Panel 1: The first image in Emp's nightmare montage o' bondage is from a bit in Empowered vol. 2, while the other two are from vol. 3's introduction of Advanced Restraint Research and the story in which Emp goes undercover as not only the Sexy Librarian but the Sexy Lingerie Librarian.

Panels 3 & 4: Ah, yet another appearance of a storytelling fave of mine—namely, the silent reaction-shot close-up before a character speaks. (Ripped off from manga, natch.*)

*Not that anyone much younger than 50 has ever used—or is likely to have even heard—the once-popular slang term "natch," though I might be mistaken about that.
