Y’know, I really quite like these “flash-forward” panels from later on in the book. Might have to revisit this approach in a future volume!

Panel 1: The “toothsome rumps” (per the Caged Demonwolf) in question are, I think, easily recognizable.

Panel 3: You miiiiiight remember the term “kludge mind” from the end of Empowered vol.5.

Panel 4: This panel’s image takes quite a while to pay off, but I can assure you that this "micro-scene" turns out to be a surprisingly relevant plot point.

Panel 5: Not looking good for Ninjette!

Today’s Patreon update: As it’s a Wednesday, time for the $5+ Patron tiers to get their weekly dose of commissioned damsel-in-distress content! This time around, we’re (probably) serializing a story fragment featuring a familiar lass imperiled by the goofy yet numerous Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon.
