## Description

In NORTH, superheroes are more of an 'American thing.'

Canada hasn’t had active super-heroes or villains for decades. South of the border, the American dream mentality has manifested in larger than life heroes and villains centered mostly in major cities around the United States, while their humble cousins to the north had only a handful of masked heroes back in the eighties and that ended catastrophically... for all of them. Since then, masked good and evil in the north and the tragedy that resulted has become a part of our history... ‘best to keep things modest.’

**Current day: Toronto.**

Casey Van Allen, the offspring of the fallen legendary hero (Major Snow), has learned that the monster responsible for her father’s death (arch villain Lord Reign), is alive and well, living the good life after effectively staging his death years ago. Determined to follow in her father’s footsteps and to bring in the man who killed a national treasure, the young woman suits up and unearths a team of gifted misfits to help her in her mission.

With special abilities that combined should be enough to apprehend the now elderly Lord Reign, the Casey’s team bites of more than they can chew and accidentally awaken a beast that has laid dormant for the last thirty years. The well-intended group accidentally trigger the country’s second age of super-powered heroes and villains and only a mysterious flag-wearing mentor can keep them alive through the journey ahead.

Stephan Petersen is a native of Kitchener, Ontario and a graduate of the Comic Design and Scripting Program at Mohawk College. Stephan also attended Sheridan for their 3-year Visual Arts Program and the University of Waterloo where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree; but Stephan always found his true passion to be in comics.

While still attending University, Stephan was hired by Flying Saucer Productions to do the artwork for "Paroxysms of Caesars". He worked with writer Alan Lawless for a little over a year before pursuing other opportunities.

Oh yeah — and the Misfits battle a drug-addicted gorilla.

After uncovering the ghastly secret of the heroes of The Midnight Society, the allies and the enemies of The Risk must navigate treacherous waters, with anyone left unsure who is a monster behind the mask.

Since The Risk disappeared, The Sphinx has been on the trail of the truth, guided by nightmares of a doom-addled sea and the creatures that rule it.

But in a world where everyone is hiding something behind the mask, how long until The Midnight Society’s luck runs out, and the world becomes the hellscape The Sphinx thought she’d left behind in the War?

Golden Age vigilantes face off against Lovecraftian terrors in this horror noir that blurs the line between heroes and the monsters inside them.

"Luanga has written a truly original comic with Paper Rock Scissors n’ Stuff Wars" *Almost Normal Comics* (October 6, 2016)

"This is truly a unique concept" *Andy Kunka - Comics Alternative* (October 12, 2016)

## Description

Paper Rock Scissors N' Stuff Wars is a four-issue limited series re-imagining of the classic hand game Rock-Paper-Scissors as a living planet-wide war between elements. The series is written and created by Luanga Nuwame and published by Zelpha Comics Ltd.

Issue #1 begins with the Scissors' Metallic Empire kingdom discovering there is another kingdom of sentient Papers. Without warning, the Scissors invade Paper Flatopia and easily decimate the Paper defenses. Prince Teflord Jr., son of Paper King Teflord, escapes with a small platoon of warriors to find help. Splitting into two teams, Prince Teflord's warriors discover two new kingdoms of Plastic and Rock.

The Rock kingdom is inhabited by powerful and wise living Rocks who are aware of the other kingdoms. The Paper warrior spies are soon discovered and are pursued by Rock guards. The Paper spies discover, purely by chance, that the Rocks have one weakness - they are claustrophobic. The Paper spied use their ability to fly on air currents to escape and share their discovery with Prince Teflord Jr.

Prince Teflord Jr discovers the Plastic's of Null Forest and that they too already know about the other kingdoms. Teflord Jr. talks to the Plastic's queen to figure out as much as possible about the Scissors menace destroying his home.

Back in the Rock kingdom, The Rock Council under Lord Quartz agrees to send their bravest young warrior Rocknar out to gather intelligence and to bring back 'samples' of the other elements.

