Canadian Shield
Nathan Fillion as Canadian Shield?
02/11/12 11:51
We are getting a ton of traffic on our Canadian Shield comic and episodes from the United States for the last few days - and lots of Google search on Canadian Shield and it seems to be linked to the fact that Canadian actor Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle) posted a picture of his Halloween costume a few days ago. That picture was also posted on our Facebook wall by a couple of our people in the know on this page already and everyone seems to think he was impersonating our character. We have no idea if it is the case, it seems doubtful because the look is quite different, and it is an easy parody anyways - heck, that is what we did too - but it is pretty funny nevertheless. The wonders of the interweb never cease…
In any case, Mr. Fillion’s costume is all kinds of awesome!Comments

And here is the Heroes of the North Montreal Comicon appearances:
All three days, all hours: Hornet (Marie-Claude Bourbonnais), Alpha Q (Yann Brouillette), Black Terror (John Fallon).
Friday (all hours), end of day Saturday (3 PM until 7 PM) and Sunday (3 PM until 5 PM): 8 Ball (Anderson Bradshaw).

We will have an exclusive Heroes of the North Omnibus 2 printed especially for the Comicon, on higher quality paper, and with a different cover than the one that will be in stores.
It will also have a different binding and a bonus story not found anywhere else. It will be expensive a little because it is a limited run of 100 - but if you preordered the book from us, bring your receipt with you and you will only pay the difference!
Be there or be square!

Canadian Shield Prophylactics (Condoms)
16/07/11 17:11
We are never short of ideas over here at Heroes of the North Central. And we are known from not shying away from weirdness, oddities and other directions some would not venture into. So we had a good laugh initially when a fellow filmmaker suggested we made condoms as promo items for the show. Just making condoms made little sense. But using it in the context of World War II era propaganda against venereal diseases and using the Canadian Shield logo and name for the brand... That was a step we did not hesitate to make. Just because it is so darn funny. Here are some of our very real, actual, honest to goodness WII propaganda inspirations.
They are coming, folks. Pun intended. Keep an eye out in the store for the Limited Edition Collector’s Edition Canadian Shield Prophylactics... We extensively tested our first test batch. They are ready for prime time. They will be ready for Fan Expo. Get them while they last!

Fleur-de-Lys Comic Layouts!
09/07/11 23:04
We received the layouts for the Fleur-de-Lys: Blooming comic which is drawn, colored and lettered by Olivier Raymond (who also did our vintage style Canadian Shield cover illustration for the Canadian Shield comic). We were literally blown away by the work so far and we are pretty excited by this comic which shows a little more in-depth the trial and tribulations of Fleur-de-Lys and her brothers, now and in the past. It is a great story by Yann Brouillette that is bound to leave no one indifferent, and the stunning work by Olivier Raymond is only bringing this comic to the next level, making it one of the best ones in the HOTN series so far, on par with the Crimson comic, if we may say so ourselves. We cannot wait to show you this one but in the meantime, as usual, here’s a look at the rough layouts to wet your appetite.
