchbook (something I’ve rarely — if ever — done), and finished strips. I posted the first completed strip last week, and I have another prepped for next week.
How long will it go on? I don’t know. I’m keeping it open, and I’m not making promises. This might be a regular part of the bonus cartoons I’m planning to stock my Patreon feed with. Or it might be something I work on in spurts. It might become a webcomic someday, or it might become a Patreon-exclusive. I’m going to see where it takes me.
Anyway, last week I revealed all of the bonus cartoons my Patreon backers saw. This week, I’m showing thumbnails to two of them (including the one above and the one to the right) and revealing one (scroll down).
If you’ve been thinking about backing me on Patreon, this is the perfect time. That freaking Creations feed is bursting with extra content and conversations! And the more you give, the more you get — $5 gets you all of this plus a free monthly eComic in which you can read all of the upcoming month’s Evil Inc strips in one file PLUS bonus material from the archive! And all backers get access to the Creations feed that features the bonus strips.
This comic is another reason I’m really loving Patreon. I originally pitched the idea above to Tales From the Con, a weekly comic I write for the Emerald City Comicon Web site. It wasn’t the right fit for them, but I still liked the idea. Before starting Patreon, I really didn’t have a reason (or an outlet) for an idea like this. In the end, I think it’s a very good cartoon.
