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.

Five to Pull / One to Pass: June 3, 2009

Posted on June 3, 2009 by Brad Guigar

Amazing Spider-Man #596

Creative team: Story by Joe Kelly; art by Phil Jimenez and Paulo Siqueira

Villain to Watch: Venom

They say: Spider-Man goes up against Venom and Bullseye as he prepares to infiltrate the Dark Avengers headquarters. Meanwhile Harry’s life takes a dramatic turn now that he’s reunited with Lily and wedding plans continue for two lucky Parker pals.

I say: Venom, as a character, is just about due for a major story point, and this is the perfect place to write it into Spidey continuity. He’s been underplayed as a Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers teammate. Here’s hoping this issue lives up to the standard set by last ish.

Dark Avengers #5

Creative team: Story by Brian Michael Bendis; art by Mike Deodato

Villain to Watch: Norman Osborn / Green Goblin

They say: When the public is reminded of Norman’s terrible past, Norman’s wheeling and dealing becomes a public concern. Plus, some of the Avengers are getting frisky with each other, and that can’t be good. Plus the return of…the Cabal!

I say: This series has been solid from the first page on. This issue offers an unravelling Norman Osborn and “frisky” Thunderbolts. I respectfully submit that it don’t get much better than that.

Deadpool: Suicide Kings #3

Creative team: Story by Mike Benson; art by Carlo Berberi

Villain to Watch: Deadpool

They say: Deadpool’s been framed. No, really! This time, Wade didn’t do it — and he’s determined to prove his innocence and find the person responsible. But first, he’s got to stay alive or out of jail. And with the Punisher and Spider-Man both hot on his trail, that’s not going to be easy. Even if he’s got the help of a certain Man Without Fear.

I say: I’ve been really grooving on the Deadpool character as of late, and a good, old-fashioned frame-up story never hurts. Also, Daredevil has been flying under the radar of the Marvel Universe (get it?). It will be nice to see him swinging into action again.

Mighty Avengers #24

Creative team: Story by Dan Slott; art by Stephen Segovia

Villain to Watch: None

They say: What would be the greatest heist of all time? Breaking into the First National Bank? The Tower of London? Fort Knox? No. It’d be knocking over the Baxter Building! But why would Hank Pym want to rip off Mr. Fantastic? And are the other Avengers ready to become Earth’s Mightiest Cat Burglars? Part one of the all-new Mighty Avengers/Fantastic Four throwdown starts here!

I say: I’ve been lukewarm on this title for the last few issues, but Dan Slott is probably one of the strongest writers in comics right now, and we’re overdue for a rousing hero-vs-hero clash. So it’s on the pull list. For this week.

Secret Six #10

Creative team: Story by Gail Simone; art by Nicola Scott

Villain to Watch: Artemis

They say: Where have all the forgotten heroes and villains of the DCU been? The Six are blackmailed by someone claiming to be their old boss, Mockingbird, into a brand-new mission taking them into the heart of the metahuman slave trade! And former Wonder Woman Artemis returns in the most brutal Secret Six story yet! Find out why Wizard Magazine says, ‘If you’re not reading this book, you should be.

I say: They’re still publishing ‘Wizard’?

Seriously, my angst over got getting mentioned in the latest “Indie Comics” issue aside, Gail Simone has made this title something to truly savor, issue after issue. And Nicola Scott’s art has never been tighter. At this point, Simone could base the next SS script on the Haddonfield, NJ, phone book and I’d have it on the pull list.

…And One to Pass

Superman: New Krypton

Creative team: Story by James Robinson and Greg Rucka; art by Pete Woods

Villain to Watch: General Zod

They say: A new planet suddenly appearing in any space sector would demand the scrutiny of the Green Lantern Corps. When the planet in question is New Krypton and the space sector is 2814, it means Kandor City gets a visit from Hal Jordan and John Stewart, with Daxamite Sodam Yat along for good measure. But what starts as a good-will mission soon becomes a manhunt for some of the Phantom Zone’s most deranged and dangerous criminals and leads ultimately to dire conflict between the Corps and Zod’s Military Guild – with Superman caught in the middle!

I say: someone talk me out of this. The entire concept of New Krypton leaves me utterly cold. I’m not beyond rethinking my opinion, but it’s gonna take some convincing. For now… pass.

While You’re There…

Girls of Gaming #3

They say: Play Magazine, the premier lifestyle magazine of video game culture, brings readers Girls of Gaming, a celebration of the female form in video games, anime, comics, and more! The ‘girls of gaming’ are brought to life through CGI renders, concept artwork, and commissioned and exclusive original artwork. Each volume features hundreds of full-color images, interviews with creators, gamers, and the girls themselves, plus game information and more. If you love games, you’ll love Girls of Gaming!

I say: Really? We’re going there now?
