We continue serialization of Empowered vol. 12, which proved to be the final volume of the series in this specific graphic-novel format, though I was unaware of that unfortunate reality when I started work on the book.

As I noted long ago in my commentary at the end of Empowered vol. 11, Spooky was originally supposed to spontaneously regrow her arm in the climactic act of the book as a kinda-sorta badass, uh, gesture; alas, I ran out of pagecount for such a flourish, which proved superfluous in any event as she didn't need two arms to wield her psychokinetic powers and strike down ol' Neurospear. (Oh, well.)

Next week on the webcomic, stand by for another abrupt and (If I recall correctly) very, very smelly scene change!  

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 Crazy Witch, The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
