Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
On a day when couples everywhere are cringing about having to forcibly act and behave romantically (dudes mainly) – singles everywhere are moaning about a distinct LACK of love, probably sitting at home alone in the foetal position, hugging their knees,…
So… how many of you watched the big football game this past Sunday? Did you watch it for the game, or did you watch it for the commercials (unless you live in Canada)? I watched it for both. (Side note…
Agnes Garbowska has made a name for herself in the Toronto comic scene for her cute renditions of popular characters. So much so that she has done a few pieces for Marvel Comics. But she has now launched three webcomics of…
Hey there! Did you miss me? Well I missed you guys or at least I began to. As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve been on sabbatical for a few weeks due to a combination of personal dealings…
In the lead up to London’s Super Convention, I’ve had the privilege of speaking to one of the show’s organisers. Please visit the Con’s website again (if you haven’t recently) to find the latest updates to schedule/guest appearances etc. It’s…

Last week I was on Twitter and I saw a post from DC about their new logo. Of course I clicked the link to see what this was all about. I was very surprised to see that DC had made…
Poor Marlowe. Life can be hard when you’re a clay monster still living with your mother. But for us, it’s a bitter-sweet and often funny comic. And let’s just decide it’s a single panel gag comic right now and not…
While I realise a post like this one could be construed as being seriously and sensationally self-indulgent, I also acknowledge the amount of similar ‘dream-seeking’ nerds out there, whom also aspire to create comics like I do – and due…
I finally got a chance to check out the Tintin movie the other day and in light of my previous column on the source material I thought I would share some thoughts. As the Vulcans say “only Nixon can go…
