Trump's remarks about annexing Canada may or may not be serious, but Canadians aren't taking them as a joke. @Gizmodo reports on how hardcover collections of Image Comics' "We Stand on Guard" are close to selling out. The miniseries from "Y: The Last Man" writer Brian K. Vaughan and "Doc Frankenstein" artist Steve Skroce is set in a fictionalized 2124 and covers the rise of the Canadian resistance to a U.S. occupation. “Many of my proudest collaborations have been with Canadian creators, and it was a particular thrill to finally work with legendary artist Steve Skroce,” Vaughan added in a newly released statement. “So I’m grateful that readers have been revisiting our nightmarish war story, which we hope remains fiction.”

Get ready for action! Garth Ennis, Brian K Vaughan, John Wagner, Torunn Gronbekk and more head up the powerhouse creative team for the new Battle Action series – coming this summer!
Launching in August, the new ten-issue series will bring readers death-defying heroics and incredible action, delivered by a crack team of top comics creators, including a brand new revival of the controversial series ‘Kids Rule OK’ from Brian K Vaughan and Chris Burnham, and the final story of WWII aerial ace ‘Johnny Red’ by Garth Ennis and Keith Burns!
Combining stories and characters from 1970s classic comics Battle and Action, Ennis said Battle Action will deliver all the thrills that earned the original comics their hard-bitten, action-packed reputations…
Ennis and Burns will be joined on Battle Action by an all-star lineup of creators including John Wagner, Torunn Grønbekk, Dan Abnett, Rob Williams, John Higgins, Henry Flint, John McCrea, Steve White, and Tom Foster.
‘Kids Rule OK’ was the controversial and violent story that led to an issue of Action being pulled from shelves in 1976, now Vaughan and Burnham revisit this landmark series with a story set in a hostile future London where a young American boy runs for his life from a mob of xenophobic British Punks – but he has a secret weapon they aren’t expecting…
One of the most beloved characters in British comics history, Johnny Red is a fighter pilot in World War II who fights for peace and liberation. But this new story will cover a moment in his history which has never been seen before: the final days of World War II.
Alongside Johnny and returning heroes ‘Nina Petrova’, ‘Major Eazy’, ‘HMS Nightshade’, ‘Dredger’ and ‘Hellman of Hammer Force’, the series will expand to welcome in new takes on several other classic comics characters and stories – including killer shark ‘Hookjaw’, former-enslaved-man-turned-outlaw ‘El Mestizo’, and violent future sports series ‘Death Game’ – making Battle Action the most furiously action-packed comic on the stands!
The ten-issue series in magazine format kicks off in August with Battle Action #1, which will be available through all good comic book stores through Diamond Distribution.

Just finished reading the last two TPBs of the Paper Girls comic. Excellent arc. Finishing up the book series made me so unhappy that the TV series didn't make it. Netflix? No, Amazon. It wasn't a great show, but there's enough story that it could've grown into a good show. Re-reading the first four in the set and I'm catching a lot of what I didn't the first time through.
Discussing the link between horror and science fiction:
Me: "Oh yes, much of SF is actually quite harrowing, like watching the present on fast-forward."
Friend: "Luckily, we have been reading PKD most of our lives. It helps to lessen the shock."
