☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fifth volume of Adam Warren's Empowered series continues the adventures of the titular superheroine, who struggles with low self-esteem and a malfunctioning supersuit. Collecting issues from the ongoing Dark Horse series, the book delves deeper into Empowered's personal and professional challenges, blending humor, action, and mature themes.
In "Reducing the Uppity," Adam Warren delivers another sharp, character-driven chapter of Empowered as the Super-Homeys grill the aftermath of the Caped Justice Award Ceremony. With Major Havoc attempting to deflect blame from dWARf onto Empowered, tensions rise—while behind the scenes, The Caged Demonwolf and Elissa’s costume trade whispers about her most private moments. Art and story by Adam Warren, with his distinctive style on full display, both inside and on the cover.
In "Reducing the Uppity," Empowered and Mindf**k find themselves unexpectedly testing the limits of Elissa’s super-suit during a routine training exercise aboard the Joint Super-Team Space Station 3—uncovering abilities neither expected, and none of them quite ready for.
In "Denial at Flood Stage," Jo faces scrutiny after the chaotic Caped Justice Award Ceremony, as Major Havoc attempts to deflect blame from dWARf onto her. Meanwhile, the Caged Demonwolf and Elissa trade sharp, revealing remarks about her private life, turning the spotlight inward.
In "When Titans Fornicate," Elissa, as "The Sexy Librarian," shares a charged moment with Thugboy, whose alter ego is "Spartan 3000," while The Caged Demonwolf subtly works to deepen Kozue's growing fascination with him.
In "Outrageouslah Erroneous," Anglerfish targets a group of Super-Homey cos-players—among them Elissa—during her day job, using them as bait to lure the real Super-Homeys into a trap set for Willy Pete. The story unfolds with tense, high-stakes hijinks as the line between fandom and heroism blurs in a scenario that’s equal parts absurd and dangerously real.
In "Say That I Deserve This," Willy Pete sets a deadly trap for the Super-Homeys, eliminating their advance team to seize control of the transport tube leading to Joint Super-Team Space Station 3. The story unfolds with tense precision, building toward a high-stakes confrontation with no clear outcome in sight.
