Around this time last year, I took advantage of a winter sale by publisher Arcana and bought the first book in the Kade series, entitled Original Sun. While contemplating whether I should now buy the second (which I believe to be Sun of Perdition), I inadvertently stumbled upon the answer to my earlier question about Canadian Northwest Kade.
Cain, the first son and the first murderer, has spent a millennia trying to clear his name by clearing the earth of nonhumans. He's down to the final few names on his list, and in 1970s-era Canada, he's located one: Kade! Can Kade elude one of the deadliest men in history as well as a horde of demons hellbent on revenge? It has looked dark for Kade before, but never as dark as in the dim light of a Tribal Sun!Unfortunately, the book is not available until late May (at least from Amazon). Since my plan was to read Kade's adventure in chronological order, it might be a while until I get around to gettiong Tribal Sun. But I'm nonetheless encouraged by the fact that there are still Kade stories on the horizon. It had been a while since the last one was released and I thought perhaps we had hit all the points in time in which Kade had been involved. Perhaps that's not the case.
Prior to this little find, I also noticed that some of the early Kade books were being published digitally on Comixology as individual issues. There are a number of previews by which to get a sampling of what the character is all about and the type of talent that has brought him to life.
More good news: While looking up information about the book, I noticed that Intrinsic 2 is scheduled to be released on Free Comic Book Day this year (May 3rd, 2014). I enjoyed the first series as a sampler of Arcana characters and will definitely be on board with this one as well. Arcana has hit 2014 running.
Sidebar question: are you keeping an eye out for European-created Canadian superheroes? Because I think I spotted about a dozen or so recently. Look up Hero Corp for details.
ReplyDeleteI think I've found it. I'm going to give it a longer look.
DeleteCaptain Trois-Rivières. Lol...
There's a graphic novel prequel to the TV show available. I spotted it at one of the Ottawa Public Library branches. It opens with their Capitaine Québec being arrested by a Montréal police SWAT team...
ReplyDeleteI've watched a couple of clips on youtube and it seemed pretty funny. Thanks for directing my attention to this.
