And this wraps up the weekend’s linkblogging!

• Rise Of The Cons: SoCal’s Three Cons – I’m definitely heading to Long Beach this year, but I’m not sure about Wizard’s Los Angeles con or Comikaze Expo.
• Grumpy Old Fan’s Alternative 30 Essential Graphic Novels at Robot 6
• CSBG’s Thor test case: Converting movie super-hero viewers to comic readers.
• Giant-Size Geek reviews Carmine Infantino: Penciller, Publisher, Provocateur, TwoMorrows’ massive book focusing on the classic Flash artist
• Quote(s) of the day at Robot6: The audience doesn’t know what it wants. Picking up from a remark in a recent Mark Waid interview, they explore the nature of what “the audience” says it wants, and why trying to chase that isn’t always the best way to deliver a good story…or even what the audience actually wants.
• The Oatmeal vs. Content Farmers
• Offsite events at Comic-Con International (San Diego)
• Speed Force and Flash: Those Who Ride the Lightning make Comics Should Be Good’s Month of Comic Book Sites. Thanks, guys!

Some linkblogging for the weekend. Since I missed last week’s round-up, and since there’s been a lot of talk going on this week, I’m breaking down the two weeks’ worth of links into several posts.

• White Lantern Trifecta (Heroclix & action figures) at FFA
