Look what finally came in the mail!!! Ava's Demon! (@avasdemon)

So excited to read it (and re-read volume 1)! The artwork is amazing and the story is so original!

I haven't been very active lately and results can vary, but I've found the most amazing graphic novels and comic books on Kickstarter. I started by supporting a project to reprint Canadian comic books from World War II, including Nelvana of the Northern Lights, one of the first female and an Indigenous superheroines:

(Pictured: Mr. Monster, Brok Windsor, Sally the Sleuth, Fashion in Action, and Johnny Canuck, all reprinted historical comic books)

Then I found this amazing series about post-apocalyptic mice, Scurry (I cannot even describe how amazing the artwork is):

And this retold fairy tale painted entirely in watercolour, Blue Eyes & the Beastling:

Just to name a few! I really love well-done graphic novels and I don't find enough on the market. I've found a ton of amazing ones.

What do Superman, Nelvana of the Northern Lights, Johnny Canuck, Captain Canuck and Fleur de Lys have in common? For one thing, they're all super heroes sprung from the wondrous pages of comic book; and for another, they're all the marvelous creations of Canadian talent.

So I was reading a league of extraordinary gentlemen Black Dossier fan fiction. and for the Canadian team they put had these guys together after world War 2. I have never heard of these guys before. except for the Animation production company Named after Nelvana

they Put the Canadian league up against a animal farm version of Wilbur which was weird. is Snidely Whiplash not a big enough threat for them?
