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.

Panel 1: Ehh, indicating Emp and El Soldado with those teeny, cartoony headshots was a poor narrative choice on my part, as that approach detracts from the supposed seriousness of the moment. I should've rolled with full-sized insert panels of each character on either side, allowing for close-up shots that could've appeared less whimsically cartoonish.
