    Figures serves up delicious with a side of geek

    by W. Andrew Powell September 28, 2018
    by W. Andrew Powell September 28, 2018

    Figures (137 Avenue Road) is officially one of my favorite new restaurants in Toronto, and it’s about more than just the food, the style, or the very fun comic book theme. Figures is a great restaurant because they do all of those things so well, and they do it all with heart, and excellent attention to every detail.

    Video Interview: Comic book creator Stan Lee

    by W. Andrew Powell September 1, 2010
    by W. Andrew Powell September 1, 2010

    Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and The Avengers: they’re the stuff of legend, and since the 1950s they have helped turn Marvel Comics into a publishing powerhouse, spawning huge movie franchises, and feeding the imaginations of fans both young and old.
