Trapped in a high-school hellscape, can struggling superheroines Empowered and Sistah Spooky avoid dissection by giant, revenge-minded frogs in an infernal Biology class-and can they survive spell-powered bullying by sneering, school-uniformed sorceresses wielding hellishly abusive text messages and emoji as shockingly lethal magic weapons?
Once again, Empowered fans will love this issue and new fans will love this issue along with the first as well. I think that this series will create a lot more Empowered fans and send a lot of people going back and picking up the original Empowered books. Read Full Review
We continue to get a fun story here that works the past for Sistah Spooky pretty well and offering up a chance at finally putting all of that baggage behind her. There are several challenges ahead as there are plenty of students that took the bad guy's offer of power and beauty to deal with and that means some creative and familiar obstacles that we'll be facing. Spooky gets most of the time here as one would expect but it feels like Emp is even more background than I expected, which I'm a bit mixed on. It's probably a bit for the best as I really don't care for the designs for her in this series, or in general as it just doesn't click for me, but everything is solid and has a good sense of flow about it to keep up with Warren's copious dialogue and how much he crams into every installment.

To me, I believe the original Adam Warren creation of Empowered comes out on top when compared to Emp's adventures with Sistah Spooky. But the book does as it promises with quirky characters in a ridiculous setting battling hating bitches to the death, so take it and love it up. Read Full Review
I love the main Empowered series, but the characters just don't work with such poor artwork.
