EMPOWERED SPECIAL (2011)

"Adam Warren (W/A) and Emily Warren (A/C) The badass, broom-swinging vigilante Maidman, the 'cross-dressing crusader,' is interviewed by the super-phony 'celebricape' TV host of an ill-fated talk show. The confab soon degenerates from happy chatter to cape-on-cape violence! Meanwhile, costumed crimefighter Empowered exploits Maidman's fearsome reputation not only to victimize hapless supervillains, but also to get the upper hand on her recalcitrant boyfriend! In a new one-shot spinning off from the sexy superhero comedy graphic-novel series Empowered, creator Adam Warren draws fourteen black-and-white pages that frame and cruelly interrupt a fifteen-page story painted in glorious full color by special guest artist Emily 'No Relation' Warren! "

"Costumed crime fighter Empowered makes an ill-fated visit to a top-secret dumping ground for ultratech 'superdebris' and wrecked 'villainware' left over from cape-on-cape battle. Can Emp and her hapless teammate, Mechanismo, avoid annihilation when the junkyard nano spawns an apocalyptic cheesecake plague of flirty but lethal 'cyberangels' and sensual but savage 'devil mecha'?"

"TERRORPIN! POWERPACHYDERM! BRASS MONKEY! CYBERIAN TIGER! SUPERCOBRA! MAUL BUNNY! Can struggling superheroine Empowered foil a mass carjacking by these animal-armored crimebots at the 21st annual Alternate Timeline Superhero Auto Show? Can one exceedingly flimsy 'supersuit' overcome fourteen hostile tons of heavy metal? This action-packed new Empowered one-shot says: 'MAYBE!'"

"Kick back and have a cold one with hearty-partying Ninjette, Empowered's Best Friend Forever, as she weaves a boozy yet poignant tale of ninja magic, complete with fighting, flirting, and swing-dancing with the Maidman-not to mention the outwitting of 'Jette's monstrous thug of a father. Drink up!"

"At the Purple Paladin Memorial Hospital's terrifying Suprahuman Treatment Wing, Dr. Big McLarge Huge recruits costumed crimefighter Empowered and her best friend Ninjette to save a five-mile-wide alien mothership's parasite-infested babyship-if, that is, our heroines can even survive the elevator ride up to the operating room! • Story (and bonus art) by Adam Warren, illustrated by rising star Brandon Graham (Prophet, King City, Multiple Warheads) • 30 story pages! • Over 100,000 Empowered graphic novels in print. 'Empowered stands as one of the great modern superhero comics.' -View From The Gutters"

"The laser blasts fly as costumed crime fighter Empowered battles a series of puzzlingly rage-fueled supervillains, each one armed with a bigger and more destructive 'supergun' than the last. Ah, but might our long-suffering heroine's own buried resentments and repressed bitterness prove to be her deadliest foes? (SPOILER: Yes, pretty much.)"
