Comments: The heroes are gathered; Captain Canuck, Human-Lizard, Crucible, and Northguard. They have gathered to face the aliens the Borealis.
Northguard goes off to save Montreal and finds himself fighting not only aliens but a live volcano. He goes all out to stop them. Canadians never quit.
The Borealis sent hunters after Captain Canuck, Crucible and Human-Lizard. The hunters are powerful and skilled fighters. Yet they face Canadians. This is a battle to save not only Canada but the world from these invaders.
The comic is not that exciting. The characters it is assumed you know them and know why they are doing what they do. The super-heroes are portrayed as more ordinary people than just super-heroes. They act like your every day person in their personalities.
Captain Canuck does come across as a great hero willing to do whatever it takes to protect others. He is what a hero should be.

Comments: The world has been invaded by the Borealis. They are a vicious alien race. The human race though does not roll over and in Canada the Canadian Super-Heroes do not give up.
The aliens have superior technology and they are bigger and stronger yet the human race especially as represented by Canadians do not give up they fight on even with no hope of winning they never for a second even consider surrender.
Lance Valiant another super-hero is hard hitting action in motion. He joins up with four other heroes they are the hope of the world. Michael as well has a plan and he will make any sacrifice to stop them.
As the super-heroes attack the aliens they are an inspiration. Captain Canuck and his brother Michael we see are at odds with each other. Michael made a promise and he will keep it no matter the cost.
The art gorgeously shows off the characters. The aliens on some level think they are in the right while the human race is shown so full of hope. The human race are fighters who do not roll over for anyone.
If you want to be inspired this comic and its heroes deliver.

Comments: For some strange reason the way the comics are numbered changes here.
Captain Canuck and his teammates are facing overwhelming odds against the invading aliens.
Magna and the Borealis Hunters are somewhat impressive, they are powerful. The art could show them as more grim. They are very alien looking just not as impressive as you might expect for a world conquering race.
Tom and Michael get onboard the alien's mothership. These two brothers do not give up. Tom aka Captain Canuck does show us all what makes him a true hero. The last part of this issue really shines. Tom does what he has to to save us all.
The aliens vs super-heroes has been done but here it really works to bring across how dire the situation is. The heroes all work together facing odds they can not hope to defeat yet they fight on.
Canada does have amazing super-heroes and Captain Canuck stands out as the best of them.
