[[http://herobynight.keenspot.com Hero By Night]] is a comic series created by D.J. Coffman.
Pittsburgh, present day. Jack King gets a new job as a superintendent of "the Brick", an old residential building, and while cleaning up his basement flat discovers the hidden lair and
belongings of a long lost super hero from the 1940's/50's. Pretty cool, huh? Obviously he'll take up the mantle and... what do you mean, sell the hero's journals to the
highest bidder online?
Nah, of course [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality he won't]].
Some of the tropes present:
* BigGood: Doctor Nowhere. We hope
* CaptainGeographic: Captain Kremlin [[spoiler: still counts after becoming America's Freedom Fighter]]
* TheCape: David, Jack is more of a DorkKnight
* ChestInsignia: Hero as well as some others
* ComesGreatResponsibility: David's stance - Jack's growing into it
* FlyingBrick: Not Hero himself, but some of his allies
* FreakLabAccident: Jack [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how this just keeps happening to alchemists
* {{Ghostapo}}: In David's days, at least
* GreenThumb: seems to be power of the Druids
* HeroDoesPublicService: David worked in a soup kitchen, Jack has a stronge sense of community as well
