In the cyberpunk future, the Worlds Welfare Work Association is an important weapon against crime. 3WA''s best operatives, Kei and Yuri - the Lovely Angels - also have a reputation for causing catastrophe in the execution of their duties, and have earned a new nickname: the Dirty Pair.

The Dirty Pair face their greatest challenge yet when Kei confronts the awesome horror of...her employee evaluation! It looks simple: simulations are generated by the Central Computer to test her responses, but when a mysterious malfunction traps Kei in virtual reality, Yuri must enter the sim to save her from a series of increasingly night-marish scenarios. From outer space to the ocean depths to the infinity of cyberspace, can Kei and Yuri survive the simulated -- but still lethal -- terrors of the apocalyptic Nanoclysm?

The steamy cape-and-tights comedy so outrageous that the bonds of regular graphic novels could not hold the laughs within, Empowered has expanded into a tome so massive that even the superpowered can barely lift it!

After saving much of the superhero community from certain doom, costumed crime fighter Empowered is dismayed to find that, in the suspicious eyes of her caped colleagues, she''s gone from being merely a "pair of training wheels for supervillains" to possibly being a closeted supervillain herself! Worse yet, she''s wrestling with envy and resentment that her roommate Ninjette and boyfriend Thugboy are now more popular in masks-and-tights circles than she is! Meanwhile, our stressed-out superheroine must also unravel an alien-spawned body-image conspiracy, overcome "cosplay" dress-up disasters at work and in bed, and try to survive a potentially lethal confrontation with her teammate Sistah Spooky! * Empowered Vol. 1 is already in its fourth printing! * A New York Times bestseller! * Adam Warren''s work on The Dirty Pair is well known to U.S. comics readers. For mature audiences.

Not only is costumed crimefighter "Empowered" saddled with a less-than-ideal superhero name, but she wears a skintight and cruelly revealing "supersuit" that only magnifies her body-image insecurities. Worse yet, the suit''s unreliable powers are prone to failure, repeatedly leaving her in appallingly distressing situations... and giving her a shameful reputation as the lamest "cape" in the masks-and-tights business. Nonetheless, she pluckily braves the ordeals of her bottom-rung superheroic life with the help of her "thugalicious" boyfriend (and former Witless Minion) and her hard-drinking ninja girlfriend, not to mention the supervillainous advice from the caged alien demonlord watching DVDs from atop her coffee table . . .

Remove all previous notions of superhero entertainment from your puny mind... and prepare to be Empowered! * Adam Warren''s work on The Dirty Pair is well-known to U.S. comics readers. * Warren''s skill as a writer has brought him a variety of high-profile assignments in recent years from Wildstorm, DC, and Marvel.
