Oh. My. God. Anon, are you reading my mind?! I feel exactly the same sentiment. I would love a modern reboot that kept all the golden-age cheese and nixed the '40s-era racism. It would be really, really nice.

Probably never going to happen, though.

Actually - one thing that could be really cool would be an animated cartoon version of Nelvana. And since Nelvana (the Canadian animation company) owns the rights to Nelvana (the character), it isn't an entirely out-there idea, even though it's not likely to happen.

What is this and where can I read it?

Nelvana of the Northern Lights, the first Canadian superhero! All the comics have been collected into a single hardcover volume.

It's fun as long as you're able to look past all the old-timey racism. Unfortunately there's quite a lot of that, as a side-effect of being written and set it WWII.

(Not OP)

It's a Canadian superheroine comic from the 1940s. A few years ago, there was a kickstarter project to restore the comics and republish them. You can read about it at the website, and they also have part of the first story up to read for free. The ebook shop seems to be down right now though (? Not sure what's going on there).

Anyway, it's pretty cool if you like cracktastic golden age comics, and I like Nelvana a lot as a character. But it also has a lot of the downsides typical of comics of that era.

This is a good dream, OP.

Grimdark is on the way out. Possibly in multiple media. Grimdark ruined the Fantastic Four reboot and made it a colossal flop this weekend. I am enjoying the universal disdain for this thing and hope it kills all grimdark until we get people who know when, where, and how to use it.

I'd never heard of Nelvana before I saw your secret, but now I want that to happen too!
