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,…
Grant Morrison has stated he was going to tackle the epic Indian myth Mahbharata for Virgin Comics, and the publisher’s Indian roots made that a perfect fit. Then Virgin Comics went away. But the Mahbharata did not. Liquid Comics and Perspective Studio are pursuing the property as a CGI drama as 18 Days: The Mahbharata…
Warner Brothers have released this poster for the upcoming movie, based on the Oni comic book series from Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber. Okay, anyone need the thermostat turning up now?
A few weeks ago, Bleeding Cool ran an unofficial set shot from the filming of Chris Morris’ Boilerhouse (working title, Four Lions). The dark comedy movie follows the lines of four British jihadists as their train for a suicide mission against their own country. The mailing list for the movie, Fundingmentalism has just release three…
The Milford Daily News has a library column. And what’s this I see? Calling all comic fans. During August, a collection of special edition comics will be in the adult display case. Will this be Maus, Black Hole, From Hell, Lost Girls even, what are we talking here? The comics featured in the display are…
So Rich announced the coming premiere of the UK teen superhero show THE MISFITS this week, and this got me to thinking about how UK TV has hopped on the superhero bandwagon, late to America’s party, as usual. While superhero movies now provide the box office lifeblood to ensure Hollywood’s survival, the UK Film and…
Bleeding Cool poster and general scourge of the internet _OM_ had nothing better to do this weekend than sit watching UFragTV.com’s streaming coverage of Chicago Comic Con and taking screencaps. Take it away, _OM_! (What have I done, what have I done…) Friday And now Superman, the REAL Batman and Carrie-Robin have shown up. You’re…
Is this the one? Looks like it… Currently Bleeding Cool has been running around finding new sources for the Kick Ass footage and Iron Man 2 footage. Thanks to everyone who helped keep the bootlegs flying!
Sunday morning. I got up with the kids, watched a mixture of politics shows and children’s TV (not much difference), made breakfast, took the kids with me to church, came back, made a chicken salad for the family and grandparents, and just had a little snooze. You? Well, it appears that some of you are…
By William Christensen I think today has to silence those that were afraid the show would underperform. Busy day, we were jumping right from the start. Jacen Burrows was just buried signing Crossed books for fans. Talked to some of our neighbors like Chris Staros at Top Shelf, they seem to be pleasantly surprised at…
Jessica Jones back in costume for New Avengers Annual#3? Is this a betrayal of the character or the natural circle of life? Anyway, it’s been really weird to watch the reaction of attendees to WizardWorld Chicago Comics Con this year. Initially there was a fair amount of disappointment, at the smaller amount of people attending…
Marvel are to publish a Brian Michael Bendis: 10 Years At Marvel TPB in January, collecting a selection of his work for the company since Ultimate Spider-Man 1. They include Ultimate Spider-Man #13, New Avengers #22, Alias #10, Ultimate Spider-Man Annual #1, Civil War: The Confession, Ultimate Spider-Man Super Special, Ultimate X-Men #41, Stan Lee…
The Iron Man 2 teaser footage shown at San Diego Comic Con 2009 has leaked onto YouTube. As it was wont to do. Took a record couple of weeks though, so that says something. It may only be there for minutes. So, you know, do what you have to do. Because any second now there…
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…
