Meet the criminal co-workers who really mean it when they "punch in" for the day
The Story So Far...
Evil Inc is a national corporation run by supervillains. It's like any other workplace except the dress code leans heavily towards spandex, and interdepartmental conflicts sometimes involve lasers and a trip to the emergency room. (When these folks punch in at the beginning of the day, they really mean it.) It's a workplace filled with secret identities, secret weapons, and secret passageways... yet the biggest secret of all may be the budding romance between one employee, Miss Match, and the city's top superhero, Captain Heroic.
History of this comic
Brad Guigar launched Evil Inc in 2005 as a spin-off of his daily comic strip, Greystone Inn, which was launched in 2000. From 2005 to 2016, it ran as a daily comic strip, published online and in several newspapers, including the Philadelphia Daily News.
In 2016, Guigar rebooted the comic, shifting from a daily strip to a graphic novel format. The characters and storylines were also reimagined. During this time, Evil Inc After Dark was also launched, which offered a decidedly spicy continuation of some of the Evil Inc stories.
Evil Inc has been nominated twice as the Best Online Longform Comic by the National Cartoonists Society (2023 and 2024), and it won the ’Ringo Award for Best Humor Webcomic in 2023.
So far, there are nine print collections of the original Evil Inc comic strip, and two collections of the rebooted comic.
Wouldn't the source of most hero's money be finder's fees on stuff the villains stole? Or is that too unethical? Or too ethical? I'm easily confused.
That was super-useful. I already had a feel for the vibe, which is part of why I subscribed, but I wasn't sure about the actual plot, narrative arcs, and other goings on. Nicely done.
