Super Itis

Richie Pope’s Super Itis (2017–present, Shortbox) is a one-issue comic that reimagines the morning-after feeling of a superhero’s post-battle meal—the titular food coma—as a quiet, character-driven slice of life. Pope, who both writes and illustrates, focuses on the mundane, relatable aftermath of heroics, turning a moment of overindulgence into a warm, humorous meditation on rest and recovery. A charmingly offbeat entry from Shortbox’s catalog, it matters for its clever, low-stakes take on the genre.
