New Releases by Jay Baruchel

In a world of blood and cruelty, two teenagers find humanity in each other. Deep in the Canadian wilderness, a vicious cult, dedicated to an ideology of pain, trains children to become deadly assassins.

The only thing standing between them and happily ever after is an army of murderers with a taste for blood. Written by Jay Baruchel and Van Jensen, with art by Alessandro Micelli, Tear Us Apart shows just what lengths the human spirit will go to endure.

Boy and Girl are on the run from the death cult that spawned them, and as they venture into a town they discover all the wonders that 1993 has to offer. A mall! Christmas! "In Utero" by Nirvana!

Now for the bad news: They''re wounded and lost in a blizzard in the Canadian wilderness with wolves and a gang of murderers hot on their heels. Not great! Will they survive? Will they eat stew?

On leave from service in Afghanistan, Lt. Tom Evans went AWOL to pursue his brother Michael to the Arctic. Tom eventually found Michael at an alien crash site, and both brothers emerged transformed by the artifact buried there. Michael gained psychic abilities, and Tom gained heightened strength and the ability to manifest impenetrable red armor, becoming Captain Canuck! The brothers also received a warning: their powers came from the Borealis, who would come to judge the Earth. Now the Borealis have arrived, and Earth has been found wanting. Captain Canuck--and the rest of the Chapterverse--is all that stands between us and complete annihilation.

Jay Baruchel joins Chapterhouse to tell an epic origin story featuring Captain Canuck! "Sur Saray" is a story set during Tom Evans'' time serving in the Afghanistan war. Tom has returned to active duty after going AWOL to rescue his brother from Site ALEPH, but his unit, the PCE Squad is folded into an unscrupulous mercenary platoon. Frustrated by the injustices he''s witnessing on a daily basis, Tom begins slipping away by night, using his new powers to right the street-level wrongs the military is too unwieldy to effectively address.

Story 1 - With Central City overrun by rodents, the Flash sets out to collar the obvious culprit—but is the Scarlet Speedster’s assumption about the Pied Piper correct?

In Fever Pitch meets Anchor Boy, Montreal Canadiens superfan Jay Baruchel tells us why he loves the Habs no matter what It’s no secret that Jay Baruchel is a die-hard fan of the Montreal Canadiens. He talks about the team at every opportunity, wears their gear proudly in interviews and on the street, appeared in a series of videos promoting the team, and was once named honorary captain by owner Geoff Molson and Habs tough guy Chris Nilan. As he has said publicly, “I was raised both Catholic and Jewish, but really more than anything just a Habs fan.” In Born Into It, Baruchel’s lifelong memories as a Canadiens’ fan explode on the page in a collection of hilarious, heartfelt and nostalgic stories that draw on his childhood experiences as a homer living in Montreal and the enemy living in the Maple Leaf stronghold of Oshawa, Ontario. Knuckles drawn, and with the rouge, bleu et blanc emblazoned on just about every piece of clothing he owns, Baruchel shares all in the same spirit with which he laid his soul bare in his hugely popular Goon movies. Born Into It is a memoir unlike any other, and a book not to be missed.
