In 2016 Auroraman made his first appearance on the Canadian comic book scene to and overwhelming show of support! In the time since Issue #0 debuted it has been a fantastic wave of appearances. The initial print run of 650 issues completely sold out and a second print run had to happen. The second printing has a variation on the first cover as well as some new content and is seeing high demand as well! 2016 also saw Auroraman appear in 5 mini-comics (4-12 pages in length), as well as a handful of single page comic strips. Media interest has been strong right from the start with coverage from outlets like; 107.5 Bolt Fm, Hey! Kids Comics radio show, CBC radio, CBC.ca, CTV Saskatoon, Global Saskatoon as well as numerous other online blogs and new sites. All this coverage has helped this prairies centric comic book across the whole country and beyond!

Axiom-man … One night, Gabriel Garrison was visited by a nameless messenger who bestowed upon him great power, a power intended for good. Once discovering what this power was and what it enabled him to do, Gabriel became Axiom-man, a symbol of hope in a city that had none.
Presently, Axiom-man’s world is on the verge of descending into total darkness at the hands of Redsaw. His personal life is also a mess and he’s barely managing to keep life as he knows it from collapsing, both for himself and for the planet. The last thing he needs is to suddenly be sucked into a parallel universe to tackle a new foe. But, perhaps, with Auroraman’s help, the two can work together to find the Cobalt Crusader a way home before chaos reigns supreme in both their universes.
