  <default_description>Not Only Is Costumed Crimefighter &quot;Empowered&quot; saddled with a less-than-ideal superhero name, but she wears a skintight and cruelly revealing &quot;supersuit&quot; that only magnifies her body-image insecurities. Worse yet, the suit's unreliable powers are prone to failure, repeatedly leaving her in appalingly distressing situations... and giving her a shameful reputation as the lamest &quot;cape&quot; in the masks-and-tights business. Nonetheless, she pluckily braves the ordeals of her bottom-rung superheroic life with the help of her &quot;thugalicious&quot; boyfriend (and formerly Witless Minion) and her hard-drinking ninja girlfriend, not to mention the supervillainou advice from the caged alien demonlord watching DVDs from atop her coffee table...

From Adam Warren - writer/artist of the English-language Dirty Pair comics (the original &quot;Original English-Language Manga,&quot; before OEL was cool), and writer of Livewires, Gen13, and Iron Man: Hypervelocity - comes Empowered, a butt-kicking, bootylicious superhero lampoon that raidses the bar for long-john lust and low-brow laughs. Remove all previous notions of superhero entertainment from your puny mind... and prepare to be Empowered.</default_description>

Except when it rips, then it doesn't do much at all.

    <body><![CDATA[I loved Warren's work on The Dirty Pair.  Empowered is something like a sketchbook series based on some characters of his own.  The drawings are loose and black and white and filled with motion.  Warren explores a more fleshy, pin-up style than he did in The Dirty Pair.  Though he still has a lot of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23528269">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's moderately embarrassing to admit to liking this one, but Warren almost manages to make a series about a superheroine whose supersuit is frequently destroyed, leaving her vulnerable to bondage and fanservice, wholesome.  In a very weird way.  That three of the Superhomeys got their powers from S...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25015978">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was a little dubious - this is still about yet another scantily-clad, well-endowed superheroine, however much it's attempting to send up the genre. It took me a little while to engage with Emp, but once I did, I really liked it. I think the Demon Lord is definitely a turning point in the humour st...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10404270">more...</a>]]></body>
