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 …

Denise and Michael Okuda sat down with our writer John K. Kirk to talk about 'The Roddenberry Vault' and all the treasures that are stored within it.

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 …

'Theology and Science Fiction' is an accessible overview of how theology and sci-fi “speak” to one another. McGrath writes clearly and explains complex concepts effectively. But the book could have benefitted from more detailed analysis of specific examples from sci-fi to illustrate his points.

The American election made for a light reading list this week. After all, it’s hard to read comics when reality makes for more fascinating story-telling than fantasy. Here’s the list we’re looking at this week. DC Comics Action Comics #967 All-Star Batman #4 IDW Comics Star Trek: Boldly Go #2 …

I’m considering the nature of criticism this week. In my class, I constantly wrestle with how to mete out criticism. People forget that one of the toughest jobs of teaching isn’t the teaching itself, it’s the assessment. After all, if you have a teacher who you really respect, doesn’t it …

I’m a fan. I go to conventions; my heart literally skips beats at the thought of sharing a few moments of time with my fandom idols and I get euphoric when I’m in their presence. Yeah, I spend money to get into these events and I part with hard-earned cash …

I began reading comics at the age of four. My parents had a convenience store in the UK and every morning, the newspapers would arrive and I would find myself in the front of the store in the early hours of the morning sifting through them to search for the …

For a lot of people August represents the anticipation of a new year. Back to school is around the corner and this brings back memories for those no longer beholden to the school year. Hence the instinctive gearing up that we all seem to do. After all, isn’t there something …

The new MAC Star Trek Cosmetics line of makeup celebrates Star Trek's 50th anniversary with style and geek marketing brilliance.

Been a really busy July; August is looking like it’s not going to give me any rest either, but thank God for comics. Seriously, if there’s anything that will bring me down, square my focus or just re-establish my calm, it’s comics. The thing is though, with this being such …

San Diego Comic Con is next week. So, sad to say, that is the first time in three years that I will be missing a deadline. Of course, I’ll be hob-knobbing with the cream of geekculture and learning all sorts of inside stuff. Hey – if you’re there; look me …

It’s bare bones this week, people. Just hung out at Star Trek Improv Comedy show and are my warp engines ever tired. Yeah – Star Trek humour doesn’t seem to work with a generic audience. I get that. Let’s just get to the list. DC Comics Justice League (Rebirth) #1 …

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 …

'The Fifty-Year Mission' is a Star Trek book for fans that will become an indispensable reference resource that documents a personal history of the franchise. If you're a Trek fan, it's a must.
