Something For The Weekend: Your Regular Dose Of Popular Posts
by Olly MacNamee
Happy New Year, everyone and welcome to the first new Something For The Weekend of 2024. Our regular selection of popular posts, in no particular order, rounded up to offer you some entertainment over the weekend. And here’s this week’s list now:
- Richard Bruton’s Art for Art’s Sake continues to prove popular, with his regular Saturday slot making the list. You can catch the last one of 2023 here.
- He also posted a special Art for Art’s Sake, paying tribute to the UK artist John M Burns who passed away recently. Read it here and marvel and the amazing art Burns produced over the decades.
- Also from Bruton is his weekly preview of 2000 AD can be read here.
- Finally, from the very prolific Bruton comes his new Sunday column, The Sunday Spotlight. Read last week’s here.
- Meanwhile, from other contributors we had Frank Martin’s commentary of the US Ghosts and characterisation can be read here.
- Brendan M Allen posted a popular preview for Masterpiece #2 from Dark Horse Comics here.
- And my semi-regular look at the Superman titles can be found here.
- In comic book news two pieces made it onto this week’s list. First DC Comics announced a second printing for Batman #428: Robin Lives!, which you can read all about here.
- And Marvel announced Peter David’s return to the year 2099 with Symbiote Spider-Man 2099. Read more here.
- Finally, we leave you with an interview. Rachel Bellwoar talked with writer Kyle Starks about his new comic series, Pine and Merrimac from BOOM! Studios here.
And as it’s the New Year, I’ll leave you with something extra, and something very different too. As you may have noticed we are starting to add the odd post about music; new releases, upcoming festivals, and more. Maybe even introduce you to you next favourite band too, as is the case with the following epic sci-fi video from the French three-piece, Slift. An immense and amazing sounding psych-rock band about to embark on a new tour to promote their new LP, Ilion, out on January 19th on Sub Pop.
