Panel 1: I still quite like the use of the "fade-outs" to white on either side of the panel during this Fugue State Manny interlude. Nicely done, 2014-ish Me!

Panel 3: As you'll see tomorrow, there is indeed a reason why Emp didn't just yell her request—no, her "order"—to the Manny Mecha from a distance.

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, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
