(Love and Capes, IDW Entertainment)
Love and Capes is so good. SO, SO, SO good.
This is one of those comics no one is talking about but everyone should be reading.
Thom Zahler’s superhero sitcom comic is a romantic comedy in a comic book, a story about two people who love each other and have rushed headlong into a relationship. But one of them is the most famous superhero on earth. Mark and Abby are wonderfully fleshed-out characters, as are all the folks that surround them. Not just the superheroes and villains, but the regular people, as well. Abby’s sister is my legit favorite character in the whole book. She’s The Best.
Doing a humor comic is hard, but Love and Capes makes it look easy, with a fluid style and a plot progression that strikes a balance between hilarious and engaging. A perfect Valentine’s Day read. Or honestly, any day when you wanna kick back and read some good comics. There’s about four trades worth; it’s a good time.
