Pipedream Pull List: The Phoenix Weekly Story Comic (David Fickling Comics)
This week sees the launch of the first digital edition of the weekly UK comic The Phoenix launched via Apple Newsstand with an app powered by the team at Panel Nine, this is a bold new step for the company, but one that helps The Phoenix find its natural home in the 21st century – on the iPads of the nation’s kids. If like me you’re a child of the 80s then reading The Phoenix gives you a delightful trip down memory lane as it feels very much like a natural successor to classic British kids comics like the Beano and the Dandy. This is in no part thanks to it’s anarchic sense of humour, and unpatronising tone, combined with a 21st century update and so it creates a brilliant blend of quirky comic strips with potentially strong characters that help keep it looking current and relevant and should keep kids and parents alike amused.The particular highlights of this first issue for us were the anarchic pop visuals of Bunny vs Monkey from Jamie Smart, the intelligent and beautifully realised sci fi of Paul Duffield’s Starborn and the macabre but very informative Corpse Talk from Adam Murphy, which both educated and freaked us out in equal measure! There’s also an awesome pirate ship cross section from Chris Liddell, the action packed adventures of Crogg and Sprocket by Jamie Littler as well as loads others. Along with a whole cast of other writers and artists who we’ve not even seen in this sample, The Phoenix has put together a great roster of talent. With this sample issue featuring 9 very different stories you’re sure to find one you like – plus they are all starting afresh so there is no catching up needed if this is your first read of the title.
The comic is further augmented by some smart trickery from Panel Nine, including a ‘Something Cool’ button in the interface which illuminates when there is extra content on a page. Tapping reveals an extra page, but in the world of interactive books and magazine, this feels a tad flat and could leave the reader wanting just that little bit more interactivity. The same is true for some of the more analogue pages (like the fill in the speech bubbles DIY comic) that will work brilliantly in print, but lacks something in digital form.
With a brilliant introductory subs offer of just £9.99 for 26 weeks, The Phoenix team are aiming to get people hooked and keep them hooked, and based on this free to download sampler they have certainly done enough in our eyes as we can’t wait for the next issue!
A free to download digital sampler of The Phoenix is available via Apple newsstand and further issues will be available every week. You can find out more at their website

Joseph Heller (and his friend George Mandel) worked
on the project for a few weeks in early 1965,
submitting more than 100 pages after Feldman offered Heller $150,000.
New characters appear such as Lili Wing, a brothel madam and former lover of Bond whose ultimate fate is to be
crushed in the back of a garbage truck, and Gita, wife of Le Chiffre.
The racy plot elements opened up by this change of background include a chase scene
through Hamburg’s red-light district that results in Bond
escaping disguised as a female mud wrestler. A draft from 1957 discovered in Hecht’s papers—but which does not identify
the screenwriter—is a direct adaptation of
the novel, albeit with the Bond character absent, instead being replaced
by a poker-playing American gangster. By 1964, Feldman had invested nearly
$550,000 of his own money into pre-production. In January 1956, The New York Times reported Ratoff had set up a production company with Michael Garrison to produce a film adaptation, but
their pitch was rejected by 20th Century Fox and they were unable
to find financial backers before his death in December 1960.
While some critics initially questioned the choice of Daniel Craig as
Bond, his performance quickly silenced doubters
and earned him acclaim as one of the best actors to take on the role.
The soundtrack plays a crucial role in enhancing key
scenes, whether it’s the heart-pounding action sequences or the quieter, more introspective moments.
The song’s themes of resilience and determination resonate with the film’s narrative, enhancing its emotional impact.
The innovative use of practical stunts, such as
the parkour chase and the intense finale in the collapsing building, showcased the film’s technical achievements and commitment to realism.
Lamont’s work on the sets, particularly the intricate design of the casino and the Venice building, demonstrated a commitment to creating
immersive and visually striking environments. The film’s locations play a
critical role in its appeal, showcasing stunning settings in the Czech Republic, the Bahamas, Italy,
and the UK.
The title song, “You Know My Name,” performed by Chris Cornell, captures the film’s edgy and contemporary spirit.
David Arnold returned to compose the film’s score, continuing his work from the previous Bond films.
The opening parkour chase, the high-stakes poker game,
and the dramatic final confrontation in Venice are all meticulously designed to keep
audiences on the edge of their seats. The action sequences are a testament to the film’s dedication to delivering high-quality thrills.
