The man behind Empowered, Dark Horse’s Dirty Pair, Livewires and Iron Man: Hypervelocity, Adam Warren, is our guest this week! He tells us about how Empowered emerged from art commissions, his time at the Kubert School, how his Dirty Pair comics were almost a direct adaptation of the manga, a Marvel project that never happened, drawing in a smaller format and much more! Plus, another reading from Thrasher magazine!
