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.

Aaaaaand we're back to reboot-y shenanigans, featuring some (very) vaguely Lovecraftian cultish fish-folk who amuse me perhaps more than they should. (Can't say that I'm similarly amused by the whimsically tossed-off symbols of their alien language, alas.)

Next week on the webcomic, stand by for clarification of Kozue's tears!
