Caped

A short-lived but memorable four-issue series from Boom! Studios, Caped explores the gritty, real-world consequences of superheroics through the eyes of the ordinary people left to clean up the mess. Launched in 2009, the series focuses on a team of blue-collar workers—a crime-scene cleaner, a coroner, and a beat cop—who deal with the aftermath of superhuman battles. Known for its grounded, character-driven storytelling, Caped offers a unique, non-powered perspective on the genre, emphasizing the human cost of the capes-and-tights world.
