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.

Webcomic readers, try to keep this flashback scene with the befuddled minions in mind, as the narrative is about to be hijacked by an extended "Semi-Meta Emp" sequence before we return to these fellas. In fact, the Semi-Meta Emp riff will be extended by an entire week's worth of bonus posts as I serialize pages that were deleted from the published version of Empowered vol. 12 for pagecount reasons. Wheeee!

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.
