Pop Mythology is pleased to present, courtesy of Marvel, your first look at STAR WARS #8.

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 …

'Mice Templar' is nearing the conclusion of its eight year run, and Bryan J. Glass and Michael Oeming have created a modern mouse mythology for the ages.

If you collected comics during the 80s and 90s you might remember some really cheesy comic-music crossovers like the embarrassing Nightcat.  But comics have certainly inspired music quite a bit, particularly the genre of hip-hop where songs often make various kinds of references to comic book characters (“Homie I’ll be …

BOOM! Studios, is celebrating 10 years of David Petersen’s beloved 'Mouse Guard' in 'The Art of Mouse Guard: 2005-2015.'

'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 …

You know, after the whole Convergence splash, we really haven’t seen very many reverberations in the universe.

'Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows' #1 struck me on such a visceral level that I was overwhelmingly moved by it.

Comics reviewed this week: Convergence #8, Infinity Gauntlet #1, Secret Wars Journal #1, and many more.
