Empowered Vol. 1 - 11 + Unchained Vol. 1

Empowered Vol. 1 – 11 + Unchained Vol. 1 (2007-2019) : Empowered is an original English-language manga style comic written and illustrated by Adam Warren. Described by Warren as a “sexy superhero comedy”, Empowered began to take shape in 2004 with a series of commissioned sketches of a damsel in distress; these illustrations became the basis for short comic stories that helped develop the characters for the Empowered series.

Warren says that Empowered is “nominally a superhero title, yet it’s drawn by a clearly manga-influenced artist”. The pages are greyscale reproductions of pencil “layouts”, and they are neither inked nor toned (as in the screentones common in manga).
