Er, I'd like to apologize for the serifed letter I throughout these color pages' dialogue, folks, as that is normally a massive "no-no" in comics lettering. Alas, this one-shot's lettering was handled in such a way that mass-scale revisions just weren't possible, so we'll all have to live with the somewhat "over-serifed" results.

While I really enjoy the way Emily Warren's artwork worked out in this story, I'd like to especially draw attention to Maidman's faintly visible "five o'clock shadow," which is a great idea I wish I'd thought of myself (for full-color cover illos, at least).

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.
