Evil Inc full page, week of March 4, 2025

Here's your early access to the full-page version of next week's Evil Inc comics! Many of you saw the succubus in the sketch stage when I posted a preview on Patreon chat. As a special bonus, here's the bulletin board that can be seen in the background.

 Transcript

Panel 1
(Scene: A church basement on the west side of Fairmount City. Matt excitedly recognizes Angus the Minotaur.)

Matt: Hey! I know you!
Matt: You’re Angus the Minotaur!
Angus: Ach! Look, mate, I’m not lookin’ for any bother!

Panel 2
(Matt tries to reassure Angus while fanboying over him.)

Matt: It’s OK!
Matt: I’m a hench just like you!
Matt: —Well, not just like you! You’re a legend!
Angus: Thank you. Good night.

Panel 3
(Matt stops Angus from leaving, insisting on buying him a drink.)

Matt: HOLD ON! You gotta let me buy you a beer!
Angus: No, thanks, I... Excuse me...

Panel 4
(A woman with dark hair and bat-like wings approaches Angus with a question.)

Woman: Could you tell me which way to the Route Three bus stop?
Matt: Oh!
Angus: Oh, yes!
Matt: Let me show you...

Panel 5
(Angus finally gives in to Matt’s persistence, picking him up as he agrees to have a drink together.)

Angus: Fine, then, ya dobber. Let’s have a damned pint...

Panel 6
(The winged woman panics and tries to stop them.)

Woman: WAIT! NO!

Panel 7
(The woman sighs as she stands near a bulletin board, revealing she is attending a support group meeting.)

(Sign on the bulletin board: "From Mildly Annoying to Intolerable - TONIGHT
7 PM Minotaurs Without Mates
8 PM Succubi Support: Overdrainers Anonymous")

(The woman’s wings extend with a "FWUMP" sound as she resigns herself to the situation.)

Woman: (sigh)

Panel 8

(At a nearby watering hole...)
Matt the Henchman: I don’t get it! You’re the highest-ranked hench in the biz! What’s got you down?!

Panel 9

(Argus the Minotaur sighs, sitting at the bar with Matt, drinking beer.)
Argus the Minotaur: sigh I used to hench with a woman. She was… amazing.

Panel 10

 (Flashback of Argus thinking about the past.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how I felt about her because it woulda wrecked our working relationship.

Panel 11

(Flashback continues.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): When she got promoted, I left henching and just… kicked around for a while.

Panel 12

(Another flashback, showing Argus sneaking up on Lightning Lady from behind.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): After years of trying to forget her, I decided to give it one more try.

Panel 13

(Argus and Lightning Lady sit next to each other, playing video games.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): Now I’m back where I started. I’m henching again, and she’s close enough to touch, but too far to hold.
*Caption: After a brief stint at the Silver Agency.

Panel 14

(Back at the bar, Matt looks at Argus.)
Matt the Henchman: So… what? You’re just gonna suffer in silence?

Panel 15

(Argus grins sadly.)
Argus the Minotaur: Trust me. You do not want to hear a minotaur suf fer out loud.
