Northern Guard; i highly recommend them.

I got the first two issues but honestly I thought they weren't that good, mainly the dialogue felt dated to me. I did try though and I REALLY wanted to like them. Alas not to be.

I dug them (digged them?). For me, the "alas" comes in the fact that they are taking so bloody long to get the third issue out!

[Alpha Rider]

Some of them are old Canadian comic book charaters from the 40's and so forth. Johnny Canuck useto be a book back in the 40's and Nanook was also a Canadian book, but from when i don't remember.

Nearly, but not quite. All of them are Golden Age characters from Canadian comics, except for Nanook, though she has some similarities to the Golden Age character Nelvanna.

Moonstone has canceled the series. Hmmm another Canadian related comic series cancelled!

I've asked David Cutler, the artist, if he or Ty Templeton, the writer, will be able to release the final issue.

While it was not Alpha Flight, the concept was sound, and Canadian.

Oh man, seriously? I was really enjoying that book. It was the closest most people will ever get to reading those Golden Age characters (Freelance, Commander Steel, Nanook) and I was hoping to see more of those classic-issue reprints in the back.

Yeah I was liking the series and the reprints, as well.

I even picked up some original art from issue #1.

Very disappointed that the series appears to have been abandoned.

If you don't mind doing it in digital format, and in case you weren't failiar with it, I recently found a boatload of 40's Canadian comics on here:

I've been blown away by it over the past couple of weeks. Been reading the adventures of Nelvana and Johnny Canuck, among others. Good stuff.

I was reading about that on your blog and my jaw dropped. I never thought there was a place where you could download and read full copies of the Canadian Whites; I'm already reading through their collection of Triumph-American. Thank you so much for discovering that.

You guys let me know what you think.

The next one I want to check out is Super Duper #3 with Mr Monster. Speed Savage looks like he was in a number of books as well, but didn't get the notoriety that some of the others did.

Wow. That sucks. Explaisn why issue number three never came out, tho!

Sucks to have an uncompleted storyline, just leave it hanging...

Especially when there was only one issue left.

Makes Marvel's treatment of AF look good, eh?

THAT's a stretch, Phil. NOTHING can do that. Even in comics, where the impossible is possible, that can't happen.
