From winning the Metal 2 The Masses Channel Islands contest to going on to play the New Blood stage at Bloodstock Open Air, not to mention more gigs than you could shake...

Despite the series running for eight volumes and leading to an anime adaptation, I had not heard of it until comics critic Tegan O'Neil mentioned it in passing, somewhere around the time O'Neil had written about Maid to Skate . The book's appeal is fairly evident from its cover and… ## [The End Of Oak Street (2026)](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/19/the-end-of-oak-street-2026/) _2026-08-19 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ Heading into the cinema to see The End Of Oak Street I knew very little about it beyond what the poster showed me, that being it featured Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway and in some way featured dinosaurs, along with it being a sci-fin thriller of some kind. As it began with a slightly too...

If it's just two, then I guess we could consider this post the second in a series in which I check out extremely popular manga only to find out that it's not really for me, following last month's post on Blue Lock . This time it's Sumiko Arai's The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All , AKA "the Green Yuri", based on its… ## [Perchard’s Wall – Perchards Wall](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/17/perchards-wall-perchards-wall/) _2026-08-17 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ Over the last half decade or so Perchard’s Wall have carved out a niche for themselves on the Channel Islands music scene with shows all over their home island of Jersey along with appearances at the like of the Vale Earth Fair, The Yacht and The Pit in Guernsey (and some even further afield) and...

So instead, they are just kind of piled up alongside it, waiting for a day when I might actually get enough shelves to accommodate all my books and go about organizing the in a less haphazard fashion. Given the size of the stack,… ## [From Dusk Til Dawn (1996) – Twilight Cinema at Castle Cornet – 06/08/26](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/15/from-dusk-til-dawn-1996-twilight-cinema-at-castle-cornet-06-08-26/) _2026-08-15 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ Over the years Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have collaborated a number of times and their particular brands of video store brat filmmaking have gelled with mixed but generally enjoyable results, but it’s hard to argue that their most completely successful offering was their first, 1996’s From Dusk Til Dawn. With both men at the...

And given that the film is based on a toy line, one suspects that doing so was likely always a part of the point of producing the film in the first place. While I have long since grown out of the demographic to play with or collect the toys, I did find this one… ## [Absolute Batman: Vol. 1 – The Zoo by Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/13/absolute-batman-vol-1-the-zoo-by-scott-snyder-nick-dragotta-and-frank-martin/) _2026-08-13 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ When it comes to superhero origin stories it feels like there are two that, whether you’re a fan of comic books or their spin off movies or not, have entered the popular lexicon; there is Spider-Man’s radioactive spider and ‘with great power comes great responsibility’, and there is Batman’s with the gunning down of Thomas...

Joe, A Real American Hero Pt. 8](https://www.everydayislikewednesday.com/2026/08/gi-joe-real-american-hero-pt-8.html) _2026-08-10 · Caleb · Every Day Is Like Wednesday_ G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero #34 (1985) Art by Rod Whigham and Andy Mushynsky • This is a very strong issue, and a good candidate for any "best of" G.I. Joe collection, at least among the issues I've read so far. It's a done-in-one story, with no real connection to the various ongoing storylines...in fact, were it not credited to the regular creative team, I would suspect it might have been a… ## [Bookshelf #41](https://www.everydayislikewednesday.com/2026/08/bookshelf-41.html) _2026-08-09 · Caleb · Every Day Is Like Wednesday_ This week's bookshelf is an awful lot like last week's, in that it is a) mostly small press and b) a real mess, with no real logic as to what is on it. One thing that seems apparent is that I seem to have stuck a whole bunch of very thin books on this shelf, books that are more "prestige format" (that is, regular comics with spines) than trade paperbacks, collections or graphic novels. The sorts… ## [Duck – The Drunken Duck, Guernsey – 01/08/26](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/09/duck-the-drunken-duck-guernsey-01-08-26/) _2026-08-09 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ Having only previously seen jazz quartet Duck on one previous occasion, when they opened for Jackson Mathod at St James back in February I was very much interested to see them on ‘home turf’, so to speak, in the pub that gave them their name where they having been holding monthly sessions for the last...

His cute childhood friend turned sensei (and successful manga artist) Love-chan asks his… ## [A couple of thoughts and questions I had about Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Spoilers, obviously)](https://www.everydayislikewednesday.com/2026/08/a-couple-of-thoughts-and-questions-i.html) _2026-08-05 · Caleb · Every Day Is Like Wednesday_ • There's been a lot of talk about superhero fatigue, and that Marvel Cinematic Universe having become less and less of a selling point in and of itself (and I agree the cross-movie mega-story has been completely unmoored and ponderous compared to the early days; the producers never bothered to replace the original hook of building The Avengers team and then building towards the Thanos conflict… ## [Ireland: County Clare and Galway – July 2026](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/ireland-county-clare-and-galway-july-2026/) _2026-08-05 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ For the second stop on our Ireland trip we headed for the city of Galway on the country’s west coast and while planning realised that our route would take us through County Clare and near to a few notable locations. Given that we had the whole day assigned for travel meant that we could take... Continue Reading → ## [G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero Pt. 7](https://www.everydayislikewednesday.com/2026/08/gi-joe-real-american-hero-pt-7.html) _2026-08-03 · Caleb · Every Day Is Like Wednesday_ G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero #31 (1985) Art by Rod Whigham and Andy Mushynsky • Say, did you know that David Mazzucchelli inked this cover...? He did! • This issue sees the introduction of Spirit, who is referred to repeatedly as "Spirit Iron-Knife" ("Spirit" is his codename, while "Charlie Iron-Knife" is his real name). Spirit is technically the team's second Native American member, following… ## [The Punisher: One Last Kill (2026)](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/the-punisher-one-last-kill-2026/) _2026-08-03 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ Coming hot on the heels of season two of Daredevil: Born Again another of the previously Netflix based Marvel characters has made it to Disney+ in his own right (following an appearance in the aforementioned Hell’s Kitchen based superhero’s first season) in the form of the Marvel Television ‘Special Presentation’, The Punisher: One Last Kill....

These books seem to be almost all small press and/or self-published (with a few prominent exceptions), and to be of such a size that they fit better on this shelf than they might have on other shelves. A few seem to be pretty out-of-place though, like the couple of manga volumes. The… ## [8.1% APY Plus Free Stock (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/PLa5Awzpj6sF) _2026-08-02 · **Sponsored**_ Claim 8.1% APY and up to $1,030 in SK hynix and Nvidia stock. ## [ADG Europe and TNT Theatre Britain present Macbeth – Castle Cornet, Guernsey – 28/07/26](https://tommygirard.wordpress.com/2026/08/01/adg-europe-and-tnt-theatre-britain-present-macbeth-castle-cornet-guernsey-28-07-26/) _2026-08-01 · tommygirard · Tommy Girard_ A part of the reason that the very name of Shakespeare’s ‘Scottish play’, Macbeth, is said to be unlucky is because it is often only uttered when a theatre is having problems and requires a guaranteed money spinner, this is something that has led to something of a perception that it is one of the...
