Description
Behold, the second and third story pages from Empowered vol. 6, the latest book in my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics. The volume opens with a riff about the Empverse's version of a certain well-known TV show, hosted by the indefatigable "Makro", a character I first showed on dA here:

Note that Makro's nature was quickly sussed out by commenters on that piece of artwork, despite my earnest attempts to be vague and evasive about her role in the book... Oh, well. Note also the first appearance of a big ingot of "Impregnium X", a material which will become a bit of a plot point down the line (well, maybe way down the line, to be honest).

Anyhoo, Empowered vol. 6 should be on the shelves of your Local Comics Retailer by now, and on the shelves of your local bookstore shortly. (Well, maybe not the latter, as bookstores in my neck of the woods, at least, seem none too keen on stocking the title.) The book can also be ordered online at Dark Horse's retail website [link] or on Amazon.com [link] . Note that links for ordering the previous five books (and the "floppy" comics-format one-shot, "The Wench with a Million Sighs,") can also be found at those sites... Hint, hint.

Here's the book's back-cover copy (located next to Makro's color image):

After a fiery disaster claims the lives of several teammates, costumed crimefighter “Empowered” stumbles upon an ugly little secret of the masks-and-tights business: a growing number of ill-fated superheroes have found out the hard way that, while their bodies are still mortal, their superpowers are not... Now, only our downtrodden but doggedly determined heroine can rescue the (semi-)living superdead from a quite genuine “fate worse than death,” while simultaneously grappling with the challenges of phallospear harassment, car-trunk carpetburn, superhero fantasy leagues, excessive bedroom chatter, and deals with the devil both figurative and literal! All this, plus Empowered’s not-so-secret origin is revealed at last!

And here's the volume's title page:
