We continue serialization of the collected edition of the six-issue 2018 miniseries Empowered and Sistah Spooky’s High School Hell, written and laid out by me and featuring art and lettering by Guest Artist Carla “Speed” McNeil and coloring by Jenn Manley Lee.
Panel 2: Queen Bee Ashley's alarming "Absolute Solipsism Field" is, of course, an oblique reference to the "Absolute Terror Field" from Neon Genesis Evangelion; within this hellscape context, her power level isn't all that far off from Eva's ATF.
Panels 4-6: A rather gnarly "kill scene" for this character, gotta say. Interestingly enough, much of the violence and gore depicted by Carla in this series seems, to me at least, rather more visceral and disturbing than similar imagery I depict(ed) in Empowered proper.
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. 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, such as updates on fantasy test projects The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!-Adam Warren
