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 …

Well, the city of Toronto is ecstatic with the Blue Jays’ victory over the Texas Rangers tonight. I don’t purport to be any sort of Baseball fan but I am a fan of Toronto. This city has so much to offer the world. As we’ve seen tonight, a major baseball …

Marvel has the lion’s share of titles on this week’s list. It’s important to note that the bulk of them are number ones and the others are Star Wars books. It’s a transition month but the amount of Star Wars books are pretty much going to be the heavy sellers. …

Combining the subversive influence of 'Watchmen' with the aesthetics of 'Mad Men,' 'Jupiter's Circle' is an excellent prequel to 'Jupiter's Legacy' and brings Mark Millar's superhero epic full circle.

Quality over quantity, right? That’s a hard concept for a glutton like me. Seriously – I had two lunches today. One that I prepared for myself (Beautiful ham sandwiches with aged cheddar cheese …) but then a retired colleague brought in a wonderful West Indies curry dish to touch base …

'Material' tries very hard to be a work of intellectual and political importance. In the process, it forgets to be a good story and comes off as pretentious.

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 …

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.

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 …

'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.
