Capes for Hire

[CapesForHire]

Hi guys,
I would like to present to you my own little web-comic called Capes for Hire. Which follows Jake, a guy who has a superpower but doesn't want to be a superhero and his coworker Chris who always wanted to be a superhero, but doesn't have a superpower. They join up to fight crime, each other, and going bankrupt. I would love to hear what you think about it.

I'm glad I checked the "about to fall off the page" threads.

So, if you had a normal life, a good job, and suddenly got a minor power, would you strap on a cape and take on the most dangerous job around for no pay?

I wouldn't use a cape, they get caught in too many things :-)

Art is kinda horrible, but humor is decent and writing is good.
In the end a decent read that i would recomend to others.

Oddly, I don't read comics for the art. Stick figures in a "dungeon" that is just a few lines, with borders that aren't straight? Humor will bring me back.

What happens when a normal manager gets the power to make things happen, quickly, and be accomplished? And why did I never have a manager like that :-)

The real story seems to start here. Two main characters, the setting (one lost his job, moves in to live with a friend, while becoming a super hero), and the plot complication ...

Unicorns, Rainbows, Glitter ...

It's like My Little Ponies, villain edition.

The level of stupidity in a super-powered world is difficult to properly describe.

Have you ever seen a super-powered world, in any setting, where the ordinary people and governments are competent? Every such world I've seen seems to have more sub-normal people, and the few "above normals" seem to wind up as sidekicks or super-powered by accident.

... There's just no describing the sillyness of the movie production plot. I won't try.

But the current strip is http://capesforhire.com/59/

Ever gone to a movie where the ending just made no sense, where it seems like the ending was just formulaic fill in the blanks?

Yea, so have I.

We are at the end of part 1. We have people's super powers determined. We have mentally challenged villains doing mentally challenged stuff.
