The theme this week is hopeless battles and why we fight them. There’s a lot of reasons, and sure enough, they come up in this week’s selection of titles. I’ve got my own thoughts on the subject, but let’s get to them at the end of the list. IDW Publishing …

What’s the theme this week? Vengeance. Yep – straight up: that’s what really makes the world go ‘round, folks. That satisfying feeling of making someone pay for their crimes against you.

There are the two audiences a reboot has to successfully satisfy to succeed: the new fans who want something that fits within their present-day perspective and the older ones who want the acknowledgement of the show's influence on their lives. With 'Lost in Space,' Netflix has done both.

Any cause worth fighting for is worth reading about. Sometimes you have a cause – a belief in something bigger than yourself. It’s worth a battle even when people tell you to lay down. I’m about causes and about fighting. So that’s my take for this week’s review list. There …

You know, those closest to you can let you down. It’s sad, it’s sometimes painful but it’s also inevitable. Friends, to many folks’ surprise can be jerks. Remember Kitty Pryde’s famous line? That’s a universal experience that writers draw upon. It makes for the most poignant of dramas and the …

Pop Mythology's Captain John K. Kirk sat down with actor Allan Hawco to talk about his rogue's life as David Slaney in CBC's crime drama 'Caught.'

Though these are all subjective things, sometimes there are some universal constants that we can all agree upon. So, this week, we’re looking for expectations in the picks for this week. …

In today’s day and age, the concept of milestones or rites of passage have pretty much faded in comprehension. For the most part, the youth of today really don’t see the point in upholding the same traditional observances as their parents. Technology can be blamed for this, in part, but …

Stories that emphasize the value of a character’s role in a story setting have always been enjoyable reads, to my mind. There’s something about the concept of an almost predestined character that is not only true to their inner-self and motivation but also to the flavour of the book they …

It’s important to know who’s there for you, and likewise, to let those people in your lives that you are there for them. Relationships are not only clearly important in life, but they are key in writing a successful comic. The chemistry between characters is of paramount importance in order …
