## Description

As the 21s t century reared its ugly head, the corrupt government of Canada began to slowly take away the rights and privileges of its people. Deep within secret meetings at the house of commons, plans were drawn to methodically strip away the present government and replace it with a more "efficient", controlled political system.

Mock parliamentary meetings were televised to deceive and stall· the people until they passed the point of no return. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were brainwashed into thinking that there was a revolution rising and that they were Canada's only defence against total anarchy.

In truth, the R.C.M.P. became pawns of the government; a leather boot of authority that would stamp out any that would oppose the change. Some had seen it coming, but most did not. To keep the united nations out of the way, various payoffs were made out to other governments including the money hungry united states.

Quebec, being the most immediate threat to the new regime, was separated from the rest of Canada by a mile-high wall. The province was converted into a concentration facility where 'revolutionaries" were stripped of their assets and their dignity. This, they thought, would discourage uprisings.

They were wrong. The spirit of the Canadian people could not be crushed so easily.  Even as the new Canadian flag rose across the nation devoid of the maple leaf, the people held valiantly onto the belief that one day, someone would come to shine a guiding light of hope that would lead the way to freedom.

## Description

In 1912, in a small mining town in Northern Ontario, Canada, a mysterious gas was unleashed from within the cavernous depths of a booming gold mine.  Exposing all workers inside and countless others as it escaped to the outer northern atmosphere, the course of history changed forever.

   On that tragic day, one brave man risked his life in an attempt to save others.  That selfless hero fought through the pain and pulled several of his friends and co-workers out of the mine, and to what he assumed was safety.  Despite his heroics, it was too late for them all.  Many of the transformations were instantaneous but each and every one exposed, changed into evil beasts, cursed forever with the bodies and souls of monsters.

  As our hero fell to the ground, writhing in pain and expecting his inevitable fate, something magical occurred.  A Northern Goddess appeared and bestowed upon him the ability to control the beast inside.  The Goddess also told Auric that it was his destiny to save the north from all the evil that was created that day.

  Now it’s 2015 and it’s been a decade since Auric slayed the last beast and saved the North from it’s century-long battle against evil.  But with the recent re-emergence of the monsters, our hero has returned to fight for his people.

Now, in his golden years, Auric begins to assemble a new team and struggles to battle a new generation of monsters, all while dealing with the fact that he is no longer in his prime.

Airports Commission

The **Airports Commission** was an independent commission established in September 2012 by the Government of the United Kingdom to consider how the UK can “maintain its status as an international hub for aviation and immediate actions to improve the use of existing runway capacity in the next 5 years”. Alongside the proposal to build HS2, the question of how to make best use of and expand airport capacity has become the UK's most significant infrastructure issue over the last few years.

The five person commission, which was chaired by the economist Sir Howard Davies and reported to the Department for Transport (DfT), produced an Interim Report in December 2013 and delivered a Final Report in July 2015.

Captain Cannabis

Verne Andru created the Captain Cannabis character and first comic book in the nineteen-seventies for which he received the official copyright certificate dated April 20, 1977 - that's a big 4/20!

Captain Cannabis, a.k.a. Halburt Lighter, gets his "super powers" from a joint of intragalactic weed he finds one day while waiting for his lady Marion Jones. In keeping with the cerebral effects of puffing, powers involve mind-over-matter but to gain them Hal must first learn to control his thoughts, a daunting task for this love-stuck slacker.

Captain Cannabis Issue 1 was followed during 1978 by Captain Cannabis Issue 2 which picks up the story where No. 1 leaves off. Both issues were distributed in a small run of black and white books at the time of their creation.

Verne created the www.CaptainCannabis.com domain on April 22, 1999 which has remained the focal point for his ongoing development of Captain Cannabis books, movies, DVDs and etc.

Verne developed Captain Cannabis into a feature-length film he registered with the Writers Guild of America during 2005 and issued the first of the comic book series titled "420" on August 27, 2006. 420 features an older Hal Lighter as Captain Cannabis still chasing his heart-throb, Marion Jones.

