Here's another peak at that upcoming EiAD!
I spent the better part of this weekend outlining the next six months of Evil Inc. Since the reboot, I think of these more along the lines of 22-page comic books, and the final page of the current storyline will post this week.
(Actually, I've started to write Evil Inc like a classic sitcom. I have an "A Story" and a "B story," and I alternate between the two according to a planned structure .)
Aaaaaaanyway, in planning out this next 22-page episode, I noticed that there will be a lot of opportunities to start a sequence in Evil Inc and then throw it over to After Dark for the continuation — much like I did for the storyline being previewed above featuring Lightning Lady and her alt-u double.
Then it hit me. If I could pull it off. (And that remains to be seen.) I could conceivably write this next six months and include, for example, three EiAD scenes. As long as I handled the storytelling in such a way that the central story could stand without the sex scenes, I could wind up with something pretty cool...
...namely, the resulting Evil Inc graphic novel could be published in two formats. One would be the PG-13 version that collects only the comics that appeared on Evil-Inc.com. And a second version of the book could be produced that seemlessly connects Evil Inc and EiAD into one cohesive story.
I would Kickstart both at the same time, allowing people to choose between the two (and support both in doing so).
Mind you, we're talking mid-2018 at the earliest, here. And I still don't know whether I'll be able to pull off the logistics. And, I still have to put out an EiAD collection, a print collection of 2016's Evil Inc comics, and (possibly) the tenth volume of the original Evil Inc comic strip that collects all of the strips between Evil Inc Vol. 9 and the reboot in January 2016.
But I like a challenge.
The first book of 2017 is going to be an Evil Inc After Dark collection... and it's gonna feature a couple surprises.
But that's a post for another day...
very soon...
