Next Up: Stingray...

Behold, the power of Love and Capes.

Just a scant year and a half ago, in Love and Capes #2, I made a reference to the Sci-Fi Channel series The Invisible Man only being on DVD in the United Kingdom. I was a fan of the show, and for that and other reasons I really wanted to get it on DVD here in America. It's part of the reason I bought a region-free DVD player. I didn't buy the UK version, though, more out of inertia more than anything else, and now I don't have to! The I-Man is coming to America!

Explaining the reference in the comics: part of Doctor Karma's shtick is that he can't use his powers directly for his own benefit. I figured he was a powerful magic user and needed some sort of limit. Plus, it gives him a unique reason for being a hero: he actually can't be selfish with his own powers. So, when the Crusader needs something from the good doctor, the Doc asks Crusader to bring him something. Doc Karma couldn't actually teleport to England and buy his own copy.

I, of course, plan on taking full credit for this. I mean, what else could it be? Now if only they'd kept the cool UK packaging.
