Something For The Weekend: Your Regular Dose Of Popular Posts
by Olly MacNamee
Welcome to the weekend, and it’s another scorcher in the UK thanks to the climate crisis, at a point now where clearly there is no return. So, I’m happy to try and avoid the heat and catch up with a little reading. And if you’re thinking of doing the same thing, then may I suggest the following reading recommendations as picked by the editorial team here at Comicon.com. A site that has, over the years, brought you some rather distinct reviews as well as opinion pieces and specialist columns. Plus a heavy side order of interviews. Here’s this weekend’s picks, that showcases exactly what I’m talkin’ about:
Erik Amaya picked these three:
- Talking With Doug Wagner About His New Globe-Trotting Spy Series Yumi: 00EX by Olly MacNamee
- Toy Review: Marvel Legends Secret Wars Daredevil Is The Edge Of Perfection by Tony Thornley
- For Your Eyes Only — Talking Ian Fleming’s James Bond Signature Comic Strip Collection With Editor David Leach by Tom Smithyman
Brendan M Allen chose the following:
- BREAKING NEWS: Marvel Comics Announces Massive Changes Including Cross Country Move And New Top Editor by Tony Thornley
- What’s In A Name Anyway — Reviewing Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #1 by Scott Redmond
- Previously On X-Men: It’s Brood Trouble In The Big Easy Part 3 In Uncanny X-Men #31 by Austin Gorton
Tony Thornley suggests these three posts:
- Opinion: Marvel Gets A Brand New Day And It’s About Time by Scott Redmond
- Trek Thursdays: Trekking Towards Sixty #22 — “The Defector” And “Chain Of Command” by Scott Redmond
- Advance Review — If Destruction Be Our Lot #3 Questions What It Means To Be Human by Tom Smithyman
And then there was one. And I recommend the following:
- The People’s Serial Killer — Reviewing Absolute Green Arrow #3 by Scott Redmond
- The Comics Industry Comes Together To Defend Free Expression At SDCC 2026 by Brendan M. Allen
- Walking The Crooked Lanes And Talking 2000 AD’s Nightmare New York With Kek-W And Dave Roach by Rachel Bellwoar
And now for that something extra I like to add. And this weekend I’m leaving you with the trailer for writer/director Paul Greengrass’ The Uprising, in which Andrew Garfield goes Medieval on royalty’s ass during the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381:
