Ever feel like you’ve got too much to do? Yep – me too. The great thing about fiction though, is that we can love the fact that so do our heroes, but for some reason, they get it done! That’s the theme we are looking at for this week – …

To review a story, you have to completely accept it. You have to throw yourself into the tale and if it’s good, you come out of it with a feeling of satisfaction. If you didn’t get that feeling after reading it, then there’s something wrong with it. That’s part of what makes …

You ever have one of those weeks that’s just jam-packed with activity? Not annoying or menial tasks, but exciting things that, filled with joy and accomplishment, but still taxing and energy-consuming. I just came off FanExpo’s Toronto Comic-Con this weekend where I hosted every celebrity they had on the list. …

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 …

The end of November always has such a feeling of anticipation for me. There’s an accelerated intensity as we get closer to the Christmas shopping season and the comic retailers add new products to their shelves. It’s a magical time that only seems to get better with every week of …

This marks the last comic review for the year, but it’s been a pretty good one and I’m excited by the titles. A good number of them are from Image Comics. In fact, it’s pretty safe to say that Image has been responsible for a good number of the weekly …

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 …

Super heroes aren’t doing it for comics any more. Seriously … when’s the last time a super hero comic really grabbed public attention? For me, Moon Knight is my choice, but even still, I find that it’s an exception to the rule and I’m drawn to more non-super hero books …

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 …