Virgin Atlantic

**Virgin Atlantic**, a trade name of **Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited**, is a British airline with its head office in Crawley, United Kingdom. The airline was established in 1984 as British Atlantic Airways, and was originally planned by its co-founders Randolph Fields and Alan Hellary to fly between London and the Falkland Islands. Soon after changing the name to Virgin Atlantic Airways, Fields sold his shares in the company after disagreements with Sir Richard Branson over the management of the company. The maiden flight from London Gatwick to Newark Liberty International Airport took place on 22 June 1984. The airline along with Virgin Holidays is controlled by a holding company, Virgin Atlantic Limited, which is 51% owned by the Virgin Group and 49% by Delta Air Lines. It is administratively separate from other Virgin-branded airlines.

Virgin Atlantic uses a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing wide-body aircraft and operates to destinations in North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East and Asia from its main bases at London Heathrow and London Gatwick and its secondary base at Manchester. The airline also operates flights from Glasgow and seasonal flights from Belfast.

In 2012, Virgin Atlantic carried 5.4 million passengers, making it the seventh-largest UK airline in terms of passenger volume. In the year to 31 December 2013, it reported a £51 million group pre-tax loss (approximately US$87 million), however, in the year to 31 December 2014 the airline reported a return to pre-tax profit of £14.4 million. Virgin Atlantic holds a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Type A Operating Licence, which permits it to carry passengers, cargo, and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.

Hockeypocalypse Season 3: Oh, Deer!

## Basic info

Written and drawn by **Jeff Martin**

116 pages, Black and white, Softcover trade paperback

Buy this book! ~ Facebook

## Description

In post-apocalyptic Canada, guns don't kill people - slapshots do.

For the mutated tribes trying to survive nuclear winter - which is like normal Canadian winter, just more radioactive - hockey serves as a form of ritual warfare in which communities gamble their resources on the abilities of their squad to score goals and bust heads on the ice.

When a starving Red Deer squad rolls into town desperate for a win (and dinner), the Atomics use the opportunity to test out their post-apocalyptic power grid - an enormous potato - as well as their second line. What could possibly go wrong? Well, the Red Deer could steal the megapotato, for one, prompting a revenge trip down Highway 2 for the Atomics. It all boils down to one game, winner take all... of the megapotato.

Gatwick Airport

## EGKK

**Gatwick Airport** (IATA: **LGW**, ICAO: **EGKK**) is a major international airport in south-east England, 29.5 miles (47.5 km) south of Central London and (5.0 km; 3.1 mi) north of Crawley. Also known as **London Gatwick**, it is the second-busiest airport by total passenger traffic in the United Kingdom after London Heathrow. Gatwick is the ninth-busiest airport in Europe.

Gatwick opened as an aerodrome in the late 1920s, and has been in use for commercial flights since 1933. The airport has two terminals, the North Terminal and the South Terminal, which cover areas of 98,000 m2 (1,050,000 sq ft) and 160,000 m2 (1,700,000 sq ft) respectively. It operates as a single-runway airport, using a main runway with a length of 3,316 m (10,879 ft). A secondary runway is available but, due to its proximity to the main runway, can only be used if that is out of use. In 2015, 40.3 million passengers passed through the airport, a 5.7% increase compared with 2014.

Man vs. Technology. A theme that has fueled the imagination of authors for decades. A simple idea, which has spawned many epic and operatic works of literature and inspired imaginative, mind-bending stories that span space and time in the attempt to answer the ultimate question - what does it mean to be human?

Bradley has failed. His greatest creation has outwitted him, kicked his ass, and escaped into the streets of Toronto.

But more is at stake for Bradley than just carrying out his petty vendetta against his creation. The AI also contains a secret within its coding that if it gets into the wrong hands, could destroy Bradley's life. Bradley must track it down—not just to enact his revenge, but also to ensure his own survival.

Meanwhile, the AI hatches a plan to save themself and the life of their friend Burpo by uploading their consciousness into the virtual reality amusement park of Burpoland. Once they upload their consciousness into a computer program, Bradley won't be able to reach or hurt them—that is...if he doesn't hunt them down first.

