Funny how you learn about something by reading something else. I was doing some reading and checking out old comic books online, when I found a few links to the website for the Canadian superhero, Captain Canuck. Seems the Captain is still alive and kicking. Richard Comely is still at it, putting out books in short series. Cool idea, considering that seems to be the way to go for independent comics these days. And low and behold, there was more.
Captain Canuck: Unholy War, written by Reil Langois and Drew Langois of Swan River, Manitoba. A short four issue mini series that chronicles the West Coast Captain Canuck. Nice look, good short story and brought back some good memories of the 80s and even the short lived 90s Captain Canuck.More research showed something else, though. Big companies like DC and Marvel and even Image comics like to do the big blockbuster cross overs. But the independent comics usually don't get the option of a major teamup with Batman or Spider-man. That now changes with a series called War of the Independents. War of the Independents will cross over some of independent comics biggest names. Shi, Savage Dragon, Cerebus, Dawn and a whole lot more. And Captain Canuck, both the classic version and the new West Coast Version. I'll leave details out for now, but the July release should be an interesting read. I know I'm looking forward to it.
Until next time...
...keep 'em flyin'.
