Ah, yes, behold the thrill of "brain buddy" Mindf**k deployed in "Captain Exposition" mode to serve as anti-nitpicking defense! TBH, much of Hannah's "page time" was used up in clarifying what the hell is going on and explaining how that would've come to pass; I did, in fact, consider going much more oblique and allusional with this volume's events, but elected to take this more helpfully expository approach, for good or ill.

Tomorrow, stand by for an abrupt but thematically relevant scene change!

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.
