Empowered is an unsuccessful but dedicated super-heroine who is cursed with an extremely wacky and unreliable super suit that has an unfortunate tendency to fail when she needs it. Often captured by various criminals and super-villains, she struggles to live down a reputation as being the "lamest" cape around.
Empowered is pretty awesome, I'm surprised more people aren't fans. I guess most people just see a scantily-clad superheroine in a manga style and figure they wouldn't like it.

Probably when she met Thugboy, that was pretty sweet.
I actually own Empowered V1 (gifted to me), but I haven't gotten down to reading it and it's been lying there for a while now. I admit that the manga style has a lot to do with why I haven't done so. I find it hard to look past the art, but I'll probably get down to reading it eventually.
@brc2000: The way it's set up, you can read a few pages at a time. You should just crack it open and read a few sections, and if you don't totally hate it, keep going.
Favorite Emp moment is the training montage when she gets bit by a shark... and yet her suit doesn't rip! I never quite knew if it was just a mistake or if that actually meant something.
