Got my extremely eagerly awaited copy of Empowered 10 at work today. And thus spent the whole workday (was given it fairly early in the morning) partly being driven crazy by having to wait all day to read it and seeing it as a reward to look forward to for working hard all day.

And now I've just finished reading it and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Mr. Warren is an evil EVIL man!!! A WHAM!!! story with a cliffhanger ending to the volume!!! He says he's getting volume 11 done and out as fast as possible and I believe it ... but still, if anybody knows where I can get my hands on a TARDIS so I can jump ahead in time just a bit, the info would be much appreciated.

Ahem. Now that I've got that out of my system ...

This series just keeps getting better and better with every volume, that's why I find it so addictive. Excellent all over with many extra-excellent bits. Interesting revelations and even more added depth to characters that are already amazing. The importance of cuddliness in superheroes. Mr. Warren's unique artistic style that is as essential to the storytelling as his words. Extra special love for the "Admonishing Alliteration" and "My Dinner with Spookums" stories (in the latter it's good to see Spooky back and on the path to healing -- physically, mentally, and emotionally -- after the horrific events of volume 8's "I Never Looked in Your Eyes; I Never Heard Your Voice"). And then, after that ...

WHAM!!!

I plan to be haunting every book info source I know of so I can order "Empowered 11" as soon as is physically possible.
