I discovered this one at the last Baltimore Comic Con. I loved the concept of a superhero who finally tells his girlfriend about his secret identity and the relationship moves on from there. This was an impulse purchase I was very happy with.
It was light and fun. A lot of comics now thrive on drama and darkness. This was a breath of fresh air. I grew up on Archie but love Fables so I can appreciate both. I like that his is somewhere in between.
It’s oft describe as a superhero parody because of spoofs of iconic heroes but it’s less about the heroes and more about the people. The heroics are all off camera so he focus is on the relationships between the characters: Abby and her sister, Crusader and Darkblade, Abby and Amazonia. Abby and Mark are so couple-y that you want to hate them but you like them too much. I can’t wait to read the next trade.
