Issue: #8
Release: February 2013
Writers: Kevin Cannon & Zander Cannon
Artists: Kevin Cannon & Zander Cannon
The latest installment of the Cannons' web comic launched this past Wednesday. As always, this excellent work can be purchased wherever web comics or eBooks are sold. I picked up mine at ComiXology for the bargain price of $1.99.
Both main stories are charging towards climax. Zander's Heck includes a major twist which I must say, I did not see coming! In Kevin's Crater XV, Army and Pravda go to visit the orphanage where they first met. Extras include part 7 of Kevin's Penny from the Front, Zander's True Tales of Jin, a mini-comic from Kevin entitled "The Horse Head Killer" and a How to from Kevin on how to write your own mini-comic. Yup, all for under 2 bucks!
Funny coincidence: in the issue's intro comic, Kevin mentions the French-language release of his graphic novel, Far Arden. We had just been in a French bookstore in Montreal over the weekend where I spotted the new edition on the shelves! Kevin is quite the Canadaphile (Is that a word? It should be.) so it's great to see his work become available to the nation's francophones.
My usual disclaimer: I went to college with the Cannons and am therefore slightly biased. However, I would not bother blogging about their work if I didn't think it was good.
What a cool feeling to spot the new edition on the shelves when you weren't looking for it. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I didn't even know the French edition existed until I saw it on the shelf. Comics have much broader appeal in the French-speaking market, making this development all the more exciting.
DeleteIsn't it a Canuckaphant?
ReplyDeleteHadn't heard of this comic before, will check it out (always interested in comics not in the spandex genre).
