Description The immortal Caged Demonwolf sings his own uniquely and ostentatiously verbose version of Six Mixalot's likewise immortal tune "Baby Got Back" in a page from the upcoming Empowered vol. 7, the latest installment of my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics. The book's slated to hit the shelves of your Local Comics Store on May 30th, and arrive in conventional bookstores some time after that. More info here: [link]

Looking back, I prolly shouldn't have gone quite so far into the song, and should've cut things off at "RAGING INFERNO OF DIREST AROUSAL"... but, well, I didn't. (Why, the Blazing-Eyed Devilgoat DEMANDED that he translate more of Good Sir Mixalot's deathless rhymes!) Anyhoo, worry not, Demonwolf haters; this is far and away his longest single soliloquy in the book. (In fact, his primary scene in Empowered vol. 7 shows a very, very different side of the All-Knowing Archfiend.)

Say, here's the book's cover, complete with a color version of the Demonwolf:



And here's Empowered vol. 7's solicitation 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]

You know it's even funnier if you imagine that CD is being voiced by BRIAN BLESSED.

This made my day. Relatively.

The bit about this being the Satyric Starspawn's longest rant in the whole book unmade it. Completely.

(Not that this should be surprising) It's obvious the Caged Demonwolf has still got it.
