Panel 2: As was established in a scene back in Empowered vol. 8 that I have neither the time nor the inclination to look up this morning, ol' Hardkore apparently cut quite the swath through the ranks of superheroines back when he was still living (and loving).

Next week on the webcomic serialization, our visit with the Superdead wraps up before Empowered vol. 10 moves on to a new chapter. Meanwhile, in the commentaries, excepting of prose experiment  I Am Empowered also moves on to a new chapter, this time kicking off an especially fun series of riffs re: superheroic rescuing and Emp's many, many neologisms for such practices. 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. Golly!
