review 1: All right, I'm an addict. I can't stop reading these books. I already ordered #5. Damn you Amazon Prime 2 day shipping.This one introduces Empowered's version of the Batman. He's called Maidman. He dresses up as a cleaning maid. A sexy cleaning maid. Have I mentioned that Empowered is absolutely shameless about pointing out that Superheroes, if they existed, would be viewed much like furries? No-one would ever believe you weren't wearing a leather outfit and mask unless you were getting off on it. And in Empowered... they do. Urgh. Yeah, comics today take the subject implicitly, but in Empowered, it's the premise.The interesting thing about Empowered is that as much as it makes fun of superheroes, it rarely makes fun of the main characters. Especially when they... more have issues. Thugboy's very conscious balancing act when it comes to Ninjette (he's in love with EMP, but can't help but react when Ninjette sits on his lap) is one of the interesting little dynamics that you really wouldn't see many other places -- you could do it in TV or in a novel, perhaps, but the multiple levels of external and internal dialog and facial expressions in a single frame is honestly something you could only really do in comics, and it's actually done tastefully and respectfully.Oh, and Empowered's "make a wish" gift to the child with cancer was beautiful. His respect and admiration for her and her growing appreciation for him was completely not where I thought that story would go.
review 2: S'il doit y avoir un volume du changement, c'est celui là, puisqu'Emp n'y est attaché que la moitié du livre ! L'histoire en dehors de la série comique continue de se développer et capte maintenant plus l'attention que le côté humoristique et sexy de la série. Toujours bien foutu, de mieux en mieux ficelé, Empowered se lit vite, très vite, et vous laisse simplement l'envie de lire la suite. Même si ça n'est pas tellement dur, le meilleur bouquin d'Adam Warren jusque là. less
