Panel 3: Er, this does pose the question of how Emp avoided notice of her real supersuit while presumably changing into (fake) costume with her fellow licensed cosplayers. Then again, maybe they all changed their clothes in, say, bathroom stalls onsite, so this wouldn’t be that big of a stretch? No, wait, I already showed them in a separate break room earlier in the story, where they probably would’ve donned their respective outfits. Hrmmm. Well, perhaps Emp feigned social anxiety—in her charmingly awful Southern accent, no doubt—and went off to the bathroom to change by herself? Ehh, maybe.

Panel 4: Really like this shot of Frowny Emp, for some reason. Well done, decade-ago me!
