Behold, a sketch of Emp and Sistah Spooky* from
Empowered, my "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics. Per a request, they're dressed in the "smartsuits" I designed for Kei and Yuri in my miniseries
Dirty Pair: Run from the Future. Note that Spooky isn't kidding about the fact that the costume she wears in the
Empowered comics...
...is derived in part (the opera gloves, hot pants, garters and stockings) from a old variant outfit I drew for Kei and Yuri:
Anyhoo, the newest installment of
Empowered, vol. 7, is now on sale at your Local Comics Retailer Store and/or conventional bookstore, and is also available in digital form via the Dark Horse Digital Store

Anyhoo, if you've read the book and care to weigh in on the experience, feel free to leave a comment here, in a
SPOILER ALERT zone:

Say, here's
Empowered vol. 7's cover, without the logo:
And here's the book's back-cover copy:
While costumed crimefighter Empowered makes a startling discovery regarding her unfortunate status as an all-too-frequent "damsel in distress," her hard-drinking best friend Ninjette confronts her own sordid past, violent present and frighteningly uncertain future as she fights a desperate, single-handed battle against a entire clan of supernaturally durable ninja warriors. Can our two hard-luck heroines also withstand the further perils posed by supervillainous minivans, dueling sets of "daddy issues," doomed-but-still-hot boyfriends, undead karaoke party-crashers, and even "spoiler alerts from hell itself" voiced by diabolically omniscient demonspawn?In closing, I must of course paste in the requisite general-purpose
Emp-related floggery: Print copies of
Empowered's first six volumes (and a pair of 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
[link] or on Amazon.com
[link] . All the existing
Empowered books can be purchased rather more cheaply in digital form as well, via the Dark Horse Digital store:

I love your work. You're quite skilled. The faces look goofy, and I'm sure are meant to be, but that hardly detracts.
Nice seeing this Adam (and nice meeting you at ECCC 2012! Hope you liked the Half-Pops!)
