Behold, page 4 (of 4) from a "Ninjette answers your questions" comics feature* I cranked out in a desperate and quite possibly misguided attempt to promote the release of Empowered vol. 7, the latest installment of my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics.

Empowered vol. 7 is now on sale at your Local Comics Store, and should arrive in conventional bookstores some time shortly. More info here: [link]



Anyhoo, if you've read the book and care to weigh in on the experience, feel free to leave a comment here, in a SPOILER ALERT zone: [link]

And now, the floggery: Empowered vol. 7 can be found at your Local Comics Retailer (or bookstore, possibly), or online at Dark Horse's retail website [link] or on Amazon.com [link] .

Say, here's Empowered vol. 7's cover, without the logo:



And here's the book's back-cover copy:

While costumed crimefighter Empowered makes a startling discovery regarding her unfortunate status as an all-too-frequent "damsel in distress," her hard-drinking best friend Ninjette confronts her own sordid past, violent present and frighteningly uncertain future as she fights a desperate, single-handed battle against a entire clan of supernaturally durable ninja warriors. Can our two hard-luck heroines also withstand the further perils posed by supervillainous minivans, dueling sets of "daddy issues," doomed-but-still-hot boyfriends, undead karaoke party-crashers, and even "spoiler alerts from hell itself" voiced by diabolically omniscient demonspawn?

In closing, I must of course paste in the requisite general-purpose Emp-related floggery: Print copies of Empowered's first six volumes (and a pair of one-shots in comics format) can be found on the shelves of your Local Comics Retailer or bookstore, or online at Dark Horse's retail website [link] or on Amazon.com [link] . All the existing Empowered books can be purchased rather more cheaply in digital form as well, via the Dark Horse Digital store: [link]

Funny thing: when I was reading volume 3 for the first time, right on page 185--as it so happens, the very scene whence we first learn she's from Jersey--I remember thinking to my self...

...y'know, in that one panel--that's a very "Snooki" expression on 'Jette's face.

Swear to god, I don't even like Jersey Shore.

The only question I could think to ask after finally reading volume seven is this. 'Jette, what'll it take for you to handle your clan business? You some sort of chump? Wuss? You can't keep acting like your dad's rivals and enemies like your spine slipped clean past your butt crack forever. There's only one person who would have a chance of stopping that drunken ninjitsu murder machine, and lord help me, it's you. Sorry to say this though, I don't think you'll ever have the stones for it, drunk OR sober.

rudeboy308 [2012-06-08 21:10:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh SNAP! Literally!

Love the eye close-up just before the B/W demonic take. It would be a satisfying spectacle to see 'Jette slice and dice the entire cast. When GWAR came to my town, their celebrity slaughter victim was none other than a pregnant Snooki (I think it was for the song "Crack in the Egg"). The difference between GWAR's slaughter and one from 'Jette would be that you'd know that the blood would be REAL at 'Jette's hands. Such sweet artwork for a flip-out piece.
