After the Cape II #1

The second volume of Image/Shadowline's grounded superhero series kicks off with a quietly devastating image: a nearly empty vodka bottle standing beside a toppled shot glass and a broken picture frame whose cracked glass still reveals the faces of what appear to be two children. Sergio Carrera's cover says everything without a single word — someone's family life and sobriety are in pieces on the floor. It's a striking, unhurried setup for a story that clearly cares more about human cost than cape-and-cowl spectacle.
