Here's a page from EMPOWERED vol. 5, the latest installment of my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" published by Dark Horse Comics, soon to hit the shelves on June 24, 2009.

This one's from "Say That I Deserve This," the 55-page action epic that concludes the volume, wherein our heroine Emp's good intentions lead to disaster (or a whole CHAIN of disasters, really). I posted this page in particular because this may be the first true "Avengers Assemble"-type everyone-blazing-into-action group shot in all of EMPOWERED, albeit with rather goofy-looking superheroes... Particularly the wacky-looking Homunculoid, who's based on the truly freaky-looking "sensory homunculus" concept of what a human would look like if each body part grew in proportion to the area of the cerebral cortex concerned with its sensory perception. Then again, the conjoined angel/ devil twins "Divangelic" are kinda freaky, too.

Note that the "Cry Havoc" line is one of the catchphrases for serious douchecape Major Havoc, who takes his supradouchy treatment of poor Emp to whole new levels in this volume... Ah, but who might this motley supercrue be blazing into action against? Hint, for readers of the first four volumes: His initials miiiiiiight just be "W.P.", if you catch my drift.


In the meantime, you can check out "Empowered’s Top 10 Pros and Cons of Being a Fictional Comic-Book Character," a metatextual text piece wherein our heroine discusses the experience of literally being a figment of my imagination: [link]


I just wrapped up a long, snark-laden, heavily asterisked and parenthetical interview re: EMPOWERED vol. 5, which you can read here: [link]


You can also see a wee preview of the book here: [link] Note that I got the idea for the fake version of EMP's suit having high heels from a real-life EMP cosplayer: [link]

The book's front and back cover can be seen here: [link]

You can order EMPOWERED 5 online at Dark Horse's retail website at: [link] or at Amazon.com: [link] Keep in mind, though, that while Dark Horse's site has the book in stock, bookstores--including Amazon-- may not get it in stock for some time yet. (Comics retailers, including online sites like TFAW, often get EMPOWERED volumes well before the bookstores do.)

Note that both sites have links for ordering previous EMPOWERED volumes, as well; or, you can quite possibly find these volumes on the shelves of of your friendly neighborhood comics retailer or bookstore, though not at MY local Barnes & Noble, annoyingly enough... And if they don't carry the books, just ask said retailer to order 'em for you; believe me, they'd be happy to take your money.

A few things to say about this page and the chapter in general

1. It is so freaking sad that a frigging ugly ass guy with an over sized head, hands, and lips gets more respect than poor Emp.

2. This whole operation shows how inept a strategist Major Havoc is, and pisses me off to no end that he blames Emp for the botched operation. Lets see Major Douchebag, who was the f*cking idiot who decided to bring along a bunch of close range and melee fighters against a F*CKING FIRE ELEMENTAL?!

Cool group shot, though its a shame Major Havoc survived and not Captain Katanna, I'd like to have seen more of him.

That's Captain Katana, winner of "Dancin' with the Superheroes".

Divangelic is kinda awesome. Especially since she's so... different. What's the likelihood that we could beg some art of her from you? That is, assuming you aren't too busy with Vol 7 ((hint hin-- *brick'd*))

Oh I can smell what you're cooking... Capes. XD

This is where the real heroes get seperated from the assholes in capes, right?

The dude with the tubes in his head looks like a Crazy from the Rifts role playing game.

Just sayin'...

Also, ten bucks says Major Havoc lived cause he's hiding.
