Vespers

Vespers #1

by Tony C. Caputo

Vesper, a Madonna-like rock star, happens to have mystical supernatural powers, and while she may be a talented singer, it's these powers that fuel her success, distorting her image and how many of the public perceive a witch, demon, whore, saint, disciple. The overwhelming paparazzi alone take her to the brink of insanity, but cult worshippers, animal sacrifices, and the inability to find even a regular date isolates her from the rest of the world. Movie stars and fellow rock stars are afraid of her, shadowed by her iconic image, further drowning her in a loneliness that drives her to drugs and alcohol. Until one day, while promoting her new album, she meets Connie a.k.a. Kinesis, a fellow super-freak, whose last real relationship was with a self-destructive, drug addicted vampire. Together they created Vespers, a support group for the inhuman, the super-hero, and the supernatural. They eventually realize that their meeting wasn't a coincidence at all, but they were brought together by fate to fight the ultimate evil in the battle for all life on Earth!

Dreck. Quite possibly the most poorly written and drawn comic I've read since the Archie Comics published by Spire Chrisitan Comics in the 1970s. "Cross and the Switchblade" and "God's Smuggler" are high art in comparison.
