We now conclude serialization of the collected edition of the six-issue 2018 miniseries Empowered and Sistah Spooky’s High School Hell, written and laid out by me and featuring art and lettering by Guest Artist Carla “Speed” McNeil and coloring by Jenn Manley Lee. Hope you enjoyed the experience, dear readers!
Next week begins serialization of Empowered vol.12, the final published book in the series both written and drawn by me; I didn't actually realize this would be the last book in the existing format until quite late in the volume, as a number of factors converged rather late in production to make that conclusion abundantly clear (as I will discuss in the commentaries).
One thing I am strongly considering for vol. 12 is eventually downshifting serialization of the book to a Monday/ Wednesday/Friday posting schedule, which I really should've done years and years ago; I'd want to do that both to extend the webcomic's viability (such as it is) as an active property but also to (quite belatedly) bring the serialization frequency closer to the actual production speed of the final few volumes, as I was never able to write and draw more than 15 pages per month on Empowered vols. 11 or 12.
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. So, who knows what today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design departments, or possibly something entirely new, such as updates on fantasy test projects The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained.
