As of today, Empowered vol.9, the latest installment of my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy*" series published by Dark Horse Comics, hits the shelves of Your Local Comics Store after the better part of two years in the making. (Well, sorta; some poor choices in outside work delayed its production considerably.) Thought I'd post a journal in case any Empowered readers still on DA wanted a place to discuss the book.
Note that, while it's on sale now in comics stores, Empowered vol.9 hits shelves of conventional bookstores (including Amazon, where the book is strangely, even alarmingly inexpensive) on September 2; the latter date is also when digital versions of the volume will become available from Dark Horse Digital and Comixology. More info on Empowered vol.9 can be found here: www.darkhorse.com/Books/25-831…
Here's the book's solicitation copy:
Already under official suspicion by her distrustful superhero peers, costumed crimefighter Empowered finds herself the bewildered target of every major supervillain in the capes-and-tights field for her supposed access to apocalyptic alien technology. With a trick or two up her tattered supersuit's sleeve, can our tirelessly plucky but sadly underestimated heroine outwit her army of tormentors—and escape the long-simmering revenge of the sinister Fleshmaster?
While I'm at it, here are links for preordering a print copy from Dark Horse's retail site: www.tfaw.com/Profile/Empowered… ...or from Amazon: www.amazon.com/Empowered-9-Ada…

See you at Baltimore Comic-Con, October 18-20!
Once again, I'm headed down to Maryland this weekend for Baltimore Comic-Con, my final convention of the year. Had a great time at the show in 2018, so a repeat visit seemed like a fine way to wrap up 2019's con season.
I'll be set up at the Hero Initiative booth (#2205) for all three days of the convention, raising some bucks for that fine charity (which helps comics creators in need) while attending to all your signing and sketching (and commissioning?) needs. I'll also bring along a fair bit of original artwork, plus some recently unearthed copies of older works, and maybe a copy or two of Empowered vol.11. Drop by and say hi if you're at
See you at Heroes Con, June 14-16!
Once again, I'll be journeying to Heroes Con in Charlotte this weekend (I do love that show), where I'll be set up at Artist Alley table AA-1817 for all your signing, sketching, commissioning and/or original-art-buying needs! (Plus I'll have a bunch of comics on sale, including a batch of recently unearthed Dirty Pair: Sim Hell and Bubblegum Crisis: Grand Mal issues.) Drop by and say hi, won't you?
Seee you at Phoenix Fan Fusion, May 23-26!
Courtesy of the fine folks at the Hero Initiative charity, I'll be flying out to attend the Phoenix Fan Fusion show this weekend. Never been to Arizona in my whole goshdarned life, so this should be a novel experience! I'll be set up at the Hero Initiative booth (#396) for all your signing and sketching needs; donations to Hero, which supports comics creators in need, would be much appreciated. If you happen to be attending, drop on by and say hi, won't you?
See you at Emerald City Comic-Con, March 14-17!
Once again, I'll be tabling in Artist Alley at the ol' Emerald City Comic-Con, March 14-17. I'll be set up at table Y-7 all convention long for all your signing, sketching, and original-art-perusing needs, along with a fair amount of Empowered backstock in case you're missing any volumes or "floppy" issues. (Might even be bringing some old Dirty Pair issues and Bubblegum Crisis: Grand Mal posters, if you're feeling nostalgic.)
Thursday, March 14, I'm on the Dark Horse panel "Artists Who Write: The Craft and Creation of Comics," from 12:15pm-1:15pm in room TCC L3-R3. Then, later in the day, I'll be signing at the Dark Horse Comics booth (#220

Since I got #9 last weekend, I've read it through 3 times and have spot-read it numerous other times. And, let me tell you, p. 218 still gets me every time I read it.
I came into this series at the very beginning for many of "Mightier Pen's" reasons. But the exposition of Emp's empathy, intelligence and bravery has pushed me way past that now. I would almost welcome a volume where she doesn't find herself in Duress Vile at any point. Given the oncoming trains of Ninjette's and Thugboy's backstories, she may find herself VERY busy WITHOUT getting herself lashed to a chair.
Keep up the good work!
