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.
The biggest comic convention of the year kicks off next week, and I’m going to be there in the thick of it. Here’s a guide to what to expect — and a few ways that you can join in the fun if you’re not going to be in San Diego.
I’m going to be posting live audio commentary during the flight out, from the convention floor, and on the long road back. You can track the updates if you follow my Twitter feed or if you’re a friend on Facebook.
I’ll be exhibiting along with Dave Kellett and Kris Straub under the Halfpixel banner at booth 1228. See the map below for a detailed look at the Webcomics Pavilion at Comic Con. Scott’s PvP booth is up the aisle, next to Penny Arcade.
We’re going to be featuring a couple special offers — ‘Pixel Packs — at the Halfpixel booth. ‘Pixel Pack #1 is the first volume of each daily-comic collection (Evil Inc, Starslip and Sheldon) for $30. ‘Pixel Pack #2 is the latest volume of each daily-comic collection (Evil Inc, Starslip and Sheldon) for $35. Of course, we’ll have the How To Make Webcomics book on hand as well — and this is an excellent time to pick one up since you’ll be able to collect signatures from all four authors while you’re there.
I’ll have both new books available at the convention — Phables and Evil Inc Annual Report Vol. 4. I’ll also have back issues available, too, including all of the earlier Evil Inc collections, and I’ll have original art from the strip available at a special convention-only price. If you want me to bring a certain original, please e-mail me and let me know.
On Saturday, I’ll be appearing, along with my friends Scott Kurtz, Dave Kellett and Kris Straub, in a panel discussion at 2 p.m. We’ll be doing a live version of the Webcomics Weekly podcast in Room 8. This panel has been standing-room-only in the past, and last year the convention staff actually had to deny entry to people who arrived late, so get there a little early.
