Panel 1: An unusual but interesting variation on rendering Emp in this shot, gotta say.

Panel 2: Note that Thugboy wears a Ruger-logo T-shirt to accompany the Ruger P89 semiauto he's toting in his left hand. (Stand by for further complaints about how g-d miserable the P89 is to draw and to shoot; in fact, it might even be worse in the latter department, believe it or not.)

Next week on the webcomic serialization, stand by for mingled action and tearjerkery, folks!

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, such as updates on fantasy test project The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
