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 finds herself the desperate prey of a maniacal supervillain whose godlike powers have turned an entire city of suprahumans against her. Outnumbered and under siege, aided only by a hero's ghost, can Emp survive the relentless onslaught long enough to free her enslaved teammates and loved ones? ''One of the most thoughtful takes on superheroes you'll find.''—Hitfix
I never thought I'd be this invested in the silly little bondage comic. That's how i was introduced to it. I also thought that this would've been the last volume, since it's where GC ends off. Anyway, Rivet's the best character imo now. Now I'm really excited for where the story goes from here, especially since Emp is definitely the strongest hero now.
