When it comes to cute romances, I can't help but think of Love and Capes, a web series by Thom Zahler. The series is basically Lois and Clark starring in a romantic comedy and focuses primarily on their relationship.



In this world the greatest super hero is The Crusader, who is secretly an accountant named Mark. He's dating a bookstore owner named Abby Tennyson and at the start of the story they have been dating a while but he hasn't told her the secret

Mark starts to think that Abby is The One, and is debating whether it is time to tell her his secret, so he talks about it with his best friend Paul, who happens to be the hero Darkblade.

Mark does tell her the big secret...

Overall, it's a fun little series, I have the first trade and really need to get the rest when I have a chance.

EDIT: I just found out through Thom's Facebook page that he's released a Love and Capes Valentines story on The Mary Sue it's a PDF downloadable at the bottom of the interview.

I'd like some good guy dating a lady superhero stories. It seems like the only ones allowed to date civies are lads and lesbians.

Yes, something to make up for My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Which was way horrible, from what little I remember about it.

I actually liked how Steve Trevor and Wondy, as shown in BtBB. He obviously liked being rescued by Wondy a lot.

they're afraid of the idea that a superwoman would deserve better than a normal guy. THe way some people say WOnder Woman is a better match for Superman than Lois Lane, combined with the idea a superhuman woman with a regular guy would be seen as settling, etc.

Well, Wonder Girl had a boyfriend/husband at one point, but it didn't end well...

Ditto for Black Canary and Larry Lance.

I love this series! It took me a ridiculously long time to track down the third trade, but I can't help but be a little happy that it did well enough to sell out.
