review 1: This is based on a short story by Joe Hill, you know the fantastic storyteller behind 'Locke & Key' and 'Nos4A2'. This doesn't mean that 'The Cape' gets anywhere near the quality we expect when the name 'Joe Hill' is printed on the cover. It's a good, dark and violent story with beautiful artwork but the concept of someone using superpowers for evil instead of good has been done before and better in comics (for instance in 'A God Somewhere' by Arcudi & Snejbjerg).
review 2: This had been on my Goodreads recommended list for a while and I wanted to read it because it's based on a story by Joe Hill. It was - interesting. When I picked it up, I hadn't expected the protagonist to turn out to be the villain - and a particularly unlikeable one. The artwork remi... morended me of pulp fiction or comics (with the addition of the black dots) and there's the scene as well showing the interior of the protaginist's brain that reminds me of Hill's Locke & Key graphic novel series. less
