The final issue in the series. Amber is on board an American ship with explosives strapped to her body and holding a detonator. "The American" attempts to negotiate with Amber to prevent anything explosive happening. Outside, the Canadian resistance movement continues to keep the Americans at bay.
I was saddened to find out that the sixth issue of We Stand On Guard would be the final issue. I don't know if this was the original plan as the comic book felt very rushed. I feel there was more to be told and the end felt very abrupt.
All in all I did enjoy the series and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys comics that are violent and even a bit humorous. The characters were likable and their enemies were the type you could really dislike, even if though they were, in their minds, doing their jobs.
At only $2.99 per issue, We Stand On Guard is not an expensive collection to put together and you wouldn't have to wait for the trade paperback. I have a feeling that when the trade comes out, people will buy it and wonder why this book wasn't given a larger issue run. Perhaps it was truly by design. I will say this, purchasing the actual comic books is how the writers and artists keep their jobs. By the time trades come out, the book could already be done.
