Empowered TP VOL 01 (New Ptg)(Mr)

(W/A/CA) Adam Warren. From Adam Warren (writer/artist of the English-language The Dirty Pair comics, 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 lowbrow laughs. Remove all previous notions of superhero entertainment from your puny mind...and prepare to be empowered! Not only is costumed crime fighter Empowered saddled with a less-than-ideal superhero name, but she also 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. 'One of the most laugh-out-loud-funny works I've read in years.'-Rob Vollmar, Comics Worth Reading 'Stellar art, great character work, a sense of humor-Empowered has it all.'-Newsarama 'Empowered is Adam Warren's best work yet-it's naughty but sweet, and REALLY funny, and the characters are just immensely appealing and likeable. Terrific, terrific stuff.'-Bruce Timm, producer of Batman: The Animated Series Warren's skill as a writer has brought him a variety of high-profile assignments from WildStorm, DC, and Marvel.
