Wellp, as I've so often responded to this particular complaint, if you're ticked off by the free content I'm providing with these commentaries, then do us both a favor and stop reading them, okay? Moreover, my larger and more important point with these often picayune critiques and artistic quibbles is to show you readers that one's tastes and preferences as an artist and storyteller can and do shift over time, and that's generally a good thing, as far as I'm concerned.

12 gleefully if not obnoxiously spoils a far more significant series development, as you'll soon see. Yeahp, this image pretty thoroughly spoils a story matter that isn't resolved "in-volume" until (checks printed version) 25-odd pages into the book but hey, why the hell not? Could be worse, I suppose the soon-to-debut cover for March 2023's Empowered vol.
