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.

At left: This time around, for once I decided not to partially obscure Emp's chest with her hair as was often the case before, resulting in an especially, ah, striking image. Note that the aforementioned common practice arguably implies that she might have been self-consciously raking her hair into place to give herself some coverage, though I don't believe I ever directly depicted such a gesture, which would've been worth considering. (Oh, well.)
