Sexy? Immeasurably! Superheroes? Countless! Comedy? Nigh infinite! Adam Warren's Empowered takes the staid tropes of modern capes-and-tights fare and pummels them into ''a fantastically rendered book on every conceivable level'' (Comic Book Resources). And face-crackingly funny though it be, Empowered also delivers ''genuinely affecting emotion'' (Library Journal). You can at long last have your cake and eat it, too!
