Spider-Noir creeps, Invincible expands, and Backrooms lurks: Popverse Playlist for May 23-29 2026
Nicolas Cage wants to be your less-friendly neighborhood wall-crawler while Robert Kirkman is bringing a new hero into the Invincible Universe... and A24 just wants you to get lost
Your eyes do not deceive you: it really is Friday, meaning that we can finally say goodbye to this week and look forward to the future ahead — a future that includes a three-day weekend for many people in the U.S. and the U.K., for entirely different reasons. But how should you be spending that time — and the remaining four days of the next week? We have some thoughts, because this is Popverse Playlist, and that’s exactly what we like to do here.
This week: a new spider-hero swings onto our screens, another new hero debuts in the pages of Image Comics’ current Invincible series, and we get lost in some confusing liminal spaces that we probably should’ve stayed away from in the first place. Your pop culture planning starts now!
