BOING BOING - "a self-contained, rocketing, aggressively readable, gripping graphic novel in the BK Vaughan tradition." THESTAR.COM -- It's 100 years in the future and Canada is under attack from its greatest enemy: the United States of America. This is We Stand On Guard, the utterly delicious tale of a plucky group of ordinary Canadians facing up to U.S. aggression in a futuretech battlefest that can't possibly disappoint anyone with an adventurous spirit and a concerned eye on Donald Trump. The fun aspect is obvious, but the adventure is part of the cleverness of Vaughan, the award-winning writer of so many other amazing things. He's made so many rewarding books, especially space opera Saga, with Calgary's Fiona Staples, and the wide-ranging apocalyptic adventure Y The Last Man, with Pia Guerra. In this version, We Stand On Guard gets the deluxe hardcover treatment, collecting all six weekly comic issues and including bonus material like new sketches. It's been compared to Y The Last Man, and that's reason enough to get it. AIPT! - "a fascinating, well-told, well-drawn story that many readers won't even realize is taking so many risks." CBD - "direct and visually explosive"
