    I read i think the first couple volumes in college. I liked some of the humor and some of the themes, but I always find the “oh no I’m tied up all sexy like” sorts of jokes in comics/manga to be sorta lame. The comic has a surprisingly good supporting casts. I think the lover/boyfriend “Thugboy” was pretty good character in that there aren’t a lot of good depictions of solid and generally supportive boyfriends in comics.

    But Empowered was it’s sorta like a “One Punch Man” before there was “One Punch Man”. I think Empowered is fine. It was not for me but then again I tend not to like superhero comedies, but that’s just me. Empowered is fine-ish overall, I do really dig the artstyle. Very manga meets superhero before things like My Hero Academia or One Punch Man.
