Lightning Lady: (Looks down, visibly distressed.)

Panel 2

Patreon_textbug Patreon supporters over the $5/month level automatically get this monthly comic as part of their reward package! Or you could just subscribe to the comic itself for 99¢ a month. This month’s comic is crammed with great stuff! First, we wrap up the storyline that revolved around Lightning Lady’s mother’s visit. From that, we spend a little time as Keagan and Elastic Man consider their budding… friendship? And from there, we careen headlong into a brand new adventure that will find Elastic Man (and some other Evil Inc favorites) in an intergalactic struggle of epic proportions! And for the Bonus Feature — oh, man! As a way to celebrate the digital release of the 416-page book, The Complete Greystone Inn, I’m grabbing all of the Greystone Inn strips that featured the gang attending Comic Con International! It’s over thirty pages of awesome bonus content! If you’ve never read G.I. before, I think you’re going to get a kick out of it!
