That gave me chills.

Nicely done. I especially like how you can't tell who says thank you at the end -- I love it when comics exploit comics-specific features like speech bubbles to layer meaning.

Also, this reminds me of Code 8, a similar concept short film that came out a few months ago.

That was lovely. Thank you.

Oh, I like that.

I stopped reading comics a long time ago, but this is the sort of thing that could hook me again! Good art, non-linear, not quite enough backstory...and a wonderful ambiguity, as cubby notes above.

Lovely. There's the suggestion of a whole complex layered world there. Thank you.

In some way, I thought of John Cassaday Planetary work at first sight.

There's a touch of "The Incredibles" in there as well...

Wow! Thanks for that, cubby. Awesome short.

I liked this a lot. Reminded me of the Unforgiven. Old guys reliving superhero glory days is a theme I'm on board with.

(Not really related other than the metahuman angle, but I wanted to post a link to this recent comic about a super powered little boy and his mom but there's a fund raising request wrapped around the very good optionally free comic book so it seemed like not a good front page thing)

I like everything about this except the atrocious scaling of the first few pages (easily resolved by clicking it, although that gallery only lasts 4 or 5 images) -- some sort of automatic Tumblr thing that resulted in weird blurring.

So if you're disappointed by the initial image quality, just click! It'll be okay!

I'm a comics junkie. Usually get my fix at home going through my longboxes, at my local comic book store, or at cons.

Just got my injection for today right now. Good stuff.
