Last week was dominated by two things — the oppressive heat wave in Philadelphia and receiving my advance copies of both versions of "Evil Inc: Power Couple." I had received an advance copy of "Evil Inc: Middle Management" a few weeks earlier, so I was white-knuckling it until I could put my eyes on the rest of the order!

Power Couple and Middle Management

 

"Evil Inc: Middle Management" is the NSFW softcover edition. While I can't show the pages due to their mature content, there's a lot to appreciate here.

The glossy cover is a visual treat, and the exceptional printing quality makes the interior colors leap off the page. I was initially concerned about having enough content for this edition, but it turned out to be wonderfully substantial. It"s vibrant, engaging, and truly stands out on any shelf.

"Evil Inc: Power Couple" is available in both softcover and hardcover editions. The softcover version turned out beautifully. The colors jump off the glossy pages — it's a real delight to read. The vibrant and crisp illustrations make every page engaging.

The cover of the hardcover edition of "Power Couple"  is a sight to behold. I splurged on spot gloss to make the foreground characters pop. I was even able to include some cool special effects on the back cover, like a sneaky Evil Inc logo. Both the dust jacket and the interior cover feature these effects, making it a truly special edition.

The interior pages are exactly the same as the softcover — vibrant, crisp, and lively. This is the best way to enjoy Evil Inc: High resolution and maximum volume.

Thanks to us hitting our stretch goal, everyone whose pledge includes a physical copy of "Power Couple" will get the free option to upgrade to hardcover!

Now that I've approved the books, our printer will start shipping them to me. This process will take a few weeks. After I accept the shipment here in Philly, I can start mailing them out!

Hopefully, it will be a little cooler by then!

Evil Inc After Dark

When we last left the Dragonelle, she had just been bamboozled by the Giggler...

 

Now, as the Mystic Apprentice tries to escape his peculiar personal prison, Dragonelle must figure out how to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Can she outwit the giddy Giggler. (Does even she want to??)

 

We'll see the culmination of this scene tomorrow.

Evil Inc

I've been sharing images from my drawing board recently — both on the Patreon chat and in the Evil Inc Discord. Here's a recent favorite of mine...

 

Parting shot

Transcript

Dr. Whoosh, the CEO of Evil Inc speaks in front of a gathering of employees from the Fairmount branch that includes (from left): Miss Match, Catnip, Giant Tess, Dr. Muskiday, Count Spurlock, Iron Dragon, Lightning Lady, Tempest (Dr. Whoosh's assistant), Desdemona and Psy-Chick.

Panel 1: Dr. Whoosh: "*ahem* ladies and gentlemen... enemies and nemeses... It gives me great pleasure to introduce your new manager..."

Krakenos, pointing a long, menacing tentacle to Psy-Chick: "I want HER out of here RIGHT NOW!"

Panel 2: Krakenos, to Dr. Whoosh: "...I will NOT have a mind controller in my unit!"

Panel 3: Krakenos: "For all we know, she's been controlling each of you for years!"

Dr. Whoosh: "I'm sure she wouldn't do -"

Panel 4: Dr. Threat enters from the left: "Ummm... excuse me. The breakroom is filthy. Who's turn is it to clean it?"

Panel 6: All Fairmount branch employees answer in unison, staring blankly into space: "NOT PSY-CHICK'S!"

Psy-Chick, for her part, looks away in guilt.
