i really enjoyed it alot, kind of sad it's over. i think the series really would've benifited had it been 4 issues. i hope it sold well enough to merrit a sequel or prequel. the art looked a little rushed on a few pages in the last issue.

anyways if you guys put anymore cape books out you can count me in.

I just finished issues 3, and I can't begin to say how much I am enjoying this series. I would love to see it in color, but that is just a minor complaint. Other than that, great series.

I do want to add, as someone who has had to deal with alcoholic family members, the portrayals in this book are spot on. It rips my heart out just thinking about his family in this book and what they are living through.

Thanks Valen. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm currently working on the second series, but until that's done, there will be a trade coming out in September that will be in July Previews. The cover is amazing and the extras will be a behind the scenes look of how it went from a submission to an actual comic mini series.
