CCBA Card Set Forthcoming!

The following information is copied from a Facebook post from earlier today by the Canadian Comic Book Alliance.

Soooo you like Canadian Comic Books? Well you wouldn't be a fan of this page if you didn't! What about trading card? What if the trading cards featured characters by the creators that are members of the CCBA? Well hang onto your beaver pelt hats because coming very soon is exactly that...the first series of CCBA trading cards! Keep your eyes peeled for more information but for now feast your peepers on the triptych checklist cards for the set with art by Justin Shauf and colours and layouts by Donovan Yaciuk! This scene features many characters from the CCBA roster and is actually taken from an upcoming team up comic featuring a plethora of the characters from across the CCBA!!

That last bit about the team up might be the best part. Lots of familiar faces up there, but I admit I'm drawing a blank on the lady second from the right...

Canadian Creators Omnibus

New on Comixology as of today for $1.99 (U.S., naturally).

This 280+ page collection of 14 stories sprang to life out of the original Kickstarter for The Adventures of Auroraman and highlights some of the most fun and entertaining Canadian independent comics being produced today! Featuring stories about Auroraman by Jeff Burton, The Canadian Corps from Andrew Lorenz’s September 17 productions, Donovan Yaciuk’s Spacepig Hamadeus, Jason Loo’s Pitiful Human Lizard even makes a brief appearance! A great way to get a taste of some of these comics, characters and creators all in one place.

The original description of the Omnibus, when it was offered as a perk to the Auroraman campaign, also included the following:

Sam Noir and Christopher Yao’s Major North, Gary Boyarski’s Jack Grimm...a piece from Mark Shainblum co-creator of Northguard, the 3D comic Road Trip by Jason Sylvestre, a story by James Zintel, Hockeypocalypse by Jeff Martin, work from Eric Theriault, a story from Ryan Howe and a story from Elaine Will.

Credit to Chapterhouse Publishing for using their platform to promote this talented bunch and their respective characters.

Edit: I bought it as a show of support and unfortunately, Major North is not included.  Evidently something changed after the original solicitation.

Canadian Corps #2 Cover Reveal!

The long-awaited second issue of September17's Canadian Corps is (fingers crossed) expected to be available some time this spring. In the meantime, S17 revealed that book's cover earlier today.

This falls under the category of "If you're here, you probably already know about Canadian Corps". Be that as it may, if you're unfamiliar with the book or have yet to give it a longer look, this is as good a time as any to do so. Check it out here.
