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.

Ehh, this sequence worked out kinda wonkily, but what the heck. Capitan Rivet's dialogue, added to clarify what otherwise would've been tough to convey as wordless action, slows down the action a bit too much; also, I should've had him say something like "EVASIVE MANEUVERS!" or the like, as the "BRACE FOR IMPACT" riff makes it seem like the Homeys are just hovering there like dummies. (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 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.
