“Okay, first of all, Capes is a riot and features some of the best characters in the Invincible Universe," said Senior Editor Nachie Marsham. "But, as you'll see in the books, it's also a cool way to showcase Kirkman and Englert's storytelling and ideas over the years, and a chance to see what's coming in the future.” 

BOLT! KID THOR! KNOCK OUT! CAPTAIN COSMIC! CLAIRE VOYANT! BIG BRAIN! COMMANDER CAPITALISM! Welcome to Capes Inc, employers of your favorite superheroes that protect New York City – well, at least when they’re on the clock - from threats like MACHINE HEAD, TITAN...and now are in the crosshairs of an enemy they never expected!
