Again this was a reread because I haven't read volume 3 yet and wanted a refresher. I love this book. It is fresh and fun. Every issue brings something new, funny, & heart warming. For me there is nothing even remotely like it on the market. It can appeal to everyone and if your not reading it you should.

Love and Capes continues its cute comic escapades as Mark and Abby plan their wedding. A fun diversion, and the romantic banter rings true.

After stumbling upon the first volume of Love and Capes, I made a point in my library browsing routine to return to that exact spot to check if the second one was available. Sure, I could have requested it, but that ease of "ask and receive" ruins part of the fun. Love and Capes managed to work it's way into my subconscious so deeply that I even had a nightmare about it. I had gotten volume two, but had also mistakenly grabbed volume one and was feeling panicked and confused about this very, very serious debacle. (My dream logic is so screwy that I wish I could tell you this sort of dream doesn't happen often, but it does, it does with alarming frequency.)
So nightmare aside, Going To The Chapel was a excellent continuation of the first volume.
This time around we are following each event working up to the wedding after it was made clear that Mark planned to propose. From the asking, to the dressing, to the day itself, each story had something funny and interesting going for it. We also have that same bright and bold artwork style, but this time around the level of detail put into each background really stood out to me. There was always more to look at then just the characters, with so much variation, not only with the locations themselves, but with different backdrops for each panel.
The characters, new and old, all had there time to shine. With great dialogue and character designs that I am still just in awe of. Each character had so much movement and expression that I fell in love with each and every of them.
This volume was just full of happy-fun-times. I can't put it more elegantly then that.
