Panel 1: Don't be looking down on button-mashing, Unnamed Cape! Then again, I myself am down on videogames that require button-mashing as, before too long, that practice invariably sets off any number of my drawing hand's many chronic though generally transient ailments. (Hence me having to bail out on attempts at playing early PS2 iterations of Devil May Cry and God of War.)

Panel 3: Scary alien arsenal is scary! (And, also, quite possibly relevant to later events in this volume.)

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. So, who knows what today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design departments, or possibly something entirely new. Golly!
