We continue serialization of the collected edition of the six-issue 2018 miniseries Empowered and Sistah Spooky’s High School Hell, written and laid out by me and featuring art and lettering by Guest Artist Carla “Speed” McNeil and coloring by Jenn Manley Lee.

Whoops, I procrastinated in writing this week's commentaries as I immersed myself in a (very) promising new workflow approach; I'm hastily cranking out this text a week late, before processing and scheduling the next week's worth of pages later the same night. (Oh, well.)

Honestly, if the request wouldn't be a burden to 'em, I might well ask Carla or Jenn for their commentaries on the material, as of late I find myself ever more burnt out and lacking much of anything of interest to say about this project. (That would be a burden to both of 'em, alas.)

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 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.
