'Underworld' is at first disturbing but then this discomfort gives way to vicarious triumph over mental illness. Lovern Kindzierski has constructed a story of poignant layers and GMB Chomichuk's art is the perfect companion to the story's themes.

When does cynicism over-ride critical judgement? It’s a question that I consider very carefully as sometimes I’m not the right reader for a certain comic. But given my enjoyment of the medium I think sometimes I mistakenly believe that I will enjoy every comic. When I don’t, it tends to …

There are some good titles this week. It’s a short list but that just gives me the time to focus more and give them their due attention. That’s the problem with comics: sometimes there are so many good ones to read – who has the time? Well, fortunately, you’re in …

Did you ever look forward to lifting the Chance or Community Chest cards when you played Monopoly? That’s what this week’s big list is like. Lots of number ones from Marvel and a new title from Image. I liked those cards – it was an act of random discovery; something …

Pop Mythology's John K. Kirk interviews Jim Zub, writer and co-creator of 'Wayward' from Image Comics.

The comic delivery was delayed this week. It was Remembrance Day in Canada (Veterans’ Day in the States) and this Friday is Friday the 13th. That’s why you should always keep things simple. Sometimes things don’t work out so, keep things simple and they’ll be easy to fix in the …

MARVEL COMICS Star Wars #11 I’m leading with Marvel’s heavy hitters this week. I’m late – I know, but life gets n the way of even comes sometimes and starting off with Marvel’s best simply seems easier to begin this week’s review! But this issue is a complicated assortment of …

My pull list is a light one this week. With only one title from DC, four from Marvel and one from IDW, it makes me wonder what’s going on with DC. My prejudice notwithstanding, what is it about DC Comics that sees them a poor second to the House of …

Comics and sports are very similar with regards to the enthusiasts who follow them. True. That’s why you see sporting memorabilia sold at the same events where comic collectors can be found obsessing over their “got-its” and “need-its” to fill the holes in their collections. Whether it’s trading cards or …

Well, the city of Toronto is ecstatic with the Blue Jays’ victory over the Texas Rangers tonight. I don’t purport to be any sort of Baseball fan but I am a fan of Toronto. This city has so much to offer the world. As we’ve seen tonight, a major baseball …

Pop Mythology talked to legendary comic writer Garth Ennis about bringing back a classic WW II comic and the difference between American and British comics.

Marvel has the lion’s share of titles on this week’s list. It’s important to note that the bulk of them are number ones and the others are Star Wars books. It’s a transition month but the amount of Star Wars books are pretty much going to be the heavy sellers. …

Another brief list this week, though my comic supplier is informing me that next week is going to be a bit of a doozy. I’ve had it pretty easy for the last couple of weeks, but it’ll be a late night for me next week! But that’s life for you: …

Quality over quantity, right? That’s a hard concept for a glutton like me. Seriously – I had two lunches today. One that I prepared for myself (Beautiful ham sandwiches with aged cheddar cheese …) but then a retired colleague brought in a wonderful West Indies curry dish to touch base …

What’s on deck this week? A lot of Marvel titles, that’s what. Why? Well, sometimes there’s a tendency to   slam the “Big Two” comic publishers, saying that individual titles from the other lines like Image or IDW are defining what’s currently bold and trend-setting in the comic world. I can’t disagree with …
