Super Canucks by Matthew Del Papa and Andy Taylor

Super Canucks centres not on your typical big city superheros, but those who live in and around Canada’s more often overlooked locales, from the frostbitten shores of a Newfoundland outport to the restless streets of Abbotsford, British Columbia. Their mission? Tackle the chaos sweeping across the Great North: megalomaniac supervillains, sinister megacorporations, frightening wildlife, and—most terrifying of all—the creeping, existential fear of growing old. All the stories push the boundaries of a genre historically ruled by spandex and punchy slogans to ask the same question: what is it that really makes someone a hero—super or not? Super Canuck contributors: Pauline Barnby, Dwain Campbell, Matthew Del Papa, Matthew Heiti, Casey Lawrence, Melanie Marttila, Premee Mohamed, Christopher O’Halloran, Jim Robb, Niall Spain, and Andy Taylor.
