By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth! So you just saw 'Doctor Strange' and want more? Then here's a list of the best Doctor Strange comics to go check out.

This post isn't intended to be an in-depth analysis or critique of this media trend. It's just intended to be a simple list post that I banged out in a moment of annoyance while scrolling through my Facebook news feed today.

The intended effect of these figurative celebrity punches is a reality check, a wake up call and plea to step out of the self-absorbed, privileged bubble they live in and remember what it's like to just be a person.

As the editor-in-chief of Pop Mythology, I thought a list of our most popular posts this year was in order. The result is a pretty good representation of our efforts to provide a balanced mix of thoughtful, probing commentary with fun, lighthearted content that you can enjoy during your coffee breaks.

No matter how hard life gets there are always reasons to live, and at Pop Mythology we find that pop culture alone gives us more than enough reasons to endure. And so with 2014 coming on fast, here is our list of the stuff we anticipate most.

As 2013 draws to a close, and in the list-fueled spirit of the season, here is a brief run-down of my personal picks for 10 best albums from the last twelve months. Feel free to congratulate me upon the fine taste demonstrated in the following selections.

Paul Walker (1973 – 2013)

There’s one thing these imagined futures have in common: they all suck. So in this list of awful dystopias, we try to find the bright side of things. Mass infertility in "Children of Men"? Hey, no more worries about birth control!

I will not argue for the following artists. I don’t need to: they speak for themselves. But I defy any person who considers himself a hip-hop aficionado - or any fan of rhythm, music and lyrics - to listen to the albums mentioned here and say they don’t contain the same levels – if not more - of complexity, depth and creativity as any mainstream artist like Kanye West or Lil Wayne.

What is it about this character from "The Walking Dead," Daryl Dixon, that compels us so? Here, I try to break down the essence of Daryl’s phenomenal appeal into eight basic qualities which, when combined, inspire furious viewer loyalty.

Teaching can often be a performance-oriented profession. Here are nine teacher "types" from pop culture which we hope will offer inspiration, models and ideas whether you're a teacher by trade or do some kind of teaching to someone.

The release of 'Ender’s Game' has placed author Orson Scott Card at the center of controversy, many choosing to boycott the film. But if a book, movie, song, painting, etc. is good, then it should not matter who made it. In this vein, I present ten artists who are widely considered to be unpleasant or reprehensible but whose works are critically praised.

There's nothing like settling in for a night dedicated to your favorite pastimes while letting loose and relaxing with a nice, stiff drink. Here are some of the best cocktails to ensure a geektastic evening!

We at Pop Mythology, in a desire to helpfully offer some of that ultra-rare commodity known as "perspective," decided to have a roundtable discussion looking back at casting choices that were unpopular or controversial at the time but that turned out quite well.

Movies featuring bowling are extraordinarily rare. Sadly, the majority of bowling movies are lowbrow comedies such as 'King Ralph' or 'She’s Out of My League,' limited-appeal documentaries like 'League of Ordinary Gentlemen,' or whatever the hell 'Sorority Babes in Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama' is. Still, there are some that not only feature this great sport but are also great films.
