I LOVE Re: Cutie Honey! I still have it burned onto a DVD in my small collection, and it was great to watch, in a shameless fun poking kind of way.
Actually, Empowered was something I hated at first, but after getting it, deleting it, and then getting it again, I have to admit that it really grew on me. There's a natural character growth for Emp, and the series itself pokes fun at all the cliches of current superhero comics. The artwork too was something completely different as there's no inking involved, obviously, and it just seems to add to the... well, honest factor of it.
That just popped into my head. In a lot of ways, Empowered is honest with what it's about, and also surprisingly deep at times. Emp herself is very brave for putting up with so much just so that she can do the right thing, and from all that I've read, the realities of women facing mirrors of themselves and what society in general regards as the perfect woman is critiqued very well here.
Tarot, on the other hand... well... I don't get that sense from Tarot. From the few I've seen on Scans Daily, it just seems to be a big boob job, whereas Adam Warren knows that women actually have internal organs and not a black hole in their midsection.
And that their internal organs are not stuff in their chesticles.
Trust me, Adam Warren can deliver like few others can. He did some wonderful stuff with the Dirty Pair, which I wholeheartedly recommend as well. You won't go wrong with Empowered.
(Hey, what a neat reversal of roles. Now, I am the one informing you about why Empowered, something new, rocks, while you were telling me the good stuff about Watchmen, something old.)
