A few words about the current status of EMPOWERED, the Dark Horse-published sexy superhero comedy comic of mine thats been dominating my DA gallery of late...
First up, and most importantly, I thought Id address a question thats come up in the comments a fair bit... Heres how to snag yoself a copy of EMPOWERED vol.1, if you cant find it at your local comics retailer or bookstore (though you could, of course, ask your local comics retailer or bookstore to order it for you):
From the DarkHorse.com page for EMPOWERED (where, BTW, you can see a 14-page preview and download an EMPOWERED desktop image)...

...you can click on the buy this product now link to go to Things From Another World, DHs online shop:

...et voila, you can order up your very own copy. (Note that you can preorder EMPOWERED vol. 2, as well...) Alternatively, you can go to Amazon.com and order EMP 1 there, where the book is ranked a sizzlin hot #22,244 (ouch):

If you really enjoyed the book, I might humbly suggest that you consider posting a review at TFAW.com or Amazon.com, if youre into posting reviews at all. If not, no biggie; thanks much for buying the book, period. Additional mucho thanks to the many Deviants who have posted kind words about EMP in the comments, here; whilst I was hacking and flailing away at the last clumps of new stories, chapter breaks, revisions and relettered pages to finish off EMPOWERED vol. 2, your positive feedback on EMP 1 was keenly appreciated, buoying me up considerably during the final few grinding weeks of work.
As it turns out, EMPOWERED vol. 1 has just gone back to press for a second printing, which is pretty good for a $15 shrink-wrapped book thats been out less than four months. Side note: Damn, but we came so very close to not shrink-wrapping the book... I even removed a few incriminating spit-strings from certain panels, in a failed attempt to avoid the Dread Wrap. Oh, well.
A non-EMP-related side note: Due to my hotel arrangements falling through, Ive had to cancel my usual trip to the San Diego Comic-Con at the end of the month. Ive received a few kind offers to sponge off of other folks hotel rooms, but Ive already made other plans for the week of the con... More specifically, with no mainstream work on tap at the present, Ive made other plans for the $1500+ expenditure that the SDCC trip usually racks up! Its possible that I might be hitting a wider array of conventions in the next year or two, now that I (sorta) have a regular book coming out; since I stopped getting invited to Otakon, Ive only done the SDCC as a regular convention stop.
Regardless, in the next few weeks Ill be hacking away at the commissioned sketches I was supposed to deliver to the SDCC this year (and will instead be mailing); Ill post those suckers as I finish 'em.
Anyhoo, in the days to come, Ill post about three more chapter breaks, a recap page, the opening double-page spread and a few other gewgaws from EMPOWERED vol. 2. As the books release nears, Ill prolly post a few, brief portions of story pages here, too. (I could rack up some decent pageviews for, say, the garter-tastic, eyeglasses-ariffic opening page from Smart Girl, even though its in B&W...)
Have yourselves a good one, and Ill talk at ya later.
-AW
Whoops, almost forgot... Heh. Ive received the green light from Dark Horse for EMPOWERED vol. 3, due out in March 2008. Work will be commencing forthwith, needless to say... Ill be cranking out the cover within the next week or two, so stay tuned, yo.

You also mesmerize me with your sketch style when it comes to the art in the panel work. I must say, I am more relaxed with that style compared to all the toning processes and whatnot in other manga, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's just more natural.
Kudos to you once again, great one.

The art is great, the writing is paced and funny and thugboy+empowered are an awfully sweet couple.
Can't wait to read the 2nd volume!

I just added the alternate costume Kei to my favorites. I do hope it gets colored soon.
Thanks for your time!

It would appear that one or two people have already commented on your artistic prowess. So I'll limit myself to to observation that you appear to have not yet achieved the true Prima Donna-hood so becoming to the true comic elite.
May that forever be the case.
