And now, as you might guess from this title page, we return to a more conventional timeframe picking up after the end of Empowered vol. 6. That said, this chapter does indeed still jump around a fair bit in time, as does damn near every story in vol. 7, which takes a relatively daring approach to narrative timeframes.

Gotta love how the Goddman Maidman's characteristic "flippy bangs" have lost most of their flippiness after vol. 6's climactic ordeal, yet the disheveled locks still valiantly aspire to upturning themselves.

Today’s Patreon update: Probably another dose of Vintage Con Sketches, from the late-90s/early-2000s era when I was cranking out a ton of ’em.
