We continue serialization of Empowered vol. 12, which proved to be the final volume of the series in this specific graphic-novel format, though I was unaware of that unfortunate reality when I started work on the book.

Note that this page continues the bonus feature of an extended "Semi-Meta Emp" sequence deleted from the published version of Empowered vol. 12 for pagecount purposes (hence the "Page 93E" label); this sequence, along with many other unused pages, will be part of the 30-odd pages worth of bonus content featured in the Empowered Deluxe Edition vol.4 hardcover due out in November!

TBH, Thugboy would almost certainly have gotten used to Emp's overdramatic roleplaying by this point in their time together, but who knows? Perhaps she really is a great actress in the ultraspecialized theatrical field of "mmphing"-only bedroom performances!

Tomorrow, back to our regularly scheduled serialization of Empowered vol. 12, folks; hope you can still remember the flashback scene with the puzzled minions, dear readers!

Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching out more worktime to complete the long-gestating Empowered vol. 12, I've switched over to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday Patreon posting schedule that won't feature the fixed content format I previously used. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics Crazy Witch, The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
