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.

And lo, with panel 1 we've returned to Ocelotina's interview show(?), first seen in Empowered vol. 5's story "The Powaaaah of the Duct Side." Not exactly a SPOILER to hint that this version of Emp need not fear getting duct-taped by Ocelotina as OG Emp experienced in that vol.5 episode; quite the contrary, in fact, as you'll soon see.
