| The cover to SuperCakes |
I’ve written before about the metaphorical breadth
that superhero comics offer, despite few mainstream comics taking advantage of it,
but Kat Leyh’s SuperCakes manages to find refreshing takes on several
possibilities a few pages at a time. One story can start as a meditation on
work/life balance to become a quiet exploration of a relationship milestone,
while another can start as a more introverted story before turning to raucous
superhero exploits. It maintains a light tone throughout, even when hinting at
disturbing backstory, and is all the better for it.
