Dealing with adversity is a good topic for this week’s review. DC’s Greg Capullo is a real motivational guy on the subject and I think he and I share a similar philosophy. It doesn’t matter what life throws at you; it matters what you throw back. Adversity and my family …

It’s the end of the summer and September is often a month associated with new beginnings. For a lot of people, me included, I think the beginning of the school year has a lot to do with that. We’re looking at new beginnings this week, so without any delay, let’s get to …

Plain and simple: the future concerns me. That’s the theme for this week as we enter into the first golden week of summer vacation for many students in North America. School is seen as a trial for many kids, instead of the privilege it is viewed as in other parts …

There are terrible things that happen in the world but there are also terrible people who make these things happen. It’s the terrible people we should concern ourselves more. When events occur by themselves, there is no-one to blame. But people who set these events in motion need to concern …

In this day and age, we can be so pre-occupied with image; how we appear. Our self-conscientiousness gets in the way of just simply completing things; meeting deadlines and in essence, measuring up to our responsibilities.

You know, this is the not just the season for giving, but it’s the season for planning. I mean, at this time of the year, you put together lists, make appointments, arrange to see friends and family – it’s all one huge sequence of elaborate planning. So, of course, that’s …

The absence of a strong central authority in a given situation makes for chaos. Now, I’m not an advocate for absolute despotism, but I do recognize that there has to be structure in all things for them to run smoothly, and comic stories are no exception to this rule. The …

I don’t know about you, but this week, I need a little escapism. Oh hell … I need a LOT of escapism this week! Well, that’s the segue for this week’s comic pull list. I find that comics are a far more efficient medium for escapism than any other. A …

I’m into mindless, blind rage this week. It’s been a bad week at work and I’ve lost my favourite fountain pen. So, I’m hoping there will be some stories for me to sink my teeth into and vicariously enjoy as I desperately need some vicious payback. Sometimes, I’m a petty, …
