This has been a busy week. I mean, I have a full-time job as a teacher, which has to take priority, right? But this week saw a series of articles about Jim Shooter (generously praised by Mark Millar), my Epic, Illustrated article go out in Back Issue #88 and then a …

Dave Dorman’s a lucky guy. I mean, the talent notwithstanding, it’s the subject choice that he gets to work with that makes any card-carrying geek seethe with envy. Do you remember back the amazing cross-over event Marvel ran with its Star Wars titles just before the New Year? I’m not …

I met former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Jim Shooter… and I shut up, I listened and I learned. I didn’t meet him the usual way that I normally meet comic book celebrities. I didn’t go to a con, approach his table, shake his hand and then get him to sign something. No, for this one …

It’s March Break for all of the students in this city, but even though I’m not in school, it’s a busy week for me. I’m prepping to run two panels at Fan Expo Canada’s Comicon in Toronto this weekend. Yup – I’ll be running a panel for Suicide Squad creator, …

Ultra short review this week. Why? Because when you have things in abundance, you grow to lose appreciation for them. When they are in short supply – you love them more. Well, that’s the official story I’m sticking to. Image Comics Jupiter’s Circle V2 #4 A good read. I’ve grown …

Here's an exciting look at the upcoming sci-fi adventure series 'Empress' by Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen to be published by Marvel's ICON imprint in April.

Great to be back in the saddle again! After a week’s enforced vacation from comic reading, I’m eager to get going! (I blame it on domesticity! But … shhh; let’s keep that a secret, shall we?) Image Comics Citizen Jack #4 With Donald Trump’s bid for presidency, this is a …

Pop Mythology spoke with Marc Andreyko, writer of 'Wonder Woman 77,' about Lynda Carter, the feminism and humanism of the 70s TV show, and creating a comic that could do justice to both.
