• Used Book in Good Condition

After a fiery disaster claims the lives of several teammates, costumed crimefighter Empowered stumbles upon an ugly little secret of the masks-and-tights business: a growing number of ill-fated superheroes have found out the hard way that, while their <i>bodies</i> are still mortal, their <i>superpowers</i> are not... Now, only our downtrodden but doggedly determined heroine can save the (semi)living superdead from a very genuine "fate worse than death," while simultaneously grappling with the challenges of vengefully vacationing ninja clans, car-trunk carpet burn, superhero-fantasy-league drafts, excessive bedroom chatter, and deals with the devil both figurative and literal! All this, plus Emp's not-so-secret origin is revealed at last!<br><br>* Adam Warren's work on <i>The Dirty Pair</i> is well known to U.S. comics readers.<br><br>"A sort of R-rated sitcom exploring geek culture from the inside out, <i>Empowered</i> has its cake and eats it too-it's full of exploitative, titillating imagery, but it also features the healthiest and the most realistic romantic relationship in any comic book featuring capes and masks." -J. Caleb Mozzocco, <i>Las Vegas</i>
