There are no cape-wearing beavers or Mounties in armoured battle suits. But there is poutine. At least in passing.
This week marks the debut of the Justice League of Canada – or to use its new and more inclusive moniker, Justice League United – a continuation/spinoff of DC Comics’ Justice League of America series, scripted by Toronto comic book phenom Jeff Lemire and set largely right here in in our own sprawling back yard.
Canadian superheroes, eh? Well, yes and no.
The scene-setting prologue issue Justice League United No. 0, now on comic book store shelves and available for download via the Comixology app, introduces us to a reimagined Adam Strange, a University of Toronto anthropology professor who has uncovered a mystery (and lost his assistant) during a dig in northern Ontario.
