Unlike DC, Marvel doesn’t really have many Canadians working for them, and those that are this month are represented mostly in covers and trade paperbacks.
Exceptions being “Stalwart” Stuart Immonen (New Avengers) and “Leaping” Leonard Kirk (New Mutants).
Not sure what happened to the solicitation for the Tom Grummett illustrated Chaos War: Dead Avengers #1.

An older version of Franklin Richards travels from the future with an ominous warning for his younger sister Valeria: a conflict is approaching, a clash between four extraordinary cities.

In the fabled Blue Area of the moon, a king girds his people for war. And in the Negative Zone, strange and deadly creatures prepare for conquest. Thrust into the center of this conflict are Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing — a legendary family, a group of heroes sworn to protect humanity while expanding the limits of knowledge and adventure. Side-by-side with new allies and confronted with menacing foes, it’s the Fantastic Four as they prepare for the War of the Four Cities! Collecting FANTASTIC FOUR #575-578.

Hi Kevin!
Steve Rogers: Super Soldier is a 4-issue mini, so by November it will have wrapped up (issue 4 comes out October 20).
By the way, I will SO miss going to Fan Expo… :-(
Take care,
Louise
Hi Louise!
Thanks for pointing that out — I’ve fixed the post to reflect that.
We’ll definitely miss you and Dale at Fan Expo, but I’ll see you guys two weeks later in Montreal as I’m going to be helping Oscar and Alex out with the Montreal Comic-Con.
Thanks,
Kevin
Yay! Glad to hear we can catch up there. Anyone else from the Toronto gang going?
Louise
