The Youth are Fired Up in CAB’s UTown

Posted on by

Oni Press has revealed the original graphic novel UTown from celebrated Canadian creator CAB – coming to comic shops and bookstore shelves everywhere on July 5, 2023. 

Presenting the definitive edition of the acclaimed webcomic, the 216-page new adult graphic novel is a poignant and piercing look inside pre-gentrification Montreal, where directionless twentysomething Sam, is torn between battling the inequality of the city he loves and the apathy of the 90s generation that defines his existence. 

UTown is the story of a seedy neighborhood that a cast of misfits call home. Samuel is a 24-year-old, self-described aspiring artist (but mostly a video store clerk) who’s doing his best to avoid adulthood. When gentrification shows up at his doorstep, he must face the fact that the town he grew up in is no longer his safe haven–and that he’s not ready to leave just yet. With no money and few options, it’s time for him to step up and prove his worth as a serious artist or keep on repeating old, toxic behaviors.

UTown will be available in softcover for a list price of $19.99 (ISBN: 978-1-63715-220-1) at digital and physical retailers everywhere on July 5, 2023.

Axelle Lenoir (Author, Artist, Cover Artist) CAB (Colorist)

Summer, 1994. With just two months left before college, Elodie is forced by her mother to take a job as a camp counselor. She doesn’t know the first thing about nature, or sports, or kids for that matter, and isn’t especially interested in learning… but now she’s responsible for a foul-mouthed horde of girls who just might win her over. But just as Elodie starts getting used to her new environment—and close to one of the other counselors—a dark mystery lurking around the camp begins to haunt her dreams.

Everything’s finally looking up for Flavie: her sister’s been visiting, her relationship with Marco is…okay, but, most of all, it’s finally getting warmer! When it looks like winter might be ending, Flavie volunteers to assist on an university research project to find out if the temperature has been rising across the entire region. It’s a good distraction from Marco and the trip is exactly what Flavie needs, until she and the research team venture to dangerous Free Territories, where the old reactor that started the nuclear winter began.

BOOM! Studios Bundles Up for Nuclear Winter

Posted on by

BOOM! Studios has announced the first volume of Nuclear Winter, a humorous, slice-of-life original graphic novel coming May 2018 from cartoonist Cab about a young woman just trying to survive her twenties in Montreal—albeit a Montreal that’s been plunged into an eternal winter with radioactive snow, thanks to an accident at the local nuclear power plant that occurred nine years ago. Life goes on for folks like Flavie Beaumont, a mail courier on snowmobile who’s carved out a pretty normal life for herself despite mutant rivals, eclectic urban wildlife, and unrelenting meteorological events.

Print copies of the English-language debut of Nuclear Winter Volume One will be available for sale May 2018.
