Let’s face it: it’s not like we lead second lives, have secret identities or are the heroes in some grand adventure. But in comics, we can. Reading comics allows us the vicarious, albeit brief thrill of borrowing those features and losing ourselves in a fantasy with values that speak to …

The best thing I get to do in the convention season is sit on panels with some of the creators I write about, and there’s plenty more opportunities coming up. Last week in Boston (at Fan Expo Boston) I hosted a panel of indy creators featuring Andy Belanger, Rob Guillory …

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 theme this week is dynamic creativism. That’s just a fancy term I’ve made up to, quite simply, describe the relative levels of creativity that I’ve seen this week – and there are some really good examples. Image Comics Wayward #20 Wayward is a comic that really taps into the …

Despite my frequent hand-washing, vitamins and hydration, I have been struck by the dreaded “con-crud” illness that is a perpetual danger coming off a comic convention. Of course, with my luck, it soon graduated into the flu. Oh, comic conventions. In this case, I’m talking about Fan Expo’s Toronto Comic-con …

I’ve got a lot of stuff on my brain right now: preparing for Fan Expo Comic-Con in March, booking flight tickets for San Diego Comic Con in July and figuring out how to work two stories for Roddenberry Entertainment’s www.1701news.com. I do this on top of my responsibilities of being …

It’s report card time in Toronto and all over the city, many teachers are scrambling around to provide valid and objective assessment on their young charges. That’s what I try to do when I’m reading my comics. I look at the structure, the story, the believability and the context of …

Did you ever look forward to lifting the Chance or Community Chest cards when you played Monopoly? That’s what this week’s big list is like. Lots of number ones from Marvel and a new title from Image. I liked those cards – it was an act of random discovery; something …

Comics and sports are very similar with regards to the enthusiasts who follow them. True. That’s why you see sporting memorabilia sold at the same events where comic collectors can be found obsessing over their “got-its” and “need-its” to fill the holes in their collections. Whether it’s trading cards or …

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 …

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 …

Take a look at Sinestro #5, written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Dale Eaglesham. I love the idea of a villain getting his own comic title (very retro seventies approach) but I love seeing Dale’s work leap out at me from the page. It’s simply stellar and I can’t allow this title to get ignored.
