review:
'Captain Canuck Vol. 1: Aleph' by Kalman Andrasofszky with art by Leonard Kirk and Adam Gorham is a reboot of the 1970s series. It was much anticipated, but it's just a hot mess.

When we meet Captain Canuck and his support team, they are responding to an emergency call in a gold mining operation. When they get there, they find that people have been turned into some sort of gold zombies from touching the gold. Captain Canuck's suit protects him from this somehow. We find out that the villain behind this is Mr. Gold.

We also get flashbacks about Captain Canuck's origins. Sort of. It's all confusing as to what his powers are and what he does. He seems to be a sort of human shield that refuses to shoot anything, which is fine, but he has an ace sniper on his team, so that sends a weird mixed message. I'm hoping volume 2 clears some of this up a bit more.

The art is not impressive. It's blocky and not really fun to look at.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Chapterhouse Publishing, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
