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.
With a little over a week left to go in the Kickstarter campaign for the eighth Evil Inc graphic novel, I want to do everything I can to encourage people to pledge and promote! So I came up with a reward that I think you’re going to really love.
It’s the entire four-and-a-half-year run of my first webcomic, Greystone Inn. This 416-page behemoth has never been offered before in digital format, and if we reach $15K, all of my backers at or above the $10 level will get the whole thing in a tablet-friendly PDF file (DRM-free, of course).
And there’s more…
At the $15K mark, all of my backers who are eligible to receive a physical reward will get something extra in their shipment — a signed copy of Tales from the Con #1. This is a collection of comic-convention-related comics that I wrote and Chris Giarrusso illustrated for the Emerald City Comicon Web site. Here are some samples from that comic book.
I’m really excited about offering The Complete Greystone Inn PDF as a reward for my backers. It has a ton of extras — like some of my cartoons from when I was in high school and college. It has some of my early editorial cartooning. And it has three complete syndicate submission packages that I attempted before turning full-time to webcomics.
Here’s a little sample PDF of what you can expect from The Complete Greystone Inn.
To be completely honest — I think the stuff holds up remarkably well. I’m far enough removed from it that I can read it without remembering the punchlines, and some of that stuff had me laughing out loud.
(Now, of course, I’m an easy laugh, but still…)
So that’s my goal. If you haven’t decided to make a pledge, maybe this will entice you. If you’ve pledged already, maybe this encourages you to increase your amount. And it’s definitely something that I’m hoping you’ll share on your various social-media outlets!
Of course, if we surpass $11K, both of the original Stretch Goal rewards are still in play…
