The Cape #2

From the writer of Locke & Key comes this dark superhero series from IDW, and issue #2 makes a striking first impression. Zach Howard's cover zooms in on a battered, tearful man gazing upward, a flowing cape visible beneath him — the raw emotion on his face suggesting someone wrestling with something far heavier than hope. With Hill, Ciaramella, Howard, and Dániel all on board, The Cape is shaping up to be one of 2011's more compelling explorations of what superpowers can do to a troubled soul.
