EMPOWERED vol.8's guest artist montage

Behold, a montage piece compiling three separate pieces of guest-artist work from Empowered vol.8, the latest installment of my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics. IMPORTANT NOTE: This book will hit the shelves of your Local Comics Store on DECEMBER 11th, a week earlier earlier than originally planned. More info here: www.darkhorse.com/Books/19-253… And here's a 7-page preview excerpt: www.darkhorse.com/Books/Previe…

Alas, looks like Empowered vol.8 will take a bit longer to be stocked on the shelves of conventional bookstores, including Amazon.com. Howeva, you can order a copy online right now (which will ship out on Dec. 11th, I believe!) from Dark Horse's retail website: www.tfaw.com/Profile/Empowered… Also, a digital-only version of the volume will be available fairly shortly.

Anyhoo, three guest artists very kindly pitched in to provide the artwork above (which relates to the origin of all the Empverse characters depicted). "Divangelic" was drawn by the great , writer/artist of DramaCon and Nightschool fame:  "King Tyrant Lizard" was rendered in all his saurian splendor by my Kubert School classmate, dA's own , creator of ongoing Kickstarter-comic success story Fearless Dawn; and "Syndablokk" was provided by yet another K-School classmate, Louis Lachance, artist of the current French-language releases Les Topinambus and Ucronie(s) New Delhi: louislachance.com/ Thanks much, kind sirs and madam!

Meanwhile, here are some of my own pages from Empowered vol.8:

     

Here's the exclusive (ooh, ah!), extended version ofEmpowered vol.8'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/?…
