The delay in EMP 4 shipping (from its original release date in September) might've thrown off some people... Throughout the "comics blogosphere", I've noticed considerably fewer mentions of its release than with previous volumes, even from sites that positively reviewed said earlier volumes.

Unfortunately, since this is the first volume to feature a single story arc throughout the entire book (well, more or less), I can’t utilize any of the tricks I deployed in EMP vol. 3 to get ahead on the schedule, such as commissioning yaoi doujinshi pages from other (better) artists or “repurposing” preexisting stories (as with vol. 3’s “Mysterious Dumbass” ).

If they don't carry the book, just ask said retailer to order it for you; I have to do this all the time with me local Barnes & Noble.   Believe me, they'd be happy to take your money.

Alas, this story proved horrifically time-consuming, as I drew it "full-size" (roughly 10" X 13.5") and with rather more detail than the EMPOWERED norm... and this wound up lopping a few weeks off the schedule for finishing EMPOWERED vol. 3, sad to say.

The piece mainly deals with EMPOWERED, of course, but also covers a bunch of my defunct pitches from the "Failed Project Friday" feature I used to do on DeviantART, back in the halcyon days of yore.
