http://theystandonguard.blogspot.com/2015/07/another-treat-from-chapterhouse-inh.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Another Treat from Chapterhouse in October. It seems that every month the Chapterhouse Comics Group manages to toss a nice surprise among its future solicitations. In addition to the compilation of the original Captain Canuck. Series, they are reprinting (and completing) Beyond, a fantasy story that served a back up feature in the CC book at the time, and will begin publishing the adventures of The Pitiful Human Lizard. In October, the sixth issue of the regular Captain Canuck.

http://theystandonguard.blogspot.com/2015/08/mr-monster-cover-appearance-for-argo.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Mr Monster Cover Appearance for Argo Comics. I've been away for a few days without an internet connection (or at least an ongoing, reliable one) and am in the process of catching up. In the meantime, here's kind of a neat thing that I stumbled into today, even though it was actually posted on the Argo Comics Facebook group. Back in April. The cover to the 17th issue was provided by Michael T. Gilbert, the gentleman who revived Mr. Monster in the mid-80's. More info on the fb page:.

They Stand on Guard!: The Canadian Side of the Advent Universe
http://theystandonguard.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-canadian-side-of-advent-universe.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. The Canadian Side of the Advent Universe. I've known for a couple of years now that, at some point, I would write about Advent Comics. It just seemed inevitable. You don't have to devote much time to looking through the preview art on the publisher's Facebook group. To realize that Advent has an enormous cast of characters, various team concepts, and so on. I did not, however, locate a Canadian at first view. At least not one that jumped out as such. And appears in a story about ...

They Stand on Guard!: The Pitiful Human-Lizard to be Published by Chapterhouse
http://theystandonguard.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-pitiful-human-lizard-to-be.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. The Pitiful Human-Lizard to be Published by Chapterhouse. I have praised First Comics News. In the past for their willingness to spotlight small independent publishers and will continue to do so. Perhaps others are doing it and I'm not aware of it, but FCN is the only site I've seen that regularly includes Chapterhouse Publishing's monthly solicitations. W) Kalman Andrasofszky, Ed Brisson. A) Leonard Kirk, Scott Hepburn. CA) Kalman Andrasofszky, Scott Hepburn. The most notorious...

Wednesday, July 1, 2015. ICYMI Art: Nelvana sketch cover by Steven Butler. I've been checking in on Gallant Comics for some time because of their use of classic public domain characters. Today, while looking for an image of the Nelvana Of The Northern Lights. Book cover to add to the left hand side of this blog, I happened across a sketch cover that they had for sale. Who has yet to appear anywhere else in a Gallant Comics product). I'm not sure that they actually can use Nelvana. Im a Geek Ent. Young He...

Sunday, June 21, 2015. Coming in Only Two Weeks: Major North #1. Well, that was fast! Or it felt like it from a fan's perspective, anyway! Was first mentioned here in mid-January as a result of stumbling into a sketch of the character on my Twitter timeline, as shared by Sam Noir. Noir explained at the time that North was his (and artist Christopher Yao's) contribution to the second volume of Toronto Comics. Which was released in May. Major North #0. debuting tomorrow at Kids Read Comics. Im a Geek Ent.

Sunday, June 28, 2015. All-Canadian Comics #3 and more, coming soon from Red Leaf Comics. I was quite pleased to here from Red Leaf Comics. This weekend. In recent weeks, publisher John Helmer seemed focused on launching Lucky Comics. And while there was no specific evidence to suggest that it would be at the expense of Red Leaf. I couldn't help but be a little concerned because Red Leaf. ACC#3 has three stories. Two feature Commander North. The origin story of history’s bravest heroes! I should take a m...

They Stand on Guard!: About
http://theystandonguard.blogspot.com/p/about.html
That this blog is dedicated to Canadian heroes probably doesn't require further explanation. The characters don't necessarily have to be "super" (like Johnny Canuck. And they can sometimes lapse into non-heroic behaviour (hey, haven't we all? But the Canadian part is non-negotiable. While I've had an interest in Canadian characters since the early appearances of Alpha Flight. Dynamite Entertainment's Project Superpowers. Maybe a couple of others. Then, the Northern Guard. Great, someone stole my idea!
