Cover of March 2014's EMPOWERED: INTERNAL MEDICINE

Here's the full cover art from the upcoming (March 26, 2014) one-shot Empowered: Internal Medicine, yet another installment in my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics. The issue's Special Guest Artist will be the awesome *royalboiler, who drew the bulk of this cover illustration. More info on the one-shot here: www.darkhorse.com/Comics/22-46…

Below is the portion of the cover drawn by me, featuring luscious colors provided courtesy of the mad painting skillzzzz of the likewise-great *Robaato. Thanks, Rob!



This Internal Medicine one-shot is available for preorder now from your Local Comics Store; I strongly recommend such preordering, as otherwise most comics retailers aren't likely to stock many copies of the title. (Sad, but true.) Note that you can also preorder a copy from Dark Horse's online retail site here:  www.tfaw.com/Profile/Empowered… Note further that, right now, the previous five Empowered one-shots are available in digital form as a 161-page, $8.99 bundle from the Dark Horse Digital Store here: digital.darkhorse.com/profile/…

Meanwhile, as of today, the latest full-size (208-page) volume in the series, Empowered vol.8, is now on sale. Wheeeeee!



More info on the book here: www.darkhorse.com/Books/19-253… And hey, here's the exclusive (ooh, ah!), extended version of the book's solicitation copy:

Costumed crimefighter Empowered, her week already ruined by the grueling ordeal of "Superdead Boot Camp," finds herself roped into a tragic and desperate scheme by her grief-stricken teammate Sistah Spooky. On a reckless journey from a terrifying alien arsenal to the even-more-terrifying depths of hell itself, can the bickering duo free the soul of Spooky's slain lover from eternal damnation—or have our mismatched superheroines impulsively blundered into a (quite literally) hellish trap?

In closing, I must of course paste in the requisite general-purpose Emp-related floggery: Print copies of Empowered's first seven volumes (and numerous one-shots in comics format) can be found on the shelves of your Local Comics Retailer or bookstore, or online at Dark Horse's retail website www.tfaw.com/Search?_results_u… or on Amazon.com www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos… .

All the existing Empowered books can be purchased rather more cheaply in digital form as well, via the Dark Horse Digital store: digital.darkhorse.com/search/?…
