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.

In retrospect, I probably should've switched to a shorter serialized format very early on in the series, possibly even to a "floppy" issue-based format of long miniseries eventually collected into volumes; then again, I always found the quite peculiar Empowered format of 6.5" X 9"  (due to my notably "squat" letter-sized original artwork) highly unsatisfying as 32-page "pamphlets" (as opposed to the nice, thick TPBs) whenever I did one-shots, whether with my own artwork or that of Guest Artists.
