Almost a full volume spent on reassuring us (and Emp) that not being skinny is okay. Can't say this was my favorite volume yet. I think it the same could have been accomplished in half the story space and left us some time for funny hijinks, great action, and all the other things we've come to expect from Empowered by now. There are honestly so many story threads left unfinished, including but not limited to Willy Pete, her superhero origins, Ninjette's father, etc. I would have preferred more progress toward those. And my god that Chevalier story was so heavy-handed and yet somehow vaguely hypocritical since the whole story is being told by a man in the end.



This is coming from a big fan who expects many great Empowered exploits to come.
