Super Canucks<\/b>: An anthology of small-town Canadian superheroes<\/b><\/figure>\n
Coming Fall 2025<\/b><\/figure>\n
We\u2019re looking for stories from across Canada that push the usual superhero tropes while shining a spotlight on unique corners of Canada. We want stories set in and around the nation\u2019s more often overlooked locales\u2014isolated small towns, remote reservations, bedroom communities, and other underrepresented areas of Canada. Give us rural superheroes, backwater supervillains, and tales of characters\/communities at a crossroads.How does place impact your character? Are they unable to reconcile their superpowers with their residence or is it the people who pose the problem? Does your hero struggle to maintain a secret identity where everyone knows everyone or do they find that familiarity weirdly comforting given the challenges of being superpowered?<\/b><\/figure>\n
