Awwwww… Jim Lee finished the most recent issue of Justice League #5 just before his new child was born, and while his wife Carla was rather heavily pregnant. He’s written that the new arrival held out until he’d finished his deadline, which was appreciated by all, I’m sure. But what tribute could Jim Lee make…
We know from the publicity that DC Vertigo are publishing graphic novel adaptaions of the Millenium Trilogy, with Denise Mina and Leonardo Manco adapting the first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo into two parts. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…
Recently, Bleeding Cool ran an article on how Marvel were looking to get certain creators out of their exclusive deals with Marvel, in an attempt to save money. And how Ariel Olivetti may have been a good example, locked into a two year excluisve deal with Marvel but suddenly appearing on the rejigged Men Of…
Toy News International ran these scans of images of DC toys and statues for 2012. But did they miss the headline story? Or is it a case of one side of DC not knowing what the other is doing? Because in May 2012, as part of the New 52 Cover Girls Of The DC Universe,…
Dave Dorman twitters Gee. I sure wish the Dabel Bros. would pay me the $1k they owe me for the cover I did for them, which they just reprinted in a compilation. Basically, they’ve screwed me twice. Matt Brady announces his resignation from Newsarama. Good luck Matt, thanks for all the fun! And just in…
Currently listed here on Amazon.Ca… I’d buy that, wouldn’t you?
“Batman beats everyone! Batman could beat God! In fact Batman did beat God! With a pool cue! A bat-pool cue!” “I hate Flash. He’s just like Superman, except he can do less and he doesn’t have a cape. And that 90′s TV show was weak. Weak!” “I like Power Girl. I… I really like Power…
Just a few of the exclusive art prints on sale at San Diego Comic Con. Enjoy the view.
Is this Joe Quesada in the audience for Paul McCartney on Letterman? I rather think it is. The third print run of Chew #1 and the second print run of Chew #2 have sold out at publisher level before copies hit the shelves. A fourth print run of Chew #1 and a third print of…

We now return you…
Out now is Who Killed Amanda Palmer: A Collection of Photographic Evidence by Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman. Currently a couple, Amanda is the iconoclastic singer/songwriter both of the Dresden Dolls and in her own right. Old Lying In The Gutters readers may be familiar with the Alex De Campi videos I’ve featured of hers…
A long time ago, back in the Lying In The Gutters days, I was told by a truly wonderful source that Tom Baker was returning to Doctor Who. In what form, I wasn’t told, just that contracts had been signed. There was speculation – was it to be a multi-Doctor story along the lines of…
Avatar is proud to welcome Warren Ellis to the San Diego Comic Con where, immediately after talking about some cartoon series or other, he will be signing Avatar comic books for one hour. But because Warren Ellis is so popular, and his American fanbase rarely get a chance to worship at his feet, Avatar have…
“Sexually progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilisation and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages, and the Holocaust.” – Alan Moore October sees the publication of comics writer, novelist, performance artist and magician Alan Moore’s, 25,000 Years Of Erotic History. It is a hardcover illustrated treatise of the history of…
A recent Twinterview with Si Spurrier revealed that his series with Frazer Irving, Gutsville was very much on hold. But artist Frazer Irving gave us hope… he writes; Talking of creative freedom, GUTSVILLE has been cancelled from Diamond’s books for teh time being because noone was sure when the next issue would ship, which is…
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu. Such a detailed commission from Miller, it would be quite a rarity these days and rather expensive. Albeit not quite as expensive as buying the original art, recently selling for almost half a million…
Here’s an orderly and dependable plot blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man, as issued by Sony and piling up across the net (and in my inbox) like wildfire right now. There may not be any bombshells in here, but the strands come together pretty clearly. You know – like a web. The Amazing Spider-Man is the…
The last time I remember reading a Legend Of Zelda comic was back in the nineties, from Valiant Comics before they decided to move into superheroes. There’s were also a few manga books tied into specific game releases but no US licenced comics for quite some time. This could change if Joe Madueira gets his…
He’s done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it’s only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright…
I would assume that the success of The Lord of the Rings and the huge interest in The Hobbit, not to mention the extraordinary, eight-film success of the Harry Potter series, would encourage Warner Bros. to look seriously into all of their similar options, but the studio has not to move ahead with a long-developing…
