Written and art by Adam Warren
Not only is costumed crimefighter ³Empowered² saddled with a less-than-ideal superhero name, but she wears a skintight and cruelly revealing ³supersuit² 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 . . . 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! For those of you who don't know, Adam Warren is the Greatest Unrecognized Genius in the comics business. He wrote the simply ingenious last 17 issues of the first Gen 13 series as well as the newer Dirty Pair comics. His style is a combination of the Intelligence of an Alan Moore and the light-hearted fun and comic genius of an Eric Powell. I will definitely be reserving mine today! -RC |
