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.

Note that I was getting really, really sick of drawing Paladin Elissa's armor by this point, so I was quite happy to revert to her familiar supersuit during panel 5.

Next week on the webcomic serialization, stand by for yet another reboot, dear readers! (I think I remember what the next one happens to be; if so, a character not seen here in a long, long time makes a brief reappearance!)
