PUNCH THE CLOCK! Kirkman’s Superhero Line Explodes Again This July!
Capes Vol. 1: Punching the Clock
June 14th, 2007 - This July, Robert Kirkman’s CAPES VOLUME ONE: PUNCHING THE CLOCK TPB its stands to prove that his passion for superheroics just can’t be stopped.
“While I’ve got my own personal sandbox of super-toys in Invincible, I ended up reating too many to fit in the box,” Kirkman explained. “The page of CAPES includes its own mammoth cast with their own personal dramas that deserved their own spotlight as opposed to the background of someone else’s book. I love this genre too much to limit it to just one title!”
CAPES tells the story of a business that employs super-powered individuals to protect the city of New York and occasionally, the world. They’re all on the payroll¬ superheroes that punch a time clock, take lunch breaks and get overtime. Unfortunately for them, their work routine comes crashing down when a betrayal from within threatens to unwind their entire operation. All this is visually conveyed through the bombastic pencils and inks of series artist Mark Englert.
CAPES, VOLUME ONE: PUNCHING THE CLOCK is a 144-page full-color trade paperback with a cover price of $14.99 and goes on sale July 11, 2007. It is available for order from Diamond Comic Distributors (MAY071860).
