Panel 4: Uh, I'm going to give Manny the benefit of the doubt that he knew Rokk Kandee's crystals would reassemble before his mecha frame blew her to bits; his dialogue arguably implies that assumption, though he might well have just figured that out from seeing her body piecing it together.

Ehh, not much else springs to mind as I look at this old page, folks; then again, I'm a tad distracted by a weather app that just informed me that my area's gonna get hit with 6 g-d inches of g-d snow tomorrow night. (Ah, that wonderful New England weather.)

Today’s Patreon update: In an attempt to scratch 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, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
