John Rozum recently talked about his problems as writer of Static Shock, citing that he was hardly writing the book, the actual work being split between artist Scott McDaniel and editor Harvey Richards, which is why he chose to walk off the book with issue 4, not wanting his name to be associated with work…
The Darkness #100 is on its way… And this is the first you’ll have seen of the Todd McFarlane (above), the Michael Golden (below) and the Marc Silvestri retailer incentive (further below). 48 pages for $4.99 US, it’s out the last day of February. But since the Darkness II game comes out today, it seems…
It was the recent ICV2 interview with Marvel Senior Vice President-Sales David Gabriel that did it. Answering a questionnaire with no followups, he managed to dodge some questions by answering different ones, and throw some googlies at the opposing team. But he’s hardly alone in this, DC’s Executive VP-Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood…
Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…
When living legends surprise screenwriters, part one…
The Geppi Museum will be hosting a signing for the coffeetable book – Captain Action The Original Super Hero Action Figure by Michael Eury on August 15th, with a Captain Action exhibition to run until October and the Diamond retailer summit.
The piece on The Stuff Of Legends earlier seems to have hit a nerve. The publisher Th3rdworld overprinted by 30% on initial orders but is now almost out and direct orders from their site have been booming, still at cover price. Expect a second print announced soon. It only shipped yesterday, you know.
And, post-Con, I’m also hearing similar buzz about Cursed Pirate Girl, Lackadaisy and the new Surrogates volume. Much more to talk about those books as well.
And since I haven’t done an Avatar plug of the week yet, I had the chance to read Absolution #1 this weekend by Christos Gage. It’s very much a TV-show version of superheroics, but an HBO one. And it gets rather nasty.
And Irene Adler’s first column for Bleeding Cool seems rather divisive too. Some have seen it as liberating, others a crass parody. All I can say is that I found “Irene” to have a unique voice, one I haven’t seen represented in comics and one I thought deserved wider dissemination.And that she is most definitely the real thing. And not Tony Lee in a corset.
Laurenn McCubbin twits “It’s a terribly written sexist piece of crap. Congrats” while Carl Jansson says “Irene’s column is great BTW!” Jigsaw Jones adds “um. Wow. I mean, I’d already dismissed Bleeding Cool as being utter mindpap bullshit a week after launch, but… damn. Brainmelt!” while Pamela Quevado sees it differently, “Oh, I loved it…can I be a muse too?”
We’ve finally been given a look at Loki’s forces in the new, extended trailer for The Avengers, as premiered online just after a cut-down version graced the Superbowl. Here are four screen grabs from the single shot in which they appear with any degree of clarity: So it’s not the Skrull or the Kree –…
Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing. For those of you who watched the Superbowl just to see this commercial, tell me: was it worth it? Related Posts:The Extended John Carter Superbowl Spot Is Here (Fixed) The Avengers Mini-Rushes –…
In yesterday’s webchat (referred to earlier), Alan Moore revealed that the next League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen project to follow the conclusion of Century this summer, is to be called Nemo: Heart Of Ice, and that forty of the forty-eight pages involved have been written so far… and that we’ll see it before the end of…
(Welcome Facebook people… please tell us who has linked to us, because we’re gettng massive traffc and we’d like to say thanks. And you can see more Bleeding Cool Doctor Who coverage here.) The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will tomorrow be playing The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, described in their schedule as: A musical celebration with…
Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well. Related Posts:Spider-Man’s New Costume Gets…
When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
