Panels 2 & 3: This might be the only time in all of Empowered that a character speaks without bolded and underlined emphasis lettering, as I normally have very strong ideas about which words in a character’s dialogue should be “punched up.” (For my money, any writer who avoids emphasis lettering in dialogue is missing out on one of the greatest creative tools inherent to the Western comics idiom.) Ah, but here Spooky is supposed to be speaking in an utterly flat and lifeless monotone, for which a lack of emphasis lettering seemed the perfect approach.

And now, time for Empowered vol. 5’s closing act, folks.
