We continue serialization of the collected version of the three-issue 2017 miniseries Empowered and the Soldier of Love, written and laid out by me and featuring full-color artwork by the Chilean webcomic artist Karla Diaz.

Panels 3: Yes, you guessed it, that phrase translates as "the chains of love," as seen in the next panel (and soundtracked by a similarly titled song).

Panel 4: I don't generally burden Guest Artists with depicting very much of the "damsel in distress" imagery featured in regular Empowered continuity, with this scene being a bit of an exception to that tendency.
