Editorial Review:
Product Description:
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!

- Sweetly Funny And Smart in Surprising WaysAdam Warren's comic "Empowered" is gathered together in this generous first volume of what I hope is a long series in graphic novel form. Warren tells the story of Empowered, his endearing costumed super heroine. If, while playing Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs) steely little Sarah Michelle Gellar made you know she would always triumph, then conversely Emp bumbles through her adventures. She could be played in a movie version by Sarah Chalke, the sexy but painfully insecure ... Read More

- Fun styleI really enjoyed this book. It gave me more than a few laughs as well as some interesting vocabulary. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the humor side of crime fighting comics. That being said it seems the most serious plots are the relationship between Thugboy and Emp. Not very deep, but very fun. And of course the art is truly inspiring. I don't think anyone can create a more promiscuous playful look on a chick than Warren. Very sexy indeed...

- Hilarious Superhero Romp for AdultsThere're just so many 'Adams' in comics today - Adam Kubert, Adam Hughes, Adam Strange, Adam Antium (sorry...couldn't resist), but surely among the best of them must be numbered Adam Warren, he of the manga-esque art and audaciously worldly sense of humor. I first became aware of him through his Dirty Pair work, and then through his clever writing on Gen 13 (collected in Gen 13: Superhuman Like You (Gen 13) and Gen 13: Meanwhile. So, thus armed, when this little book popped up in my recommendations, ... Read More

- Super-satire, eye-candy with introspective, intelligent writing"Empowered" is the name which a fledgling superheroine has chosen for herself. Her real name is not specifically given, although it may be a variant of "Ashley", as suggested on one episode. She is a twenty-something, beautiful, blonde, and very insecure about how others perceive her.
She has superpowers, not inborn and not inherent, but only as a result of her costume, a high-tech hypermembrane which can stop bullets, give her super-strength, and the ability to cast energy blasts, but which ... Read More

- Warren's Latest DeliversI used to be a big fan of Adam Warren's work, but hadn't picked up a comic book in years. A friend brought this little gem to my attention and I'm now looking forward to more in the series.
This first volume has a nice, sketchbook quality with very tight pencils that have opted to skip the ink brush. The story moves at a nice clip once it finds focus, the characters are enjoyable, and the Kirby-esque cosmic entity steals every scene he's in. The only downside to this collection, in my opinion, ... Read More
