    Hello,

    This is A.P. Fuchs, Canadian writer and artist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Welcome to my main blog where superheroes, monsters, horror, and Pop Culture reign supreme. I’m a veteran indie author, cartoonist, publisher, and freelancer in the realms of books and comics, and have been wearing all those hats for the past quarter century. You have arrived at Canister X, my official blog and the Realm of Heroes and Monsters, where we’re back to making more digital content for your consumption.

    My Patreon page is located here. It’s a very awesome nook on the Web where I post serial novels, serial comics, essays and articles on the creative arts business, behind-the-scenes secrets, artwork, photos, and more. Join me and my other patrons and be a part of something fun and interesting with regular content. Check out the fun trailer for the page.

    I’m also the writer and artist behind the webcomic, Fredrikus, a dystopian sci-fi about an anthropomorphic dog, which you can read from the beginning here.

    On Saturdays, I send out my newsletter, The Canister X Transmission. It’s a free weekly newsletter where we all come together after seven days, take a breather, regroup, and head into the weekend. Right now, we are writing Year Seven which has the general theme of fluidity. Join myself and my readers and fans of fandom. I love the fan community as it’s the best bunch of people to be part of, both physically and virtually. It’s utterly the homeland.

  • Status Report – 120224

    status report 120224

    Status Report – 120224:

    The main driver creative workwise these days is catch-up. I’m not dreadfully behind, but behind enough that it’s a bother, but I’m more behind in the business side of this industry than the creative part. After all, about 10% of this stuff is the making of it; the other 90% is running it.

    We had hoped to end the year with the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy. For those who missed the news in my newsletter, all is in order except for a couple items outside anybody’s control. So, in terms of the creator keeping his end of the bargain, this has been done. It terms of others, not so much so we’re in a temporary holding pattern. I have a plan if this holding pattern continues as I don’t want it to push the trilogy way down the timeline. The odds of finishing 2024 with the trilogy release are pretty much nil but very early in the New Year is completely possible and doable.

    Still, we got three books out this year (with a possible fourth up in the air, an Eventual Book): AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, and THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX.

    Now that I’m dealing with a layoff from work, I won’t have to pull double duty and work both this job and the other one. So far, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been able to get a good chunk of rest in and also make some solid headway in publishing-related items that were more “pick at” projects before due to the limited hours.

    A list is made and is being worked through. More stuff is being added to the list as I think of it. This is a longview program, meaning I’m giving myself three months to complete the items. All things being equal, three months is more than what’s required but you never know what might come up, like our logistics issue with the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy.

    All right, I need to do something I’ve been putting off solely due to time.

    Last, a special Patreon index is coming to the blog. The idea is it’ll help you find items and navigate the Patreon page with ease right here at the blog. This will give you the chance to check out some content as well as consider joining the Patreon journey.

    By the way, it’s Minifigure Monday here on 120224 and an amazing 1989 Batman is on the docket.

    Enjoy.

    This has been your Status Report for 120224.

  • Summer 2024 Content Schedule

    Summer 2024 Content Schedule

    summer 2024 content schedule

    Since we’re now heading into summer, this is just a quick announcement to say that the content on this site won’t be as regular as usual, likewise for my other social platforms. The big reason is we’re on major deadline for the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy for THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA, the second-biggest reason being I have some holiday time coming up and that will take away from entertaining you guys and, in the interest of self-care, it’s a good idea for me to just produce on a casual basis until the fall.

    We all need to recharge our batteries now and then.

    But, again, don’t worry. There will be content, but following the YEAR SEVEN model of fluidity versus a stringent schedule.

    Be sure to check back here often. You never know what might pop up and catch your interest.

    Have a great summer. Hope you like the Summer 2024 Content Schedule!

    Cheers.

  • Vortex Books and Comics

    Vortex Books and Comics

    vortex books and comics logo

    All right, folks, listen up. I’m late to the party but horror authors Brian Keene and Mary SanGiovanni opened up a comic and book store in Columbia, PA called Vortex Books and Comics.

    If you’re in the area, head down and support a couple of writers displaying their passion for the written word through sharing books and comics with others.

    Brian has been a long-standing figure in the field and has won numerous awards. Mary is also a prolific author with several books under her belt. I know that this store effort is going to be one fueled with passion and opportunity to reach readers in a way that perhaps they might not have been reached before. Better, it’s an independent author-friendly store with little-known quality titles awaiting discovery.

    I’m really excited to see where this bookstore endeavor goes, and Brian’s no dummy. I trust his business sense to make the store a success. And besides, I’m pretty sure Mary will keep him in check should he smoke too many cigars and starts talking about how he just met The Defenders.

    Address:

    477 Locust St
    Columbia, PA 17512

    Hours:

    Monday — Closed
    Tuesday — Closed
    Wednesday — 10am to 7pm
    Thursday — 10am to 7pm
    Friday — 10am to 7pm
    Saturday — 10am to 7pm
