(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Mark Englert FC 32pp $2.95 Three-issue monthly finite series In stores the week of October 8th. THE CONCEPT: "Find something you enjoy doing and then figure out a way to make money doing it." When Bruce Bolt first heard those words he took them to heart, and set out to do just that... he's now teamed up with a group of like-minded individuals. What would you do if you woke up tomorrow with amazing and fantastic powers far beyond that of a mere mortal? I'd become a star football player, a famous boxer, or the world's fastest pizza delivery guy. I know this much for sure, there's NO WAY I would waste my time saving lives, helping people, and devoting all my time to the well being of others, unless there was something in it for me... and neither would these guys. THIS ISSUE: Bolt and company have their hands full when a jailbreak at the local penitentiary fills the streets of New York with super-villains! It's up to him and the rest of the Capes to round them all up before anyone gets hurt... but things don't always go as planned. Tensions rise as scheduled lunch breaks become a thing of the past and our heroes get saddled with more overtime than any of them could ever want. Looks like Bolt will be able to get that big screen television sooner than he thought... if he survives through the week! Cover price $3.50.
