It says something about EMPOWERED that not only couldn't I find this series at Barnes & Noble, but my local comics shop couldn't even order the latest volume for me. "It's a niche book," said a friend who works there. "People don't buy it unless they've been reading it from the very beginning." So Adam Warren is in the unenviable position of having created the most remarkable superhero comic that no one's reading.
It's almost impossible to discuss individual volumes in this series without spoilers, so let's just say that after the first year and a half of Emp's checkered career as a superhero (volumes 1 through 9, arguably one massive story arc), volume 10 shows us how much (and how little) our core cast members have matured under fire. That's one of the many paradoxes that EMPOWERED is built on: it's a superhero comedy with frequent detours into gut-wrenching horror; it stars a bondage-magnet heroine who delivers the sharpest feminist critiques of superhero genre tropes in all of comics; it's a showcase for exquisitely rendered black and white artwork that's equal parts manga and Alex Toth; it's adult, but not adults-only. It's the series I didn't know I was waiting for.
