Moonstone Books – Jan Releases

 Today we received Moonstone Books January solicitations which seems to be a very solid line up. It impresses me who many books the publisher releases each month. Honey West continues her journey with another issue, The Spider begins his journey while the Green Hornet makes a guest appearance in the winter special of Captain Action. The all Canadian team continues with Northern Guard and finally the Black Bat mixes it up with it's pulp goodness.

NORTHERN GUARD #3 (of3)

Story: TY Templeton
Art: David Cutler
Cover: Jason Edmiston
40pgs, color, $3.99

There was a group of colorful heroes up in the frozen North of Canada. But these characters have never seen print in the United States.  Until now.

Moonstone’s ALL-CANADIAN creative team tells an all-new story, updating these characters, complete with added, never before seen reprints of classic tales!

Dwindling resources have led the world to the brink of war.  A device is set off that was meant to disarm all the radioactive material on Earth, but instead it plunges most of the planet into a permanent blackout.  A new, electricity-free Dark Age, from which there seems to be no escape.
All except for a one long stretch of North America -- a  hundred miles wide and three thousand miles long -- through Alaska, across Canada, and down to Detroit through to New York City.
