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.

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.

Philadelphia Comic Con

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Brad Guigar

Wizard-World-Philly-LogoIt’s hard to believe, but the kids are almost out of school and Philadelphia Comic Con is just around the corner! It kicks off Thursday, June 19, and goes through Sunday, June 22. That’s the weekend after this one!

As you may have noticed, I’ve cut waaaaay back on my convention appearances. Aside from Emerald City Comicon in Seattle and (possibly) Baltimore Comic Con, this is the only convention I have on my schedule at this point.

If you’re coming out to the show, here’s how you can find me. I’ll be directly across from one of my all-time heroes, Neal Adams!

The good news is that I’ve got a ton of great stuff lined up for that weekend — books, panels, consultation opportunities, and more!

Books

Webcomics_Handbook_GumroadUnfortunately, the eighth Evil Inc graphic novel will not be available in time for the show (in fact, the Kickstarter to fund the book will be wrapping up right around the start of the convention). However, this is a great chance to pick up my new tutorial, The Webcomics Handbook. In fact, you can get your hands on one of the limited-edition hardcovers that aren’t available in stores or online.

Either way, it’s a great opportunity to pick up a book that covers webcomics — art, business and beyond — from the top down.

And, of course, if you don’t have the earlier Evil Inc graphic novels, this is a good time to pick them up, have me sign ’em and do a personalized sketch for you.

I’ll also have copies of some of my other books there — like Phables, a collection of comics about everyday life in Philadelphia.

Original Art

I’ll have a bunch of Evil Inc originals on hand as well. If you have a favorite strip, please drop me a line and let me know so I can have it available for you to look at. These originals are done with black archival ink on heavy bristol board, and the blue pencil sketch is still visible under the final art. They really do look good when people mat-and-frame them. Many an outhouse wall have been significantly spruced, I’m telling ya.

Commissions

If you’ve seen me at conventions, you know the deal. You can get on my commission list at the show and I’ll do a personalized piece of art just for you. $20 for a single figure (little or no background), and $40 for a completed piece. However, if you buy a book, I’ll do a headshot sketch inside the book at no charge whatsoever.

Comics Consultation

As I’ve done in the past, I’ll take a small number of scheduled consultation sessions. This is similar to the Skype sessions that I offer. In fact, I’ll have you use the very same online form to pay for and schedule the session. You will receive a complimentary copy of The Webcomics Handbook (the limited-edition hardcover that sells for $50) when you show up for your consultation. Once you’ve signed up, I’ll get in touch and we’ll schedule the best time for you to come over for your one-on-one consultation. I usually host these sessions at my booth — since we’ll have a little elbow room there — but I’m more than happy to accommodate any special requests you might have.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Panels

I’ll be hosting three tremendous panels during the convention.
