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

Panel 4: The term "up-armor," source of this fella's supranym, might be a tad less relevant nowadays than it was circa the Irag War in 2006 or so, when Humvees were getting increasingly weighty armor packages bolted on in response to IED exposure. Then again, when I looked up the term online, I found that "up-armor" certainly lives on in the names of many, many commercial products of a protective nature. Yay? 

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.
