The Soldier of Love p.49
Posted April 30, 2025 at 12:01 am

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.

As I mentioned on Monday, I hadn't worked up many (or any, really) ideas for further stories of "El Soldado del Amor" since I wrapped up work on the miniseries back in 2017. Ah, but as this webcomic serialization has unfolded over the last 50-odd updates, my inscrutable Muse has been barraging me with many new narrative concepts featuring El Soldado (and Senor Pangolin, of course), much to my own bemusement (pun unintended).

These insights would've been a just a tad handier if they'd arisen circa 2017, when getting a new Soldier of Love project approved at Dark Horse Comics (or elsewhere) would've been a whole lot easier; but hey, better late than never, right? Anyhoo, I'm about nine pages deep in story notes for a new miniseries, and will be pitching that sucker to Dark Horse (and elsewhere) within a month or two, looks like. Yay?

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 The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
