John Barrowman, star of 'Doctor Who,' 'Torchwood,' and 'Arrow,' is a veteran of TV but talks to us about his new role—in a graphic novel.

The final comic review of the year. It’s late but it’s the holiday season and to be honest, during a lockdown, I also really don’t feel like getting out of my pajamas! Still, in order to give the day a sense of order and positivity, I have to think of …

You have to appreciate innovation. Given that we are all locked into a blank calendar of no expectations, when a comic comes around that does something that no one has ever seen before, then not only is it a welcome break from the day-today monotony of COVID-influenced boredom, but it’s …

Acting without thinking is normally not a good course of action, but sometimes, you gotta fall back on unmitigated rage to see yourself through a situation. I mean, this week, though it’s only the middle, has seen a great source of rage and in all honesty, it was unbridled anger, …

I think the most endearing value of the Star Wars franchise has been the heroes. We’ve seen the relationships between these heroes over the course of its 43-year expanse. The best stories include closer examinations of those relationships – the friendship between Han and Chewie, the love between Leia and …

I’m hardly what you might call a cat lover. I prefer the stable and honest predictability of a dog’s companionship over the fickleness of a feline personality. If cats could talk, their tone would be condescending; their manner would involve forced tolerance and their attitude would be a demanding one. …

Back in March, the common perspective around us began to take on an extremity of panicked proportions. In fact, there were post-apocalyptic jokes being thrown around social media that this virus was going to herald the beginning of the end of the world as we knew it. That accounted for …

I ask myself this almost every morning: what is the most important thing I will do today? In that regard, I’m setting myself up for telling a story, and one that I hope will end well by the end of the day. We all have importance in our everyday adventures. …

It’s a fandom-filled review list this week as we explore comic representations of some of the greatest franchises to entertain fans in the last fifty to sixty years! Of course, we’re talking about the viscerally nostalgic impact of Warhammer followed up by a double-punch combination of Star Wars and Star …

I like my villains dramatic and grandiose. In 1977, Star Wars gave us a perfect cinematic villain on a scale that hearkened back to the early days of film-making. The villains in the old Republic (Heh … just caught a pun there) serials were also rich in their menace. They …

If you’ve been following this column for a while, you’ll see that my modus operandi is pretty much the same thing every week. Comics are a major part of my life, and with the exception of a lost decade, they always have been. Because of that relationship, I like to …

The way we appreciate a good story is to connect it to the things that are going on in our daily lives. We see conflict, characters and settings and we can’t help but relate them to the things that happen all around us. That’s the case with Conan the Barbarian …

One of my greatest gaming victories was a Games Workshop board game by the name of Adeptus Titanicus. Giant robots and futuristic warriors and weapons fighting in a future 40, 000 years in the future. In the real world though, painted plastic toys that you assemble yourself to create armies. …

Season Two of The CW's 'Pandora' is here, and we had a chance to talk with writer/showrunner Mark Altman about what lies in store.

I find that with trying to adjust to the new norm these days, my mind incorporates a daily changing array of ear worms. You know, when you have that ONE song stuck on continuous loop playing in the back of your mind all day? It can be a bit irritating, …
