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.

Panel 1: Yeahp, that's a call back to the somewhat cryptic scene earlier in the book which revisited vol.11's climactic act.

Gotta love Upload Manny's parenthetical aside in panel 2, which hints at cape-universe superscientific engineering not always working entirely as anticipated when put into action. (Not quite sure how you'd properly test reality-warping emergency gear ahead of time, TBH.)
