Panel 3: Ehh, bit of a mistake on my part by having Thugboy wimp out so quickly in the face of a semi-meta bedroom challenge. Looking back on it, he might well be correct about the difficulty of dealing with an "Emp en masse" scenario, but I'm sure he'd like to give such a daunting situation "the old college try, " if you will. (Er, not that he went to college.)

Panel 5: And Thugboy would definitely know about cryoguns, as seen in a certain Empowered vol. 3 flashback.

Today’s Patreon Update: As I did last month, I'm taking off the third week of April from putting up new Patreon content, as I just can't keep up an every-weekday posting schedule while struggling to make progress on Empowered vol.12. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
