Chapter 17, Page 24b: The Wait is Over

Posted on August 12, 2026 by Brad Guigar

The wait is over for Hailey. She waited on tables. She waited on the algorithm. And, maybe most painfully, she waited for Captain Heroic to notice her.

Countess Influencia isn’t waiting anymore.

Now that she has an entire city hanging on her every move, she’s ready to turn the tables on Cap. And judging by the look on his face, she may have found a way to make sure he gives her his undivided attention.

About the Kickstarter

I’m thrilled to launch the Kickstarter for the next installment in the “Evil Inc / Evil Inc After Dark” series — a 120-page, softcover graphic novel printed on glossy paper.

This book collects three complete Evil Inc storylines originally published between 2020 and 2022 — along with their “after dark” counterparts. These spicy chapters peel back the curtain on what happens when the workplace comedy of supervillains takes an NSFW turn.

And if that wasn’t enough, Evil Inc After Dark: Full Stream Ahead also features a brand-new bonus tale, “Loads of Love” — an unrated story that’s never been collected in print before.
