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….)
Build-a-Baddie Returns (And It’s Bigger, Badder, and More Chaotic)
The last Build-a-Baddie Poll was such a hit, it spun off not one but two projects — a microfic and a 1,500-word short story!
So naturally… we’re doing it again.
Welcome back to Build-a-Baddie — the crowd-sourced character experiment where you decide:
-
The creature
-
The personality
-
The situation they’re caught in
I take your winning combo and turn it into a brand-new illustration.
There’s also a Wildcard section if you want to whisper your weirdest ideas into the void. No promises… but I will read them.
Voting opens this week on Patreon. Bring your best (and worst) ideas.
Transcript — Evolution Success Stories
A single-panel cartoon shows two bug-like creatures standing on a forest floor surrounded by large green leaves. Both have tall, thin, purple bodies with spindly limbs and antennae. The bug on the right has colorful, symmetrical butterfly wings with orange, black, and white patterns and looks relatively normal — an evolution success story The bug on the left has a strange, mismatched set of wings that resemble bold, graphic signage instead of natural wings. The wings are black with bright orange arrows and large words pointing in different directions, including “TASTY,” “HERE,” and “YUM!” with arrows directing attention toward the bug’s own body. The malformed-wing bug looks uneasy, while the butterfly-wing bug looks on. Beneath the comic, a caption reads: “All I’m saying is… it’s easy to be a fan of evolution if all you hear about are the success stories…”
To the right of the panel is a blue box that reads: “Intermission — The Evil Inc storyline will continue next week.”
