Evil Inc was the subject of a very good review from Webcomic Overlook, a tremendous blog that focuses on — you guessed it — reviews of webcomics you may have overlooked. Big thanks to El Santo who took an awful lot of time to do a detailed dissection of the strip!
An excerpt:
Perhaps Brad Guigar harbors a similar affection for supervillians. After all, he’s the creator and artist behind Evil Inc., a webcomic about a corporation run by supervillains for supervillains.
In fact, there’s a very good chance Mr. Guigar is himself a supervillian. Wikipedia states that he was born in a place called Bad Axe, Michigan, which is — I shouldn’t have to tell you — a wee bit suspicious. To get any more nefarious, you’ve gotta travel 150 miles down to Hell, Michigan … and don’t think that thought hasn’t crossed Mr. Guigar’s fiendish mind.
(Psst… El Santo… It hasn’t….)
Today’s page takes us back to Ralph’s Diner, where Captain Heroic proves—once again—that nothing rattles him… not even a surprise soup bath.
Hailey is mortified, Captain Heroic is dripping, and somewhere across the diner, Yazmine Velour is livestreaming the whole thing as heart emojis rain from the internet. It’s a small moment, but one that says a lot about who Cap really is—and why people can’t help falling for him.
Transcript

Hailey (distraught that she has dumped hot soup on Captain Heroic): Omigod Omigod Omigod…

Captain Heroic (handing her the napkin): Here. Please don’t cry.
Panel 4
Captain Heroic (continues): Most of my first impressions involve disintegration rays. And actual impressions. In concrete.
Panel 5
Captain Heroic: This was far more pleasant — not counting the bay leaf in my shirt.Yazmine Velour (as she livestreams the interaction from the other side of the diner, a torrent of heart emojis flow from her phone as the audience reacts): Omigod Omigod Omigod
After Dark
This week's commissioned MicroFic delivers exactly what you’d want from a pairing between Dynasty and Father Christmas.
-
Yes, he lives up to his name.
-
Yes, Dynasty knew exactly what she was doing.
-
No, the North Pole will never be the same.
I also posted the Goblin Girl MicroFic from the Monster Girl poll — and the response was so good, I might need to make these poll-powered MicroFics a recurring thing!
