We Stand On Guard consists of six issues and is a creator-owned work.
We stand on guard deluxe hardcover edition review
Reception
CBC News reviewer Eli Glasner's positive review said the work was more "direct and visually explosive" than any prior comic book treatment of Canada-U.S. relations. Paste called it "intriguing, emotional and engaging enough to stand alone as a story". The collected edition earned a spot on The New York Times hardcover graphic books bestseller list.
