I've had an on again/off again/on again/off again/on again love affair with comic books over the course of my life starting back in elementary school when I was reading Batman and Justice Society of America after which gave them up for more mature pursuits (ie. girls), then resumed my passion for reading with titles like…

Thanks to everyone who took the time to support guest reviewer Cookie Monster by subjecting themselves to watching Superman III as part of this blog's Supermovie of the Week Club. Lots of great commentary from some of you and Cookie Monster truly appreciates the input. I know, I know. You're no doubt thinking: "Well, at least…
March 4, 2012: Dinner at Chez Cooper!
Well, well, well. If it isn't my former assistant on that Toronto-based show, finally getting around to sending me a pic of himself enjoying Dark Matter. Trevor writes: "Look what finally came in! They kept selling out so fast I had to order them special from 1000000 Comix. I was so excited I read them simultaneously!" Now THAT…
March 3, 2012: At this rate, I may need some time off from my time off!
Whew! I spent much of the day working on the series overview for my SF space opera comic book (hopefully soon-to-be-television series) Dark Matter. I covered the major story arcs, from the individual backstories to the end of their respective journeys. I also included various images from the comic book to compliment the fifteen page document.…
March 2, 2012: Of pig (pork) buns, getting busy, and Dark Matters!
Akemi: I like Laboratory Retrievers. Me: Huh? You mean Labrador Retrievers? Akemi: Labo-ratory... Me: Labrador. Akemi: Labratory... Me: Labrador. Akemi: I like Labu-chans! Last night, Akemi made pork buns the likes of which you're unlikely to find in most chinatowns... Well, things are certainly picking up on the creative front - and this after everything…
March 1, 2012: Some prelim work on the trailer! Pics from the Stargate vault! Dark Matter #3 preview! Mailbag!
Today, Ivon was out and about, scouting locations for our horror trailer. Kudos to him for coming up with some fantastic, diabolically creepy-looking places - the type of places you would never frequent at night, least of all to shoot something. While Ivon was on the road, I was on my laptop, working on the…

The third issue of my comic book, Dark Matter, hits the shelves March 12th.

February 24, 2012: The boys reconvene for blood, battle, and Vietnamese sandwiches! Ivon and Lulu sitting in a tree…! It aint good news for Cookie Monster!
My french bulldog Lulu has a crush on my buddy Ivon Bartok. It's pretty damn obvious the way she throws herself at him whenever he comes visit, sitting on his lap, sneezing in his face, lying down beside him and lovingly passing gas. Yesterday morning, I told her that Ivon would be coming to visit,…
February 22, 2012: Yet another Supermovie of the Week dilemma! Potential foreign entries!
Wow. Not even 24 hours have passed since you all started casting your ballots for the next installment in our Supermovie of the Week Club and Condorman has already built a commanding lead. If this trend continues through Friday morning then that makes Cookie Monster double-screwed because he'll have to screen and review both Condorman…
February 21, 2012: Vote for next week’s Supermovie of the Week!
So, looking ahead to next week's installment of the Supermovie of the Week Club, I've got some good news and some bad news for Cookie Monster. The good news is the movie I'd originally selected for next week, Condorman (1981) looks more like a spy flick and one of those non-superhero superhero movies Cookie was…

So, the day after Golden Boy Martin Gero sends me a pic of himself posing with copies of my comic book series, Dark Matter, in an obvious bid for a role in the potential Dark Matter television series, which came a day after my Toronto arch-nemesis, Tara Yelland, did pretty much the same thing, which came two…

Hmmmm. Coincidentally, the day after I discuss Alex Levine's transparent attempt to land a role/directing gig on a potential Dark Matter series (Based on the comic book series of the same name. Check it out!) which, coincidentally, came the day after I discussed Ivon Bartok's equally obvious attempt to get himself cast, I received an email…
