Superheroes In The Slammer In November
I confess, I am the kind of folk who looks down on much of what Devil's Due has published over the years, with the possible exception of Hack/Slash. Too much seemed exploitative, lazy and just boring.
Yesterday, I was surprised by the news of their upcoming comic Squarriors which seemed a league away from the books I'd usually associated with the publisher. And today comes another with Solitary, a superhero prison drama, by CW Cooke, Nando Souzamotta and Greg & Fake.
I'm of the belief that Cyclops should have stayed in jail post AVX, and I rather enjoyed those scenes. And while comics have had moments portraying supercharacters in jail, only DC's Hard Time did this with any gusto.
And its one that seems to be influenced, stylistically at least, by Netflix drama Orange Is The New Black.
And that's a great cover by Carl Yonder…
