A celebration of the work of one of our favourite cartoonists and a great friend, Darwyn Cooke! Darwyn was born on Nov. 16th, 1962 and we like to mark the day by promoting and sharing his works.
We’ll have some sweet deals on some of his comics and books as well as some exclusive items with proceeds going to Darwyn’s charity of choice, The Hero Initiative.
Cartoonist Patrick Allaby illustrates a true(ish) story about teenage relationships and growing up in Fredericton’s Skyline Acres neighbourhood where Allaby spent the first 18 years of his life.
“The story is set in Fredericton in 2008 and 2011 and I really wanted to tell a story that captured what it felt like for me to be a teenager in Fredericton, wasting hours on MSN, wanting to do something, but having no place to go, and being completely naïve,” said Allaby.
Martin Peters is a story about a young diabetic named Martin Peters and his relationship with his first girlfriend, Katherine Paul. The two meet at high school and bond over their common love for Pink Floyd becoming fast friends through regular chats on MSN and hangouts in the neighbourhood park. As their friendship develops, Allaby is able to convey all the drama, anxiety and complications that go along with teenage relationships.
“It’s an exercise in imagining the trajectory my life would have taken if I’d been diagnosed with diabetes at a younger age,” he said. “Originally, I’d wanted to do this as a rock opera, but I can’t play any instruments so I made it a comic instead.”
Celebrate the launch of a fantastical comic anthology that weaves together the experiences of gay, bi, trans, and queer men with the latest health research on body image.

MARVEL COMICS ANNOUNCES THE DAWN OF X WITH SIX NEW SERIES BEGINNING THIS FALL
Following the historic House of X and Powers of X, these new series will usher in the next era of X-Men
New York, NY — July 20, 2019 — With just days until HOUSE OF X #1 hits store shelves, Marvel announced six brand-new ongoing series with a suite of all-star creative teams to take mutantkind further than they’ve ever gone before, kicking off with X-MEN, EXCALIBUR, MARAUDERS, NEW MUTANTS, FALLEN ANGELS, AND X-FORCE!
Announced at Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic Con, these new series will build directly from the universe-shifting events of HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X.
“House of X and Powers of X lay the groundwork for a whole new world of X-Men stories for years to come, and the Dawn of X books are the promise of that new world come to life,” said X-Men Senior Editor Jordan D. White. “They are the start of the new era that will change how we think of the X-Men and the kinds of stories we tell with them. It all begins here.”
Starting this October, writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Leinil Francis Yu will lead mutantkind into the Marvel Universe with the flagship X-MEN series, hand in hand with EXCALIBUR #1 written by Tini Howard and drawn by Marcus To; and MARAUDERS #1 written by Gerry Duggan and drawn by Matteo Lolli!
Later in November, the Dawn of X will continue with NEW MUTANTS #1 written by Jonathan Hickman and Ed Brisson; FALLEN ANGELS #1 written by Bryan Edward Hill and drawn by Szymon Kudranski; and X-FORCE #1 written by Benjamin Percy and drawn by Joshua Cassara!
These new series will kick off the first phase of Jonathan Hickman’s massive multi-year plan for the X-Men, redefining everything the world knows about mutants and their place in the universe. As the perfect jumping on point for new and long-time X-Men fans, these extraordinary series will change everything – with only more to come in the months and years ahead…
And this is only the beginning. The Dawn of X will begin this October!
