It’s getting to the end of the school year. I tell my students that the biggest detriment to a successful year is a negative attitude. But, attitude can be divided into so many different layers that it’s important to recognize them in order to remove them from one’s mindset. There …

A decent start to the miniseries that hints at a large conflict, but uses tired humor that offers little to the overall story.

Hey, everyone! I thought I’d take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Kevin (aka Doctor Comics) and I’ve just joined the Pop Mythology comic review team. You may already be familiar with the amazing Captain John K. Kirk’s weekly comic roundups. Adding to his reviews, I’ll also be …

New beginnings are always important in life. I’m not really one for change though, so I’m probably running the risk of sounding hypocritical here, yet I see the dividends in my friends’ lives when they decide upon this course of action. However, it has to be carefully planned out; It’s …

While discussing his deal with Netflix in a recent interview, Mark Millar called himself a “comic guy above everything.” THE MAGIC ORDER #1 is a result of this unwavering devotion to the medium. There's no stage trickery here—only real comics magic.

It’s a short list this week, which is fitting, given that I’m looking for titles that have straightforward stories. Sometimes, I’m not very sophisticated and sometimes I just want a story that’s got in- your-face attitude. Which makes sense, as this has been a week when everyone has been in …

You know, I’ve always been fascinated by betrayal. Okay – it’s not like I’m actively looking to screw someone over, but the whole concept of disavowing a friend, stabbing an acquaintance in the back or even just talking crap about someone in order to minimalize their position and maximize yours …

You ever worry about taking the next step? I do. Some times the next stage of your career, your hobby, your whatever is rationally the obvious thing to do. Yet there are issues like: moving out of your comfort zone, the amount of effort involved, or even just downright anxiety …

Commitment is such a chore. That’s what we’re looking at this time around. Why? Well, a lot of reasons. First, it’s the driving force behind super-heroes. Second, without commitment, how would we learn responsibility? Finally, it’s also getting close to the end of the school year and with the improving …

The theme this week is hopeless battles and why we fight them. There’s a lot of reasons, and sure enough, they come up in this week’s selection of titles. I’ve got my own thoughts on the subject, but let’s get to them at the end of the list. IDW Publishing …

What’s the theme this week? Vengeance. Yep – straight up: that’s what really makes the world go ‘round, folks. That satisfying feeling of making someone pay for their crimes against you. These stories always find their mark with an appreciative audience because they have the right elements: justice, schadenfreude, and …

What we have now is a result of what we did before. I, for one, appreciate what I have now. I’m a person who appreciates hard work, sacrifice, and the significance of things that I have because of the effort that went into obtaining them. I value good relationships, things …

Any cause worth fighting for is worth reading about. Sometimes you have a cause – a belief in something bigger than yourself. It’s worth a battle even when people tell you to lay down. I’m about causes and about fighting. So that’s my take for this week’s review list. There …

Back in Jan. of this year, our comic reviewer, Captain John K. Kirk, wrote a review of Superman #39 written by Patrick Gleason and Peter J. Tomasi and drawn by Barry Kitson (with a beautiful cover by Chris Burnham). It was titled "Goodnight, Moon."
