We continue serialization of the 2015 one-shot Empowered: Pew Pew Pew!, written and drawn by yours truly.

Panel 1: Oddly enough, my depiction of that arcing set of motion lines trailing Emp at the top of the panel really bugs me now. (Oh, well.)

Also, gotta say that a cannon like this seems like not quite the best option against an aerial target like Emp. I believe that I might have considered having the weapon ultra-techily morph into a rapid-fire form to suit the incoming threat, but probably didn't feel like I had enough pagecount left to set up that techy riff.

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.
