Disempowered is the seventh issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eleven comic book series. Joss Whedon is the executive producer.
Synopsis[]
Having determined that breaking out of the Safe Zone is impossible, Buffy and Willow struggle with the decision of having their magic removed so that they can return to the world outside — in the hopes that breaking in to the magical internment camp might go easier. But once their magic is gone, will two normal human girls be able to succeed?[1]
