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!
