The retail version of Love and Capes #7 has hit the shops, and wouldn't you know, there's been a review or two. Including this one from Blake M. Petit at Comixtreme.com:
I'm used to recommending comics for my girlfriend, but this is the first comic she's ever recommended to me. And lo and behold, it's one of those books that leaves me wondering why on Earth I wasn't reading it already. This issue the world's greatest superhero, the Crusader, has decided to pop the question to his girlfriend, Abby. Poor timing, oblivious teammates and supervillain intervention keep screwing up his plans, though, and it soon becomes clear this is one challenge where being a superhero won't give him any advantage at all. Without having read any previous issue, this comic totally pulled me in. It's sweet and funny, the heroes are heroic, the art style is wonderful and the romance between Mark and Abby works wonderfully. I don't know if I'll be able to wait for November for the collected edition of the first six issues so I can see what I missed. This is just simply the best superhero romantic comedy I've ever seen.
And one from Maggie Thompson over at Comic Buyers' Guide, who was judging comics on both how good they were and how good a FCBD title they were. (The difference being a FCBD title should be done in one and accessible to the new reader.)
Maerkle Love and Capes #7 Huzzah! Beginning, middle, and end of a satisfying super-hero story that readers young and oldwill find equally enjoyable. Grade A.
Stuff like this gives me hope that I'll be an unstoppable juggernaut of comic booky goodness at San Diego this year. Now, off to draw page 14!
(Oh, and I saw Get Smart Saturday. Verra good. Steve Carell shows a fair amount of versatility, and they even addressed my issue that Anne Hathaway was too young. If you're looking for something to see, this one was pretty good.)
