June 5 – John Staton Signing

TERRORPIN! POWERPACHYDERM! BRASS MONKEY! CYBERIAN TIGER! SUPERCOBRA! MAUL BUNNY! Can struggling superheroine Empowered foil a mass carjacking by these animal-armored criminal mecha at the 21st annual Alternate Timeline Superhero Auto Show? Can one exceedingly flimsy “supersuit” overcome 14 hostile tons of heavy metal? This action-packed new Empowered one-shot says: “MAYBE!”

Our very own John Staton will be appearing to sign copies of the new issue of Empowered that he did the main story for, Empowered: Animal Style!

“I should further note that Guest Artist John Staton went way, way above and beyond the call of duty in his design work for the story, which I wrote specifically for his tech-savvy skill set. He cranked out a quite frankly insane total of 40-odd pages of designs for the one-shot’s mecha and superhero vehicles” – Adam Warren, Empowered creator
