The Fake Three months ago, Yeon Sangho’s zombie thriller Train to Busan was all the rage in Asia, as it received both critical acclaims and audience’s love. Even then in May, amongst the line-up of melodramas and arthouses from auteurs all around the world, it stood out as an entertaining and commercial thriller, though this is just the first take on live-action from the 39-year-old South Korean director who packed on his back only several animated movies, most notably The King of Pigs and the…

Hollywood Superheroes When we were kids we understood one thing about a superhero that he’s the good guy. He makes the bad guys go away and he’s our saviour. When a child thinks about a superhero, the first picture that comes to his mind is Superman or Batman or maybe Spiderman. His fantasies include him being saved by the superhero or maybe he becoming the superhero himself and saving the world. His faith in the superhero is pure and it is derived from the feeling that whatever bad there is,…

When given the task of creating both a whole new superhero and comic script, I was shocked by the amount of control and creativity I would have throughout the process. Creating my own personal hero is what excited me most as a writer, although I realized how hard it is to truly be original in the world of comics.

I found this particular piece of artwork in the tunnels near Lanark residence, and obviously painted by some of its floor members quite a few years ago. This particular sign caught my eye because I was curious as to why an entire floor of people would choose a 2001 children’s animated movie to represent them in a public area for an indeterminate amount of time. I believe that the Shrek painting is a perfect example of a social media meme. According to Little (2014), “Internet memes—images that…

In this current generation comic books are accepted by all ages and ethnicities. Racially comic books weren’t very diverse especially the characters and their roles.
