Nordik by Michael Dooney
We love the way Michael Dooney draws babes here at HOTN Central - that is no secret. So it is no surprise to anyone that we asked him to draw Nordik (VanessaBlouin). What surprised us is the amazing drawing he sent us! Complete with Northern Lights, polar bears and a most intricate hairdo, the mysterious mistress of the north truly shines here! Heck, even his polar bears are sexy!
Nordik Team-up now online!

It has been a long time coming but we are very happy to present our latest comic book, a team-up between Nordik (Vanessa Blouin) and 8 Ball (Anderson Bradshaw), written by Yann Brouillette and masterfully penciled and inked by David J. Culter and coloured and lettered by Keiren Smith - with covers by Joel Adams, Donald Caron and Michael Dooney! While it keeps the dark tone our comics are known for, it is a radical departure in style compared to our other offerings so far and we are very excited to find out what our fans think of it. Do not hesitate to rate and comment - your feedback is very valuable to us!
Nordik by Isherwood
Geof Ishwerwood is currently hard at work on the Second Heroes of the North Omnibus cover. Today he sent us a sample of a work in progress on the character of Nordik.

Figurines update and Monthly Promotion
Just in time for Christmas, don’t miss our current Monthly Promotion! Only ten bundles are left. We are not making any more for the foreseeable future so if you wanted the pack, now is the time to get it!
We are awaiting incessantly the arrival of the second batch of figurines, bar any customs problems like last time - we all have our fingers crossed over here! We are especially curious to see the Nordik figurine as it is the one we got the most ambitious with the LED effects. We should have some pictures to show you sometime next week. But in the meantime, you can have a look at the temp ones:
It currently appears that we will get the figurines in three distinct batches, because of container allocations. The first two to arrive should be Nordik and 8 Ball. Those who have made pre-orders will get them as we receive them, no extra charge for shipping.
The figurines that we receive will go into the main figurines sell page as they become in stock and disappear from the pre-order page.
Obviously, those who pre-ordered have shipping priority. Since we produce these in limited quantities, we ship them on a first come, first served basis.

Nordik Wallpaper
The third of our brand new (and long awaited!) series of FREE WALLPAPERS is out in five fantabulous formats!!! It features Nordik, as it was decided by a poll of fans who participated in an impromptu poll we held on our Facebook page. You can still vote for your favourite character to be turned into a wallpaper! IN the meantime, enjoy the stunning Nordik photo taken by Sergio Rico!
Heroes of the North, Archie Style!
You cannot be a fan of superhero comics and not be at least remotely aware of Archie Comics. Heck, our old pal Archie Andrews even had a run-in with the Punisher, no less! So to have a rendition of some of the HOTN characters Archie-style was definitely a no-brainer.
Dan Parent, writer and illustrator of several Archie Comics books, and more specifically creator of Kevin Keller, the first openly gay character in Riverdale, has agreed to do a cover for an upcoming comic book currently entitled Zombots getting schooled by Yann Brouillette. We met the groundbreaking writer and artist at the MegaCON in Orlando this March and we must say that it has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with the man, not to mention his Canadian (and more specifically Quebec) Connection.
The fun-filled cover is ready and features The Canadian, Fleur-de-Lys and Nordik. It is our pleasure to show it to you in all its glory:

The comic will not be online for a little while however as we have to release a Fleur-de-Lys and a Hornet story before that but you can also view the piece in higher resolution from our newly revamped Galleries or procure it from our store as a reproduction.
Episode 12: Crimson coming May 2nd!
Those of you who read or subscribe to our Newsletter are already aware that the long awaited Episode 12: Crimson is finally coming out on May 2nd, just in time for Election Day here in Canada!
We had to postpone the release of the episodes for a variety of reasons, in no particular order: sickness, website revamp, and the Canadian weather which has prevented us from shooting a few remaining scenes to complete the bulk of Season One. The weather is still not playing nice but it is coming to an end (hopefully!), so we will be able to resume shooting soon, the website revamp is almost finished and we are healthy again! So we are back on track and roaring to go!
For those who have not yet done so, we highly recommend reading the Crimson comic BEFORE watching the episode.
Episode 12 features Bianca Beauchamp as the deadly Crimson, an assassin for hire working for the duplicitous Masquerade (Pia Metni). However, Crimson and her wolf, Lupa, will find Nordik (Vanessa Blouin) on their path of destruction... Be ready for quite a fight on May 2nd! It will not only be limited to the ballots!
