Synopses & Reviews
Not only is costumed crimefighter "Empowered" saddled with a
less-than-ideal superhero name, but she wears a skintight and cruelly
revealing "supersuit" that only magnifies her body-image insecurities.
Worse yet, the suit's unreliable powers are prone to failure,
repeatedly leaving her in appallingly distressing situations...and
giving her a shameful reputation as the lamest "cape" in the
masks-and-tights business. Nonetheless, she pluckily braves the ordeals
of her bottom-rung superheroic life with the help of her "thugalicious"
boyfriend (and former Witless Minion) and her hard-drinking ninja
girlfriend, not to mention the supervillainous advice from the caged
alien demonlord watching DVDs from atop her coffee table...
From Adam Warren-writer/artist of the English-language Dirty Pair comics (the original "Original English-Language Manga" before OEL was cool), and writer of Livewires, Gen13, and Iron Man: Hypervelocity comes Empowered,
a butt-kicking, bootylicious superhero lampoon that raises the bar for
long-john lust and low-brow laughs. Remove all previous notions of
superhero entertainment from your puny mind...and prepare to be Empowered!
