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 …

Okay … Fan Expo is done and while I enjoyed myself immensely, there were very few comic memories that I will take with me from this year. You need representative samples of two things for a successful comic guest list at a con: established artists with a long history who …

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 …