While all this is happening, in a far off unknown part of the planet, the secretive Anvil Elders and their Glue servants reveal they know everything about what is about to transpire and that it is their responsibility to end the fighting between all kingdoms.

## Description

Nyobi returns with the 3rd action-packed issue to the already successful independent series. We follow Nyobi straight from the events of issues 1 and 2!!! With Nyobi's ever growing problems, she just seeks a little fun and relaxation. Unfortunately for her, trouble just seems to land on her lap.

23 year-old, Japanese-American **Nyobi Lee** currently resides in Port Hope with an apartment located in Tokyo. Before developing her powers, Nyobi was performing in an all girl J-pop group, The Geisha Dolls. A group which was quickly gaining popularity. At age 16 during a meet and greet at The Mega Plex mall in Tokyo, Nyobi's powers manifested while being mobbed by a large group of fans. This was the moment she realized her life would change forever as a ring of light flashed in front of everyone's eyes and she was gone. She appeared in back of the building dazed and confused. The media ran nuts with the story and everyone had their theories as to what happened. ICON Entertainment tried to explain it as a special effect, a stunt. However, a week later Nyobi appeared on MY-Tube and exposed herself to the world.............

As of late, she has also just learned that her powers are slowly killing her with each use. We now see how Nyobi struggles with the busy life of a pop-star/hero, but also how she plans to manage the use of her abilities and when to use them.

The Pitiful Human Lizard

## Character Description

The Pitiful Human- Lizard is a new comic book series created by cartoonist Jason Loo. The story follows corporate lackey Lucas Barrett who finds excitement outside his 9-to-5 job as a struggling superhero.

"Pitiful Human Lizard is a fun, sincere read that pays strong homage to its superhero comic roots while making conscious effort to pave its own way. It has a strong future as a series, and of developing its own sets of gripping lore and canon, while remaining a distinctly (and delightfully) Canadian piece of art." -Paper Droids

## Description

Punk is Dead! At least it is for the legendary Punk trio from London, (U.K.), The Punk Brats and their members, the Gekimo siblings, when the drummer and the oldest rat in the mischief is hit by the Blues. Their reputation and career is at stakes, unless the two remaining members of the family, with little help from their Canadian cousin and newly appointed manager, find a cure for Bob to put them back on the road to stardom. This task is easier said than done, since Bob’s peculiar obsession is a romantic pursuit of much older dams. While it's not an impossible task to achieve on its own merit, it might pose some grueling challenges for the brothers, since the blues affected rodent is a Quinquagenarian himself. This 3 Issue Limited Mini-Series offers a hilarious take on the mid-life crisis by sui generis anthropomorphic protagonists in a story lavishly scattered with fun to decipher pop culture references.

***The Ghost Of The Cradle*** - When a mysterious vigilante starts targeting the criminal underworld of the Cradle, a borough of Charlotte City, Detective Alex Turnbull is tasked with tracking down this strange new threat. Turnbull is forced to face his own personal demons in the hunt for this ghostly persona, all while under the watchful eye of an even deadlier menace looming in the shadows.

Who is the Ghost of the Cradle? Exactly what is behind his vendetta with the criminal element of the city? Will Alex Turnbull be able to pull himself together and get the answers he seeks? All will be revealed in time.

***Leap Frog*** **-** In the far distant future, a massive Interstellar craft is travelling at near the speed of light. Behind it is the dying star which forced its inhabitants to leave their solar system. Before it is their new home, the nearest star. After hundreds of generations, they are half way there, but still have a long, long way to go.

Now, upon approaching an asteroid belt, they must commandeer their vessel to tap into the rich resources it has to offer which will enable them to push ever forward. The dangers that lie to both inhabitants and ship are great, and tensions are high as the current high commander and crew must navigate this immense task before them.

Amidst the dark void, though, a lone beacon is picked up on their sensors. Could this anomaly actually be first contact from another alien species, and if so, are they friendly or hostile?
