Empowered volumes 5 & 6 by Adam Warren

Why yes we're covering Empowered again. Why? Because its one of the best damned capes comics available. Its got sexiness and action and humor and pathos and sexiness and thrills and ninjas!

These latest two volumes mainly deal with returning super-villains. The nightmare fuel inducing pyro Wiley Pete in volume five. And the undead enslaving Deathmonger in volume six. Volume five also has one of the more soul-crushingly sad endings I've come across in awhile. In addition to the regular quotient of damsel in distress-ness humor and super-"hero" douchery, has an extra helping of the God-Damned Maid-Man being extra bad-ass. AND a somewhat new twist on the zombie cape concept...
