If you’ve read all of my columns on Comic Book Daily, and all of my comments I’ve ever written, you may have read that I was working on a Captain America costume for this past Halloween. I did make my Captain America costume, and I showed up to a Halloween party as the Sentinel of...

So you’ve just seen The Avengers movie. It’s awesome. You want to own a piece of the movie by purchasing some of the action figures.  So you just go down to your favourite retail store and buy a couple of the figures, right? WRONG. You can do it that way, but let me give you a...

  This week saw the release of the new trailer for Dark Knight Rises.  The trailer shows us more footage, but at the same time it raises more questions. Did Batman disappear? What did Bane do to Batman? Is Catwoman a hero or villain? Who is Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character? Where...

Last week we got a chance to see the new posters for G.I. Joe Retaliation.  This week we get a new trailer for the movie. Take a look.   I’ll make my review quick for this trailer.  It’s awesome!!! But this trailer gives us more about the movie than the first couple...

It was last year when Marvel started releasing .1 versions of our favourite comic books.  At the time I didn’t pay any attention to what .1 was all about.  I was reading a lot of IDW comics and only a handful of Marvel titles.  Captain America and FF was the bulk of my Marvel...

The Dark Knight Rises is coming to theatres this summer, and from the very beginning we’ve been told this will be the third and final film in the franchise by Christopher Nolan.  So what does the future hold for Batman on the big screen? It is obvious that there will be another Batman...

If you take a look at the comic shelves, movie theatres and toy shelves over the last couple of years, there has been a revival of our favourites from the 80′s. Transformers has been the most successful 80′s franchise to conquer the new millennium.  The 3 Transfomers movies...

“One of a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles governing conduct within a particular activity or sphere.” That is the definition of the word rules. When I collect comic books and action figures, I follow a set of rules as well.  These rules can be changed at...

This article is written purely on opinion and observation.  There was no research done for this article.  It is just my own opinion on this subject. If you consider this column the equivalent of my super-hero persona, then my alter-ego is my regular life.  My mild-mannered regular life...

This is the best time of year! Finally the drudgery of the winter is starting to fade.  The barren toy aisles that were stripped of their wares since the holidays are starting to fill.  Yes folks, it’s new action figure time of year. Toy Fare has come and gone and we got a glimpse of...

I know my columns are not hard-hitting journalism, or filled with hard-headed opinion.  I write about what I feel and what I like.  I like comics, movies and toys so that’s what I write about. I’m not going to come up with earth shattering stuff.  I try to write a weekly...

Reading is very important.  I think that goes without saying.  And as comic book fans, it is obvious that we like to read.  You can’t just look at the pretty pictures forever, without reading the story to find out what is going on. Getting kids to read at an early age is important as...

This weekend Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance comes to theatres. I know there are a lot of people who didn’t like the first movie, but I loved it.  I’m not the biggest Nicolas Cage fan (Wild at Heart was horrible and it wasn’t until The Rock that I watched a Nic Cage movie...

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 here, I don’t think it’s fair that in Canada we have to be subjected to...

I’ve said it many times in my column before, we are collectors. It doesn’t matter if it’s comic books, action figures, trading cards or memorabilia we like to find stuff and collect it. I’ve had this discussion before with people, what is more important “The...

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 the change to a new style logo. From what I have read, the whole idea of changing DC’s logo is to give...

Well folks… I’m back. I was sorting and arranging a pile of comic books in my basement, when it fell on top of me.  For the past several weeks I’ve been trapped in my basement, but luckily I remembered the Simpson’s episode from way back in Season 3, when the same...

Since it’s the end of the year, I’ve decided to highlight some of the best and worst of this years comic book stuff, from my perspective.  (click here to check out part 1) Best Social Media I’ve been following many feeds this year, on Twitter and Facebook.  On Twitter...

2011 is coming to a close and since this is my first year writing for Comic Book Daily, I thought I would take this opportunity to highlight some of the highs and lows of the comic book world from my prospective.

A couple of weeks ago, the 10th and final season of Smallville came out on Blu-Ray and DVD.  At that time I wrote about its release.  I’ve spent every available minute watching Smallville since then.  Season 10 is by far one of the best seasons of Smallville. Season 10 gives us...
