We continue serialization of the collected edition of the six-issue 2018 miniseries Empowered and Sistah Spooky’s High School Hell, written and laid out by me and featuring art and lettering by Guest Artist Carla “Speed” McNeil and coloring by Jenn Manley Lee.
Panel 1: Note that "KRAK KOOM" has long been my favorite sound FX for conveying the sound of a thunderclap, despite the now meme-able aspects of the second half of that onomatopoiea. (Dig the sweet flames that Carla added wreathing said lower part of the FX, by the way.)
Next week on the webcomic serialization, the miniseries wraps up in a hurry; I might end up padding out the week's posts with several days of bonus material so that I can start off Empowered vol. 12 on a Monday. Yay?
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. So, who knows what today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design departments, or possibly something entirely new, such as updates on fantasy test projects The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!-Adam Warren
