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.
A highlight of Wizard World Philadelphia was that Evil Inc Annual Report Vol. 4 made its world premiere at the convention. And it came thisclose to not happening at all.
Due to an unfortunate circumstance, the shipment that was supposed to have been made before the Friday of the convention was going to be made on the Friday of the convention. And, when I called the trucking company Friday morning to get an estimated time of arrival, they told me the shipment wasn’t being scheduled for delivery until Monday.
"That’s just not gonna work," I said. "Where are you?"
"Cinnaminson, New Jersey."
After a brief check of GoogleMaps, I said, "I can be there in twenty-two minutes. Tell ya what. I’m gonna drive over and take one box off the palette. You can deliver the palette on Monday, but I’m gonna get one box today."
Despite the fact that it was "highly irregular," the fine people at NewPenn trucking worked with me, and by 9 a.m., I was flying back over the Betsy Ross Bridge with enough books for the convention.
And I’m glad I did. This is my first full-color book, and Ed’s colors look tremendous on these slick, glossy pages. It’s a gorgeous book. And you guys came out to support the new book at Wizard World Philly in droves. I was amazed at the response I got for this book. Marc Lombardi has the honor of buying the first book out of the box.
As always, the book was a big hit with all of the villains on the convention floor, including Hush, Riddler and Star Sapphire…
Yesterday morning, NewPenn delivered the rest of the books as scheduled. They arrived at 9:30 in the morning, and I had them safely stored away by about 11 a.m.
I will be shipping out Volume 4 packages immediately. Artist Editions will follow. I’m hoping to have much of the books shipped by the time I have to leave for San Diego for Comic Con International.
