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.

And lo, we're back to the setting of the climactic act of Empowered vol. 6, albeit with an unhappier outcome! Lordy loo!

Gotta say that Deathmonger's "wavy-looking" dialogue pattern, which shifts font size from word to word and even letter to letter, honestly looks more like generically crappy and uneven lettering than it evokes the warbling tone of an undead speaker's voice. (Oh, well.)

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, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics Crazy Witch, The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
