Of course, it's side-achingly funny. Sure, it's eye-lovingly illustrated. But is it just possibly the best send-up of superheroes yet created? In a word . . . duh ! Adam Warren's Empowered rattles the capes-and-tights cage in a manner well-deserved for said enclosure, but That's Not All, true believer. There is genuinely affecting emotion (Library Journal ). And it's for real, live adults (MTV Geek News ). In fact, Empowered is a fantastically rendered book on every conceivable level (Comic Book Resources ). Don't be a coward, get Empowered ! Collects Empowered volumes 1, 2, and 3.
Costumed crimefighter Empowered, delighted by her long-delayed promotion to full-time membership in the Superhomeys, enjoys a suprasocial-media victory lap. But will her newfound satisfaction survive the challenges of obnoxious white knights, disturbing cryoprison visits, alarming alien medical scans and—worst of all—the revelation of a lover's dark secret? Over 250,000 copies sold of Empowered volumes! Adam Warren continues to beat the odds and persists in getting better and better with his spicy superhero romp.—Johnny Bacardi, Popdose.com FOR MATURE READERS
First: Rivet has been climbing up the ranks of my favorite characters. From the beginning, he didn't participate in the bullying against Emp, but he didn't do anything about it. It's been cool seeing him start to really stand up for her and then fully support her.
Second: What the heII was that ending? Whether that wasn't the real Thugboy or if he was being mind-controlled, this is definitely gonna hurt their relationship.
