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.

Yeahp, time for an obvious Superdickery scenario! (That's a frickin' tumblr link, amazingly enough.)

For the record, I never bothered much with exploring the "capetropes" inherent to secret identities in Empowered because, for some reason, I have never, ever given a crap about such matters in the entire (life)time I've been reading comics. (My first and favorite superheroes were the conspicuously maskless Fantastic Four, after all.) 

Once again, I have no idea what the hell's coming up next week on the webcomic serialization. Let's find out together, shall we?

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!
