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.
SUPERVILLAIN MAGNET! Already under suspicion and suspended from her superteam, costumed crime fighter Empowered finds herself the bewildered target of every major supervillain in the cape-and-tights field for her supposed access to alien technology. Underestimated as she is, can our long-suffering but plucky heroine outwit her tormentors—and escape the sinister Fleshmaster's revenge? The short and skinny is that this is a book that is silly and fun on the surface, but has a lot more working for it underneath.—Florida Geek Scene
