West End Comics – There’s A New Kid In Parkdale

January 20th, 2013 by Joshua Murray

There’s a new kid in town and he’s selling new and vintage comics, graphic novels, action figures, collectibles, watches, cufflinks and kitsch! West End Comics recently opened in Parkdale (Toronto) and sits (conveniently for me) at the corner of Queen St. West and Sorauren Ave. Trish and I stopped in for the first time yesterday […]

What’s Next For The Batman?!

July 29th, 2012 by Joshua Murray

So… I saw The Dark Knight Rises this week. And while I am not here to bust out spoilers (sorry, but it’s going to kind of happen) I do want to talk about what may come next and why Christopher Nolan or who ever will be in charge of the project should be allowed to […]

Guest Post: Marvel’s The Avengers – It’s Finally Here!

May 5th, 2012 by Joshua Murray

Note: I haven’t seen The Avengers yet… but James has and he wrote this post for me. James knows his comic books, movies, games and culture and whether he knows it or not, is totally my barometer. (He knows this stuff like I know baseball. And usually I try to be modest about what I know… […]

The Dark Knight Rises… And I’m So Excited!

May 2nd, 2012 by Joshua Murray

I love The Batman. He is the greatest Superhero of all the Superheroes. And I’ve been waiting (as patiently as possible) for The Dark Knight Rises since the run for The Dark Knight ended. I know that you’ve been waiting too. We all have been. It has felt like a long, long time since we […]

Finding Depth in Comic Books – More Than BAM and POW

April 4th, 2011 by Joshua Murray

As a kid I didn’t read comic books. Well, unless you count the adventures of Archie and the Riverdale gang I guess. There was no Batman on pages in my life. The Caped Crusader was only present in old reruns with Adam West. But now that I’m an adult I've got my share of trades […]

Non-Secrets About Me!

March 29th, 2011 by Joshua Murray

There have been a lot of tweets popping up these days with people telling secrets about themselves. But let’s be honest – the chances that these little tidbits are actually secrets are pretty slim. With that in mind I won’t be sharing any secrets today – not because I don’t have any – I do […]

Rejoice in Friday – a Week in Review

February 4th, 2011 by Joshua Murray

Friday is here again – it’s time to rejoice! It’s been a heck of a week I tell ya.  We were threatened that the biggest snow storm in the history of anything we could remember.  I started writing samples for new projects as well as sports stuff for fanshots.  Hit up karaoke and rocked some […]

What Kind Of Geek Are You?

March 17th, 2010 by Joshua Murray

In the end I may not be the biggest geek you know. But I’m a geek none the less. And I challenge you to tell me that you aren’t a geek when the criteria are this: If you geek out about something, you are a “blank” geek.

Reviewing My Entertainment Guilty Pleasures

January 19th, 2010 by Joshua Murray

So I had no idea what today, so I Googled “what to write about” and followed the first link that I found. I found a blog that had a list of 100 things to blog about. One of the things on the list was “guilty pleasures”. So I decided that I would write about my […]
