Life gets in the way of life. It’s a common thing for a lot of people, I think. There are those amongst us who drive themselves crazy trying to keep up with the many demands that our lives exact from us, while there are others who also push themselves to …

The way I saw things this week, the prominent message was perseverance. Life rarely works out the way you want it. If it does, it’s a blessing; take it and run like a thief in the night. However, if it shouldn’t, then those are the breaks, kids and you need …

Yeah, it’s a perfect Star Trek storm this week with all of IDW’s Trek titles hitting the shelves all at once. While this would have delighted the adolescent in me, the grizzled comic veteran now has to pick from his favourite children. Oh, boo-hoo. The Star Trek and comic geek …

It’s an exclusive DC week this week. I have to say, this is a reflection of the level of quality DC puts out on a weekly basis. When I consider the fact that not only did their talent pool get me back into reading perennial titles like Superman, Batman and …

Tuesday is the day in the week when one stands upon a precipice of hope, but the middle of the week offers little respite to the dreary-minded simply holding out for the weekend. To the rescue? This week’s selection of comics. Every weekend I curate a list of books that will …

I love stories – always have. Whether they were read to me at an early age or I grew skilled enough to decipher them on my own, I have always been fascinated by the power of creative thought. I think, though, that awe has contributed to a mental laziness on …

Here we go again, folks. It’s another great week of comics and here’s a selection that you could look forward to reading to as we dwell in the dog days of summer. IDW Comics Real Science #6 I want to like this … but I can’t get past the art. …

There are some moments at comic conventions that completely go unappreciated and overlooked. Fan Expo Canada was like that. While there were some things that didn’t work out for me this past weekend, there were still some moments that were priceless and memorable and needed to recognized. I was actually …

It promises to be a week of wonders! Fan Expo Canada 2017 is about to begin in a couple of days from now and Yours Truly is getting himself ready to host a number of panels at this immense comic convention, in addition to the myriad of interviews that will …

'Amazing Tales of the Wasted Lands' is a serial-based book that is set out to re-define the concept of “pulp-fiction” stories that used to capture the imaginations and fantasies of many a young fan.

I think the most worthwhile thing about writing this column is that I’m not restricted to reading one milieu. Variety really is the spice of life and it’s what makes life interesting. I read a variety of comics and while I enjoy the super-hero genre, I also enjoy comics that …

I think the key to a successful series is intrigue. While a cliffhanger is a cheap way to simulate the genuine desire to follow a story through, it’s an easy write. It’s quick and it’s over fairly quickly. A real intrigue has mood and a slow burn, but not too …

My God, there’s a lot in this week’s list to get excited about. There’s an overwhelming amount of talent on display – enviable talent, and one of the problems I encounter in writing this column is that it’s easy to be stunned by that talent. After all, these are people who …

DC Comics Action Comics #984 Not the definite conclusion I was expecting out of this arc but an enjoyable one nonetheless. I have to confess, I like the concept of opposing families. Now Zod has a family to match Superman’s, so there are parallel storylines in Superman’s future. This last …

Howard Chaykin, never one to shy away from controversial subjects, talks to Pop Mythology's John K. Kirk about the controversy over his latest work, 'Divided States of Hysteria.'
