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.

One problem with this concluding issue is that I wound up cramming a bit too much narrative content and dialogue into limited pagecount, resulting in a fairly uniform panel count and visual density throughout the chapter.  In retrospect, I clearly should've cut back on the amount of material covered so that we could have been able to open up the page layouts for bigger, bolder, and more striking imagery to emphasize key narrative points like this one—though I do have to say this page still conveyed its punchline decently enough.

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 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.
