SuperCakes by Kat Leyh Review
There are more reasons why people read superhero comics than there are superhero comics. Some readers find themselves enraptured by the decades of continuity and mythos. Others revel in the nostalgia. Creators like Grant Morrison innovate under the pretense that superheroes are our modern myths—Superman and Batman standing in for figures like Hercules and Hades. But regardless of reason, DC and Marvel have the superhero market on lock. Third-party entrants (at least in the U.S.) have, for the most part, failed to capitalize on the current popularity of the genre. They aren’t able to appeal to the nostalgia or debut with fully-realized parallel universes.
