review 1: This series is more than it appears to be, more in fact than it purports to be. It presents itself on face value as an exploitative, borderline misogynistic effort and that may be its conception. It is however in fact anything but, its hilarious for starters, the characters are engaging, the overall story is multi layered and the stories in each book are well written.The art work is in pencils and its the best example of pencil work I've seen.
review 2: The bit I like most? The totally blase reaction the media has to the deaths of several superheroes. It's not just that they're not surprised. No, they have a betting pool on which supervillains are going to do the most damage. It's entertainment for the media, and it's gruesome in a way that tells you how l... moreittle superheroes are thought of once they're gone. Superheroes are in it for the ego, or for the pure exercise of power, or simply to get laid. The world praises them, flatters them, and then dumps them when they're done. And then there's the Superdead. The accepters of gifts. They may not be damned exactly (although many of them took exactly that deal) but they're heroes who are still realizing what sort of gift they received. It's a cold world. Empowered and her friends stand out in this crowd not because they're powerful, but because they still have the power to care about people who "don't matter" and each other. It's an odd lesson to learn in between the bondage and the burlesque, but this series has a way of surprising every time. less
