Can anyone give me the skinny on empowered?
Does it do anything interesting?

From what I've heard it's like Captain Marvel with a slice of cheesecake.
>>
the world it makes is great, with some really compelling character arcs.

the whole thing is slowed down immensely by huge portions of random cheesecake fluff, and by characters occasionally just talking.

Worth binge reading, but each volume moves the story forwards so slowly it can be frustrating.
>>
Most of us started reading it for the fap material, as we were genuinely surprised that the characters are really likeable and the story really interesting. You almost feel guilty for fapping to emp.

Thanks guys, I'll go binge it now.

Nigga what? Captain Marvel is like, a legit hero though. Emp has issues finding her way out of a wet paper bag, man.
>>
>>83631813
It starts off as this weird softcore bondage superhero parody and then it turns into humiliation porn where Warren sees how much he can shit on the heroine and everyone she cares about before they crack. The turning point comes in the first volume where her cute professional hecnhman boyfriend turns out to be a former domestic terrorist who targeted superheroes and he's om the run from an invincible flame elemental supervillain who's sworn to skullfuck everyone he's ever loved.

It's a pretty interesting take on a world where supers are basically TMZ level celebrities, but it isn't for everyone. It's pretty annoying when Warren hints at all this plot stuff going on that won't get followed up for the next five years while he works on the next book.

Aren't one or more of the characters coal burners?
>>
It looks like pure fap material, but it's got a great deconstruction under it.
>>
>>83632079
Emp doesn't burn coal she burns rice
>>
I wish Adam Warren made real comics again.

It's two parts cheesecake, two parts superhero parody, one part emotional instability, and one part actually serious story.

It doesn't really have anything to do with Captain Marvel other than being about superheroes.

Isn't thugboy blasian?

>>83632268

You forgot six parts terrible art and three parts bad writing.
>>
>>83632079
That's an issue why?
>>83632299
I think Asian and some German descent. or something. It's been a while since I read volume 1

?

Support the creator if you can. Adam Warren is a cool guy.
>>
>>83632299
He's the axis powers, racially speaking.
>>
>>83631813
Go for the cheesecake stay for the surpirsing heart warming stories and tear jerking moments

Half jap, one forth kraut, one forth WOP.

I wish Adam Warren drew girls who aren't horrible frog mutants again.

How anyone can think this shit looks good is beyond me.
>>
>>83631813
It noodles around for a volume or so before it settles in its style. It remains weird but most volumes are actually whodunnits and Emp is sandbagging it big time before cracking the cases.

The author is serialising it on Hiveworks and comments each page in detail, well worth a read if you want to learn more about how these things develop. A lot of coincidences condense later on into proper plots.

Recommended.

>>83633147
yeah it's a shame because he draws fantastic figures. Especially Ninjette
>>
I give it points for not going the lesbian route like Spinerette.
>>
It's pretty decent. Maid Man steals the show every time he appears.

Also, Emp being a fujo is hilarious.

Spinnerette is what happens when Tumblr tries to copy Adam Warren's works and misses their point entirely.

>>83633214

Mah Ninja.
>>
Make it through the first few volumes, and then it gets good. I'll admit i grabbed it as prospective fap material, which incidentally it was no good for, but i stayed on because hidden under the gratuitous fan service were some intriguing plot hooks.
>>
>>83633265

We need more of him. On a related note i loved his side comic, you know, the one with the interview.
