Auric of the Great White North #4, a New Chapter on Kickstarter Now

It’s modern day and it’s been about a decade since Auric saved the North from it’s century-long battle against an evil curse. But, with the curious re-emergence of monsters, our hero has returned to fight for his people. Now, in his golden years, Auric has assembled a new team and struggles to battle a whole new generation of beasts, all while dealing with the fact that he is no longer in his prime. As a face from Auric’s past emerges with a so-called “cure” to the curse and as the faith of his people begins to unravel, does Auric still have what it takes to step up and be the hero he once was?

Great North Comics is currently in the midst of a Kickstarter to print Auric of the Great White North #4, the latest issue of their comic series. Written by Davis Dewsbury, with art and letters by Andrew Thomas, colors by Sharon Gauthier, and cover colors by Donovan Yaciuk.

Well into the goal of $1,175 CAD, the Kickstarter campaign ends on November 20th. If you’re new to the series, for just $23 you can catch up with all of the issues, a magnetic bookmark, and sticker.

Review: Martian Comics #4

11-4full500The secret history of the 20th century! Did the red planet cause the Red Scare? Plus, the silent “Cargo Cult” takes us to ancient Egypt!

In Martian Comics #4, the devil reveals his unique history as a shaper of the American history, after World War II. Using the rise of communism to become an influential munitions maker, with help of his charisma field. The writers manage to include real characters like Joe McCarthy, and John F. Kennedy, which is a nice touch. Definitely a unique blend of real history with fiction.

The art work is stunning. The comic provides accurate portrayals of historical figures that are used in the story. I will admit the side story has some curious artwork as the writers and artists use some of the stranger aspects of Egyptian mythology to their advantage.