Published by ChiGraphic

## Description

### Product Description

The Infinitum are a future society of people and aliens displaced to our past. Nine works in The Paradox Bureau, an agency that police the temporal diaspora and prevent crimes before they happen. Special Investigator Nine is sent on assignment to the 1930s (to the very place and time he was originally recruited) and must avoid altering his own past while investigating a seemingly unpreventable murder. Nine uncoils a temporal conspiracy at the heart of a militant separatist movement. Why would an organization dedicated to preventing murder before it happens cover up a series of grisly killings? Nine, a time agent who is able to return from his own future to offer himself advice or armed back-up, must now rely on his memory of the past rather than help from the future to solve a series of murders that can’t be prevented. Through the flash of rayguns and the half-light and fog of a future-tainted 1930s, Nine pursues a killer while he avoids fouling the investigations of his own multiple selves. To save his future and solve the crime Nine risks changing the one moment that gave his life purpose.? Nine must decide if love is a force of nature or a force of habit. The one event he can’t live without must be altered to save the people he cares for, making himself his own worst adversary. “With enough time, you can fix anything.” Infinitum is a 120-page lavishly illustrated graphic novel that breaks all the science fiction “rules” of time travel.

When the Edmonton Atomics don't get the supplies they need from a road trip through southern Alberta, Skully has an idea that will take the team west across the Rocky Mountains - but it might end up being a one way trip, if the Okanagan Ogopogo have their way.

Auric of the Great White North

## Character Description

​In 1912, in a small mining town in Northern Ontario, Canada, a mysterious gas was unleashed from within the cavernous depths of a booming gold mine.  Exposing all workers inside and countless others as it escaped to the outer northern atmosphere, the course of history changed forever.

   On that tragic day, one brave man risked his life in an attempt to save others.  That selfless hero fought through the pain and pulled several of his friends and co-workers out of the mine, and to what he assumed was safety.  Despite his heroics, it was too late for them all.  Many of the transformations were instantaneous but each and every one exposed, changed into evil beasts, cursed forever with the bodies and souls of monsters.

  As our hero fell to the ground, writhing in pain and expecting his inevitable fate, something magical occurred.  A Northern Goddess appeared and bestowed upon him the ability to control the beast inside.  The Goddess also told Auric that it was his destiny to save the north from all the evil that was created that day.

  It’s been a decade now since Auric slayed the last beast and saved the North from it’s century-long battle against evil.  But with the recent re-emergence of the monsters, our hero has returned to fight for his people.

 Now, in his golden years, Auric begins to assemble a new team and struggles to battle a new generation of monsters, all while dealing with the fact that he is no longer in his prime.

Ghost Cats episode 4

Written by **Brian FH Clement**

Art, Colours & Letters by **Arinn Westendorf**

## Description

The Ghost Cats frolic in the forest and come upon an elderly woman picking herbs. She beckons them over and immediately becomes friendly with them, and the Ghost Cats follow her home. Based on her home, it is clear that she is a witch, complete with broom, cauldron, jars of strange ingredients, and the skeletong of her deceased familiar, Sable. She makes stew and knits while the Ghost Cats make themselves at home.

During the night, a group of 4 vampires scratch at the door, but the Ghost Cats knock over a jar to make noise. The elderly woman wakes up, and the vampires flee. In the sunlight, she investigates the footprints, which make it clear to her that vampires were skulking about outside.

The witch makes various preparations, sharpening blades and the end of her broom, preparing a garlic stew, and setting up her house for defense. During the night, the vampires return in the form of bats, which become mist to slip under the door. One of the Ghost Cats knocks over a jar full of buttons, which spills buttons everywhere, and two of the vampires stop to count them, as vampires are compelled to do.

The other two vampires try to make their way upstairs, but the witch sees them from the top of the stairs. The vampires are dispatched by various traps and defenses prepared by the witch, until the most powerful vampire remains. The witch uses a spell to transform into a creature of fire, and blasts the remaining vampire with columns of fire.

The next day, the Ghost Cats accompany the witch as she picks herbs. She smiles at them, and reveals she still has the power of flame within her. The Ghost Cats, having made a new friend, float away into the forest.
