None of the comics I’m currently reading are represented at this year’s Fan Expo in Toronto. This is a late post, I have to apologize to my loyal readers. As I mentioned in last week’s review, it’s comic season for all Toronto’s – and Canada’s, for that matter – largest …

Another lead-in to Fan Expo here in Toronto … it’s happening next week, after all. I was contemplating the nature of comic book artists and writers and why we want to meet them so badly. They’re a different breed of celebrity compared to the movie stars and television actors that …

J.G. Hertzler spoke to Pop Mythology about 'Star Trek: Axanar,' his role as Captain Travis and how Travis is cut from the same cloth as Martok the Klingon.

We’re about two weeks away from what is arguably Canada’s biggest comic show: Fan Expo. Many of the artists and writers I’ll mention in past postings have been there. I usually hope to run into one or two, look at their work or show my appreciation. For example, Stuart Immonen, …

Why do the “bad” people succeed in life? You know who I’m talking about. You find them everywhere don’t you? In the workplace, school, or when you’re driving home from somewhere.

Yeah, it’s late … I know. I had to take the family on vacation. The road of the family man is a hard one, especially when it gets in the way of pursuing your interests! But, sitting poolside, monitoring the little ones gave me room to pause and wax philosophically …

Super heroes aren’t doing it for comics any more. Seriously … when’s the last time a super hero comic really grabbed public attention? For me, Moon Knight is my choice, but even still, I find that it’s an exception to the rule and I’m drawn to more non-super hero books …

Pop Mythology's John Kirk sat down to interview Richard Hatch about the highly-awaited film 'Star Trek: Axanar' and, among other things, the art of success.

It’s a beautiful summer night; the evening weather is inviting and, of course, that makes it a perfect night to sit back with a cold one and escape into the world of comics. What are we reading tonight? Well, it’s a short list this week, which is not surprising. After …

It’s the variety of comics that I look forward to every week. Super heroes, adventurers, and others are representations of literature figures that entertain me or make me look at the world in different ways. I mean, how many times have you considered a moral dilemma from the perspective of …

It’s time for San Diego Comic Con … and I’m not there. I’m a comic guy, a Trekkie, a classic geek and nerd in both uses of the words and I’m not at Comic Con. Well, I’m also a dad, a teacher and I have responsibilities that get in the …

Happy Canada Day! Yup, as I write this, my family is fast asleep after a busy day of picking strawberries, making jam and watching fireworks in celebrating the 148th birthday of this great nation! I stole some strawberries, watched some fireworks but then I had comics to read. Yup … …

'The Loxleys and Confederation' makes a difficult subject clear, relevant and interesting. It’s a perfect resource for history teachers and a great piece of comic art that tells a poignant and dramatic story allowing readers to see why Canada is such a great country.

It’s a pretty light list this week, which is somewhat anti-climactic as it’s also the end of the school year. I was sort of hoping that there would be this grandiose list to relaxingly read through, basking in the joy of an empty classroom as my graduates have moved on …

Busy days in in the comic word this week. Marvel’s Battleworld is in full swing, and is the new lens through which we view Marvel’s comics these days. As Doom is the central axis point on which the new Marvel universe revolves, we have to remember that it is through …
