About the series
In the wake of a devastating superhero war, After the Cape (Image, 2007–present) follows a handful of survivors grappling with a world that no longer needs or trusts them. Written by Howard Wong and Jim Valentino with lush, expressive art by Marco Rudy, this three-issue series examines the quiet, human cost of superhuman conflict. It’s a somber, character-driven meditation on legacy and loss, standing out for its intimate scale within Image’s superhero catalog.
