Toronto’s spring convention returns with the 2015 edition of Comicon. Last year’s show was quite the success for me, so I’m looking forward to heading back to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre this Saturday to partake in the festivities.

Underneath My Christmas Tree: 2014 Edition
Hoping you all had a blast this holiday season! For me, it was great to spend a lot of time with my family. Got to spread the joy of board games with my younger cousins by giving them a copy of King of Tokyo, which they loved. Got to spend Christmas day with Steff’s dad’s side of the family; a first for me after all of these years. Best of all, our schedules worked out in a way where Steff and I didn’t have to split up in order to visit all of our respective families.
I may be getting up there in age, though that didn’t stop my loved ones from spoiling me. Hopefully my gifts, love and Christmas cheer were enough to reciprocate, because I definitely got hooked up! This post highlights the stuff that is relevant to the site, though I’m also appreciative of the t-shirts, socks, ties, and Taylor Swift concert tickets (!!!) I got as well. Now let’s look at the goods!
My 2014 Holiday Wishlist
I’ve been told on many occasions that I’m horrible to shop for. Ever since I joined the workforce, I would go out of my way to purchase everything I ever wanted as soon as humanly possible. It’s part of the reason why I’ve been able to generate so much content for this site over the years.
This year’s a bit different. While I am not broke or unemployed, my financial situation is such that I can no longer maintain that lifestyle. As such, my wish list is a country mile long. I won’t share the whole thing in this post, but here are a few choice items from my wish list this year!
In Third Person Comic Book Show: Comics on a Budget
I’ve fallen on some hard times financially and have chosen to cut back on comics. Here’s my plan for how to get my fix without breaking the bank!
In Third Person Comic Book Show: Board Games Based on Comics
Branching out beyond the stories, I cover some of the big comic book board games, card games and dice games on the market. If you’re a fan of the comics, you might want to try some of these!

In Third Person Comic Book Show: Death of Wolverine Wrap-Up (SPOILERS)
Now that the series is over, I take a look back at the series that killed Wolverine. Was his death worth it?
In Third Person Comic Book Show: Saga
Romeo & Juliet meets Star Wars in one of my favourite comic books going right now. If you haven’t checked out Saga yet, let me sell you on it!
In Third Person Comic Book Show – Spider-Man: Torment
I tracked down Todd McFarlane’s debut writing run on Spider-Man. Does it stand the test of time? I think the real question is, “Was this ever considered good in the first place?”
In Third Person Comic Book Show: New 52 Future’s End One-Shots
This round-up includes the Future’s End one-shots for Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman/Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn!
In Third Person Comic Book Show: Death of Wolverine Issues 1 and 2 (SPOILERS)
Due to shipping delays on the final two issues, I take some time to recap the issues 1 and 2 of Death of Wolverine. Are you liking this series so far?
