Just what in the forgotten wastelands of Comic-dom am I going to write about this week? If you’ve been following my weekly column, I decide upon a theme and select Wednesday comics that fit that theme as my pull list for the week. This week, it’s a bit of a …

Life can be so complicated sometimes. If anyone ever asks you about the secret of life, it’s prioritization. In order to do the things we want to do, we have to finish what we have to do first. It seems overly simple, but you’d be surprised how easy it is …

Pop Mythology contributor John Kirk interviews one of the most popular comic book writers today, Tom King, former CIA officer and family man extraordinaire.

'The Magic Order' #4 arrives just in time to get the Halloween season off to a deliciously gloomy start.

I’m into mindless, blind rage this week. It’s been a bad week at work and I’ve lost my favourite fountain pen. So, I’m hoping there will be some stories for me to sink my teeth into and vicariously enjoy as I desperately need some vicious payback. Sometimes, I’m a petty, …

Pop Mythology's John K. Kirk got the chance to speak with one of the foremost names in comics art, Bill Sienkiewicz, about his distinctive work and career.

The best thing I get to do in the convention season is sit on panels with some of the creators I write about, and there’s plenty more opportunities coming up. Last week in Boston (at Fan Expo Boston) I hosted a panel of indy creators featuring Andy Belanger, Rob Guillory …
