From Adam Warren 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. • For mature readers.

Empowered returns for further misadventures, as the distress-prone girl wonder struggles with life on the superheroic C list! Clad—or unclad, as fate would too often have it—in her embarrassingly revealing and maddeningly unreliable supersuit, she fights a never-ending battle against overly sensitive supervillains, irrationally envious superheroines, and her own body-image issues! Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Thugboy, plays with fire when he foolhardily attempts to compliment his profoundly insecure sweetheart on the awe-inspiring power of her...well, booty. And her often-inebriated gal pal, Ninjette, pursues a drunken and ultimately disastrous mission to acquire Empowered some respect—by force if necessary! • For mature readers.
