It’s a Battle Royale between the two titans of comic publishing in this round-up. This week’s list is comprised exclusively of titles from DC and Marvel – well, with some collaboration from Dark Horse Comics. It may seem predictable but if you look at the top ten leading titles for …

There’s a theme for this week’s collection of titles. I’m a hierarchical type of thinker. I tend to think in patterns, trends or in some sort of thematic way. That formed the basis for this week’s list and it was fun pulling it all together. See if you can figure …

Welcome to the new year and a new week of comic-reading! I hope your celebrations were wonderful and now you’re ready for a happy new year of new beginnings! I fall into the pattern of affirming goals for the new year just like everyone does around this time of year. …

Another satisfying Christmas has passed and I find that this is the time for reflection of the past year’s events. What have I done, I suppose, if I were to quote John Lennon. I’m pretty pleased with the way that this column has shaped. We’ve covered a lot of titles, …

The comedy show 'But I'm Chris Jericho!' is now in its second season, and we got the chance to talk to its multi-talented renaissance man star, the eponymous Chris Jericho - actor, rock band lead singer, WWE wrestler, and podcast host.

When thinking of the dominant theme in the selection of comics for this week’s round-up, I am reminded of how solitary the act of reading comics is. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m lamenting my lot to read every publisher’s books on a weekly basis or issuing a call to …

'Happy!' is Syfy's TV adaptation of the comic by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson. Gritty, grim, and at times gruesome, this is a true-to-life realization of Morrison’s unapologetic style of storytelling and one of the best comic-to-TV adaptations I’ve ever seen.

The end of November always has such a feeling of anticipation for me. There’s an accelerated intensity as we get closer to the Christmas shopping season and the comic retailers add new products to their shelves. It’s a magical time that only seems to get better with every week of …

There are always moments in time you wish you could go back and change. It’s such a universal constant of the human condition and it makes for really good stories. This is a handy, because that’s exactly the theme for this week’s review of comic titles. Huh … who would …

In the course of reading the comics for this week, I gave some thought to the concept of being in a state of alarm and how it makes an impact on the way we learn. Yeah – heavy topic for a bunch of funnybooks, huh? Here’s the theory in a …
