The mission. The task. The responsibility. The measure of a successful character is the dedication to the task he has either been given or has given himself. That’s what we are looking at this time around. So, let’s get to the list for this week! IDW Publishing Star Trek vs …

Happy New Year and welcome back! This week, it’s the call of responsibility that governs this week’s theme in the comic lists. After all, it’s been a restful and relaxing holiday break but like the rest of the western world is realizing, the holidays are over and it’s time to …

We’re all creatures of habit in one way or another. Why should comic readers be any different? I’m back to my own habits now, settling into a familiar routine. But Wednesdays are forever though. New comic books come and go, but I find myself drawn to the same old patterns, …

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 …

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 …

In today’s day and age, the concept of milestones or rites of passage have pretty much faded in comprehension. For the most part, the youth of today really don’t see the point in upholding the same traditional observances as their parents. Technology can be blamed for this, in part, but …

There’s a theme for this week’s collection of titles. I’m a hierarchical type of thinker. I tend to think in patterns, trends or in some sort of thematic way. That formed the basis for this week’s list and it was fun pulling it all together. See if you can figure …

We all need to acknowledge the miracles in our lives – even the small ones. It snowed a major amount today. Though I live in Canada, this is significant because in the last few years, my part of Canada hasn’t really seen much snow before the holidays. Pretty banal, right? …

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 …

I think the key to a successful series is intrigue. While a cliffhanger is a cheap way to simulate the genuine desire to follow a story through, it’s an easy write. It’s quick and it’s over fairly quickly. A real intrigue has mood and a slow burn, but not too …

There’s a very present theme of love in the comic list this week. Maybe it’s because we’ve just come off Mother’s Day (and that always inspires memories of unabashed and unrestricted love in me) or maybe I’m just listening to too many 1981 music tracks on my Spotify account? Could …

Looking over my last few reviews, I can’t help but notice a decided lack of Marvel titles on my pages. It saddens me because I would have considered myself to be a ‘Marvel Guy”. I came of comic age in the 1980’s and grew up on the stylings of Dave …
