The final book in this graphic novel series follows STEVE L. McEVIL (2022), and STEVE L. McEVIL and the SECOND WIND (2023). You can get by reading this third book without having read the first two, but you’ll find a deeper connection to the story line by reading all three.

Like the previous books, STEVE L. McEVIL and the TWISTED SISTER is filled with bold, colorful images. The plot has humor, friendships, and a very unusual family featuring Steve and his sister, Eve. Here’s what to expect:

After being sucked into a wormhole, supervillain-in training Steve L. McEvil and his friends find themselves stranded in space! But with their new alien friend Lux, they might just find a way to stop the evil Perses from destroying Earth. If they manage to get home first.

Back on Earth, Eve is ready to enact her evil plans and finally be seen as the real supervillain in her family. When Gramps comes to her for help, Eve’s first instinct is to say no. But the glory of rubbing it in Steve’s face might just be enough for Eve to help bring him home in time to stop Perses.

The 20 chapters stay close to either Steve on an alien planet or Eve as she deals with a persistent grandpa back on earth. The story will keep even the most reluctant reader engaged. It’s a book perfect to bring on a family vacation where getting there can be overly boring, but not so with this series in hand.

STEVE L. McEVIL and the TWISTED SISTER debuted this week. A great gift for the supervillain in your family.
