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,…
What does Athena mean to you? She is both the goddess of peace and of war, in a little bit of Grecian spin doctoring there. The tile of an old fifties musical. The kebab shop down the road. A character in Battlestar Galactica. And of course, Athena were the poster company with various pictures of…
This ran in The Sun newspaper yesterday… colour me impressed. Berke Breathed gets interviewed. On why he keeps coming back to his Bloom County characters, he replies; Ever try to lose a girlfriend that you knew was bad for you or keeping you from other things or costing you way too much but the sex…
This is a classic issue that sums up one of the great themes of zombie fiction. That it’s not so much the zombies you have to worry about but other humans. Those that can and do take moral and immoral choices, and can be far more monstrous and lacking in soul than the undead that…
So the big thing that happened was that Matt Murdoch, Daredevil, accepted leadership of ninja assassin crew The Hand. Which is, quite, you know, game changing. One of those change-from-within things. Stop Kingpin controlling them. Making a deal with the devil. Changing their name to Wolfram And Hand as well probably. Which feels monumental for…
Amazing Spider-Man #605 is the comic that keeps on giving. Priced at $3.99 over the normal $2.99, it’s fifty pages of story, which gives the writers room to expand the perspectives within. And everything is concentrated around the love lives of Peter Parker and friends, We get a whole story from Mary Jane Watson’s point…
We know this isn’t the regular spot for Josh Adams’ column What Would Josh Do? (hence the slight change in title) but we thought it was worth a wee interruption to the Bleeding Cool schedule. Take it away Josh! I went to the offices of Marvel Entertainment today at 417 Fifth Avenue, here in New…
I’m told that Diane Nelson visited DC’s New York offices yesterday with big Warner boss Jeff Robinov, seeing employees on a one-to-one basis, introducing herself, finding out exactly what people do (and what they think they do) and setting out a three week timetable to appoint a new DC Publisher. So place your bets, folks,…
The new president of DC Entertainment, Diane Nelson, has been giving a number of interviews, being careful it seems not to offend, give the party line, give generic rather than specific aims – and as a result give all us bloggers enough space to concoct our own conspiracy theories and keep the story ticking over….
The sexually explicit lingerie retailer Agent Provocateur has decided to throw its hands in the air and join geekdowm with a superhero-themed photoshoot and a spin off comic book. Oh yes, and there’s a comic book, like I said. Which seems to double as a catalogue. Very clever there. Created by Marvel/DC artist Staz Johnson,…
So who saw wild man of comics and horror movie director Hart Fisher on The Verminators on the Discovery Channel on Sunday 9 am? Not me, I live in the UK. But if you lived in the states and missed, it, it will be rerunning through the week. And you can even buy it to…
We’re a few weeks away from it’s launch. But what exactly is Cerebus TV? We’ve had some comments, and ideas and even brief programme descriptions from some of his collaborators. But what does Dave Sim have to say about it all? He told Bleeding Cool; What Cerebus TV is about: art and artists talking about…
016 Superman’s head by John Lennon: the wit of his line isn’t unlike Flenniken’s, but it’s less trained, a little more hunting after the idea of the shape than the shape itself. This year he’s mostly been drawing himself going down on Yoko Ono. But he also knows how to capture a gesture, a mannerism,…
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…
