First Comics News is a great friend to Chapterhouse Books, regularly displaying the publisher's monthly solicitations and frequently reviewing issues of its various titles. FCN posted Chapterhouse's December releases earlier this week and while the next issue in the Captain Canuck comics series wasn't to be seen, it did include a prose novel.
Neil Dougherty kicks off the Captain Canuck novels with The Terror Birds!The cover's quite cool, have a look below.
Answering a scrambled distress call from an old friend launches Canuck and Kebec into a maelstrom of violence triggering a race against time to foil a terrorist attack. Backed by a fanatical North Korea hell bent on revenge, Goldcorps’ sinister special projects have pushed the dark frontiers of science and weaponized a prehistoric cyborg. Their target – the new Canadian Prime Minister’s first G8 summit in Ottawa. Equilibrium’s two top operators will need all their skill to stop the massacre on the Rideau and push their friendship to its limits as the duo cross Canada on their wildest and most outrageous outing yet.
This is so good to hear. I became a big fan of the now-apparently-dormant Heroes Of The North a few years ago. A big part of their appeal and success, in my view, was that they were sharing their stories through multiple formats. I love that Chapterhouse is willing to utilize a variety of story-telling methods to get material out.
The scheduled release date is December 28th. I'm going to be clearing a little shelf space early in the new year.
Edit: This information wasn't available to me yesterday, but the novel is 160 pages and will be priced at $9.95.
