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,…
Congratulations to Jim Lee and Carla Michelle… will the mini-comic book wedding programme become a major collectable? Sadly the man himself has nothing to do with this website – www.jimleeforcongress.com Enigma, the DC/Vertigo comic book by Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo is claimed as the first superhero comic book with gay protagonists. And, as reported,…
Last week, Bleeding Cool reported that Diane Nelson had taken over Alan Horn’s duties at Warner Bros to oversee DC Comics. And since no one’s actually denied it yet, and unofficially everyone is confirming the story, let’s keep running with scissors. Today I’m taking the incredibly presumptious step of suggesting certain issues that a new…
CLE: Hi, this is Cheryl Lynn Eaton, your Bleeding Cool operative and I’m here with Laura Martin. Laura, how’s your DragonCon going so far? LM: It’s going really well! This year, the Artist Alley is in a new location and I’m very, very happy with it. We’ve got a prime spot right in front of…
Episode Two: Jimmy Palmiotti. CLE: Hi! This is Cheryl Lynn Eaton, your Bleeding Cool operative, and I’m here with Jimmy Palmiotti. And Jimmy, how’s your show going so far? JP: It’s going fantastic! It’s been a busy few days and people are very nice—and somewhat clean—here in Atlanta. But seriously, I’ve seen some great costumes…
When Rich asked me to write this column, I told him (with the greatest of affection, of course) that we should leave the crazy, tattooed girls to Warren since they’re more his area of expertise than mine, but this week there’s a meme that’s caught my attention. WET is a new video game where you…
One of the best things about DragonCon is the pop culture festival’s Artist Alley! Our Bleeding Cool operative took a moment or two to visit Artist Alley and talk to some of the creators present at the convention. Stay tuned for three episodes of the DragonCon Minute! Episode One: Sanford Greene CLE: Hi, this is…
Bluewater Productions is a comic company best known today for publishing political biographical comics, initially based on IDW’s election comics, with the likes of Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Colin Powell and Ted Kennedy before expanding into dead performers like Michael Jackson, authors like Stephanie Myer and, well, dogs like Bo Obama. They also publish licensed…
Okay, so the comic hasn’t exactly been coming out to schedule. But Mark Millar and Tony Harris’ Image comic about super-powered soldiers fighting in the Middle-East, selling technology to the other, and exposing their genitals in splash pages, made a strong impact on initial release and, after Kickass, will probably make a fine film deal….
Last month, Brendon Connelly of /film and occasionally Bleeding Cool wrote; While there’s no official announcement of US distribution for Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, the puzzle pieces really are starting to click into shape now. I’m of the mind that, most likely, the American release date for the film is going to…
Steve Bissette helps launch the Vermont Monster Guide he illustrated – with pictures of the event at the Centre Of Cartoon Studies here. The next events are listed here. Will the D23 DisneyCon give us any more Marvel/Disney scoops or will it all be about theme parks? The Washington Times cite Squirrel Girl as evidence…
I know we already ran a Noel Clarke story this morning, but this poster suddenly makes me want to do another. Reign of Death is a sci-fi pulp noir detective short film, starring Noel Clarke, written and directed by Matthew Savage, using extensive CG backgrounds to portray a stylised reality, as in 300 and Sin…
Everyone knows that Saturdays are for cartoons! And at DragonCon, Saturday was for one very special cartoon in particular—The Venture Bros. And so, our Bleeding Cool operative ventured forth into the unexplored halls of the Hyatt Regency Atlanta to attend DragonCon’s Venture Bros. panel! Due to the popularity of the series, fans were met with…
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…
