Deadpan superhero fun. Would have liked to see where the comic could have gone.

That cover is awfully misleading.

While neither the art nor the story is well polished, the book is interesting and fun. I have been aware of Captain Canucks existence for many years, but this is the first time I have actually read one of the comics. My expectations were muted - I knew this was a small publisher, and I have read enough comics by small publishers over the years to know not to expect Marvel/DC quality. Unholy War was a very simple story, but it was not overly silly, it flowed well, and it made sense. There were less plot holes than the average comic, and I never felt like the book was treating me like I was too stupid to notice unrealistic or overly contrived situations. I will be getting more Captain Canuck to read.
