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 …

'Smoke' is a wordless, socially conscious comic that looks at the hidden price of our society's addiction to Nicotiana tabacum through the lens of surreal fantasy.

In 'Schmuck' the late Seth Kushner lays open his foibles and embarrassments for all to see (and laugh over). The results are a hilarious yet poignant portrait of life and love in the Big Apple.

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 …

Rather than weigh itself down with the logical quandaries of its genre, 'Chrononauts,' like its heroes, just has itself a grand ol' time. And so do we.

Come December, Marvel will have a new Hulk, a Korean-American Hulk.

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 …

'Yi Soon Shin: Warrior and Defender' is the best fictional treatment in the English language of one of the greatest military strategists in world history.

'Starlight' starts by building pathos for one of Mark Millar's best characters and then takes us on a rambunctious sci-fi pulp adventure. It's wonderful.

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 …

While I wouldn't recommend 'Oemnibus' as an introduction to Michael Avon Oeming's work, for those who are already fans it's a worthy collection to own.

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, …

Wizard World, Inc. and Skybound, Robert Kirkman’s imprint at Image Comics, today announced that Bishop creator Whilce Portacio has drawn the 13th in a yearlong series of Limited Edition Exclusive Variant Covers of The Walking Dead #1 comic, to be provided free to all full-price attendees at Wizard World Comic …

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.

As with all Humble Bundles you can name your price, get tons of comics and support charity with the Dungeons & Dragons Humble Bundle.
