You demanded it, and now comicdom's favorite super couple is back in this graphic novel romcom! A few years have passed, and Mark and Abby are now the proud parents of two children: James and his sister Hayley. Now they're navigating the world of play dates, diapers, and field trips, while also running an art gallery and saving the world. Meanwhile, Darkblade and Amazonia have broken up, and Charlotte's worried about dying alone. Also, Hayley has started glowing. But that's totally normal, right? The more things change, the more they stay the same, so return to the sweetness and humor of the world of Love and Capes, from Harvey-nominated creator Thom Zahler (Warning Label, My Little Pony) and fall in love all over again.
Also, become a Patron over at Patreon and get a page of week of the NEW Love and Capes special, Love and Capes: In the Time of Covid and see how our heroes deal with the pandemic.
“Thom’s art is light, but his stories are anything but. They are very grounded in a real world…I’m talking about how all the characters act. How they talk. What their concerns are. What their hopes are. And how they go through life.”
—Marv Wolfman
Crisis on Infinite Earths, Man and Superman"Do you know how rare it is to truly laugh out loud while reading a comic book - even one designed to be funny? Most get a smile here and there. Maybe a huffing sort of chuckle. But Love and Capes legitimately makes me laugh out loud on practically every page. This is seriously good stuff. Read it!"
–Greg Weisman
Young Justice, GargoylesThom Zahler gets many things right with Love and Capes: laugh-out-loud comedy, spot-on superhero parody and fantastic art. But what makes this series so addictive are the relationships, which are some of the most real and compelling in any medium.
–Scott Weinstein
Saturday Night Live Weekend Update"A comic book hero's marriage often ends in divorce, retcon, or reboot, because too many creators don't know what to do with them. Thom Zahler knows JUST what to do with a married hero and spouse--TELL STORIES ABOUT THEM! And what delightful stories they are!"
–Chris Roberson
Superman, I Zombie“This is a comic book that is refreshing, rejuvenating… there is an elegance to its action, a sparkle to the characters, and a clarity of form and purpose that is pretty marvelous... It is filled with hope and intelligence.”
–Deniz Cordell
Newsarama.com“Love and Capes is warm, witty, clever and lighthearted without being empty-- there's real, satisfying emotion underlying the comedy. It's one of a very few comics my wife tries to steal from me so she can read it first."
–Kurt Busiek
Superman, Astro City"Damn straight it is. And what do you mean, 'tries to'?"
–Ann Busiek“A surprisingly charming tale about a hardworking superhero and his girlfriend... Thomas F. Zahler’s boldly cartoony artwork recalls "The Incredibles," and so does his wry, smart dialogue. A-"
–Douglas Wolk
Salon.com“My favorite superhero book on the market today."
–Tony Isabella
Black Lightning, Tony’s Tips"A book full of rare delights--bright, lively art, a fun and clever story told with perfect pacing, and a fresh look at the best (and sometimes silliest) tropes of superhero-hood. Thom Zahler's doing great work on an irreplaceable book."
–Gail Simone
Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman“Zahler's a skilled author, writing about people first and capes second, and his insights into what makes a relationship work are genuine.”
–Mark Waid
Flash, Daredevil“The characters are compelling , the situations a novel, humorous twist of cliches and all perfectly paced with dialogue that adds layers of depth which belie the simple surface appearance.”
