by Olly MacNamee
Welcome back to your new look weekend round up of news, reviews and announcements from the past week on Comicon.com. A chance to read up on a variety of articles by our dedicated team of writers and reviewers covering not only comics but TV, gaming and film too.
I’m sure there’s something in this week’s more popular posts for one and all. So why not check out this weekend’s ten to takeaway:
- We’ll start with Tito W James and the news of a new Helluva Boss episode. I’ve watched it and love it. You will too. Do check it out, but do know it’s not for younger viewers eyes or ears. Watch the latest episode here now.
- Tito also brought us a mini-documentary on Shingo Tamagawa, creator of anime Puparia. Watch it now here.
