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 is often the fact with Empowered chapter titles, this issue takes its title from several neologisms and wacky turns of phrase occurring in the story's dialogue; with very few exceptions, I almost never have a chapter title in mind ahead of time.

Ehh, the untranslated Spanish on this page wasn't quite as (semi-)readable as I might've liked for English-only readers, despite the text using as many English (semi-)cognates as possible. 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.
