Panel 5: "OOF," ol' Willy Pete would no doubt say.

Panel 6: Admittedly, looks rather like Rivet's throw just barely landed Emp on the edge of that building's roof, but that has more to do with the compositional limitations of the shot I chose for this panel than anything else; if Emp had WHMPPed down thirty feet in from the edge, say, I would've had a tough time fitting in a view of the other rooftop below. (As is, this shot still isn't terribly accurate to the previous page's view of the relative heights of both roofs.)

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.
