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.
As you know, I’m an independent cartoonist using the Web as the primary distribution for my work. I don’t work under a syndicate, and I don’t have an employer in the traditional sense. Actually. You’re my employer. You and a few thousand others who stop by and read the comic on a regular basis.
Thank you, by the way. You’re the best bosses I ever had.
And in the same way a good employee doesn’t want to do anything to tick off his or her boss, I need some information.
You see, I use social media, like Facebook, Google Plus and Twitter, as the primary means of publicizing and promoting my work. Its the most effective means I have of growing my small business. And Facebook has long yielded the best results. I have a Facebook Fan Page for Evil Inc called Evil Inc Henchpeople. The comic is posted there regularly, as are features such as “This Day in Evil Inc History.” I post secret codes for discounts on Evil Inc merchandise from time to time, too. And little asides and background information. It’s actually a great place to get an expanded view of the Evil Inc universe and converse with other readers.
And that’s where I need your advice. See, Facebook works like this: It has an algorhythm called Edgerank that tries to determine what you want to see in your news feed. You don’t ever see everything that your Facebook friends post. You increase the probability of seeing a friend’s post by liking, sharing and commenting on them. That’s why you’re always hit with “Jimmy invited you to like his Page, Jimmy’s Gym Jam.”
And I hate hate hate getting those invitations.
But I’m a curmudgeon — given to fits of crotchetiness that would make your head swim.
The important thing is this: Do you hate them?
‘Cause I’m telling you right now, I’d really like to expand the reach of that Facebook page. But it’s going to take people “liking” that page. And that means inviting them to “like” the page. See the dilemma.
So I started a poll on Webcomics.com. And I got some good feedback. But now I want yours. It’s a one-question poll below, and I’d love for you to participate:
