Description
Next part: [link]Behold, part 1 (of 3) of "Time's Arrow, Flying Differently," the preview-ish story that opens Empowered vol. 7, the latest installment of my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics. As befits a volume with an slightly unusual storytelling approach, each panel in "Time's Arrow" refers to a different scene in the book, in effect giving the reader a quick preview of the varied assortment of wacky (or not so wacky) shenanigans that take place during the volume's 224 pages. Moreover, as title page hints, the fractured chronology of the story's panels might just reflect the alien perspective of a certain Blazing-Eyed Devilgoat...
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]

After I read this page all I could think of is, "I KNOW he's seen the Doctor Who Episode "Blink", where the Doctor describes time as a big ball of "Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey...STUFF!"

'Deflowered and Dispassionate'.... Possibly my favorite moment in the entire story thus far. It's in the top 5 at least.

I agree, it was both somber and uplifting. Very, very well written and was my favorite chapter in the whole series. I really hope that there is more like this to come.

Now I'm just waiting for the Unleashed Demon-wolf Vs. Willy-Pete climactic fight scene.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Actually, thanks to the twisted timeline structure of the comments, you're actually fifty-second.
