We continue serialization of Empowered vol. 12, which proved to be the final volume of the series in this specific graphic-novel format, though I was unaware of that unfortunate reality when I started work on the book.

Ehh, that's probably if not definitely a bit too much realism in my depiction of Emp's lips and teeth, based of course on the years of life drawing that immediately preceded this volume. Worry not, though, as I eventually lowered the level of semi-realistic rendering as the book rolled along. 

Next week on the webcomic serialization, brace yourself for a startling change of pace as well as a rather abrupt addressing of a continuity issue that had plagued the series ever since the ending of vol. 11!
