EMPOWERED TP VOL 06

EMPOWERED VOLUME 6 Adam Warren (W/A) On sale Sept 8 b&w, 208 pages $15.99 TPB, 6 1/2' x 9' 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 bodies are still mortal, their superpowers 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! o Adam Warren's work on The Dirty Pair is well known to U.S. comics readers. 'A sort of R-rated sitcom exploring geek culture from the inside out, Empowered 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, Las Vegas Weekly
