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 …

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 …

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 …

We all have expectations. We have expectations of ourselves, our friends and definitely what we want from a comic. Though these are all subjective things, sometimes there are some universal constants that we can all agree upon. So, this week, we’re looking for expectations in the picks for this week. …

You ever have one of those weeks when you just can’t stop? Determination, stubbornness, the sense of never giving up – whatever it is that fuels me, I must have gotten it from somewhere. It’s a list with that theme this this week, and it’s a great one. Lots to …

Yeah, it’s a perfect Star Trek storm this week with all of IDW’s Trek titles hitting the shelves all at once. While this would have delighted the adolescent in me, the grizzled comic veteran now has to pick from his favourite children. Oh, boo-hoo. The Star Trek and comic geek …

There are some moments at comic conventions that completely go unappreciated and overlooked. Fan Expo Canada was like that. While there were some things that didn’t work out for me this past weekend, there were still some moments that were priceless and memorable and needed to recognized. I was actually …

Happy Fourth of July to my American readers. The great thing about your holiday is that it heralds new comic Wednesday! There’s a good deal of time to enjoy the day, read some comics, see some fireworks, and do what we do on our own nation’s birthday, I suppose, which …

Sometimes, it’s a little scary how willing we are to surrender our sense of disbelief in return for a decent story. Reading comics is such a common and accessible form of escapism that in order for the experience to be a good one, we readily throw our support behind a …

It’s hardly what I call a long list for this week, but the good thing about a short list is that you can take your time and savour the experience of reading a good comic. After all, now that winter is here, the best remedy for a cold evening is …

Too many titles and not enough time to wax philosophically! Let’s get to the list! DC Comics Batman Detective Comics #942   “The Night of the Monster Men” concludes in this issue. It was a pretty simple premise, but what I really liked about it is that we saw a return …

Why is that Wednesday seems to be a nexus point for events? Is it just the fact that it’s hump day or is there some sort of cosmic pattern behind calendar arranging? Clearly I’m talking from my own experiences but I’m sure it’s also been an experience that other folks …

End of school. Non-teachers don’t get this, but there’s such an emotional drain on the last day of school. You look at your students and as they enjoy their final day celebrations, you wonder if you’ve prepared them – changed them, well enough for the challenges that they are about …
