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,…
By rights I should be asleep right now. Left the Wizard World party at Pier 92 last night where Jim Lee was holding court to meet up with Heidi Macdonald, Ben Mcool, the Avatar Mcrew, and associated Mcne’erdowells in an Irish Sports Bar on 9th in a bit of a daze. Plans were hatched, experiences exchanged and…
Jim Lee was asked by a fan during his panel at the Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con if he would be working on Justice League in the next few months. Lee replied “wouldn’t that be awesome” before saying with a glint that it would be “foolish, foolish” to suggest that a late artist such…
This afternoon, Jim Lee told his Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con audience that the Wildstorm games license Gears Of War #1 was the best selling US comic book 2008, though he wouldn’t give the numbers… DC gained a small reputation for not exactly talking up the sales achievements of these titles as Gears Of…
When they had to close the doors of Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con, well, this happened.
Close the doors! Cap the line! One in, one out. Yes, it seems the Big Apple Comic Con has reached capacity. Fire marshals are doing what fire marshals do best, which in this case means preventing people from coming in to have their photo taken with Linda Hamilton and Adam West. Yesterday I was able…
On October 9th, Bleeding Cool ran the story that there had been parental complaints that their son had taken out the first volume of the popular manga series Dragon Ball from Pittsville Elementary and Middle School and as a result, the book had been pulled from all appropriately named Wicomico School Libraries. Returning the books to the shelves, appropriately…
Okay, so I spent almost all last night perched on the porcelain in a daze of confusion and… let’s say “stomach issues” shall we? Not sure if that meal last night was entirely sterile. So here I am at Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con 2009, tired, dazed and not entirely sure what is…
With less than a week to go till Dave Sim’s online TV station Cerebus TV goes live, Sim gets in touch to let us know how it’s coming together; Things are moving a few days behind on the technical side, but everyone seems pretty confident that it will all be done in time. I did…
The Big Apple Comic Con diet: 1. Eat a lot from the hotel complimentary buffet. A lot. No seriously. Put a croissant in your pocket. 2. Walk and walk and walk and walk around the booth that William Shatner is signing in waiting for a prearranged interview until you lose ten pounds. Don’t eat. You’ll…
Well, the bottomless-in-a-far-too-mini-kilt Suicide Girl was keen to take an interest in the Shamus’ brother new online venture GeekChicDaily. And who can blame her. It must not be allowed to stand of course, Bleeding Cool must rouse its Chinese readers to point a DNS attack on the new website at the first opportunity. There are…
Good morning America! Hope you all survived yesterday’s Bleeding Cool brownout, I was in mid air and internetless till, well, till Wizard World Big Apple Con turned on the Wi-Fi about ten seconds ago and I could press Publish. And you know what? it’s faster than my home broadband, especially uploading. Appreciated, guys. As I…
News From The SpurSphere: Rum and uncanny Goings On this week, as my time on this Spanish Island Of Odd comes to its last, unhappy month. What follows — I warn you — smacks not of the Hate and ranty nonsense you’ve come to know and tolerate every week, but whiffs instead of something disgustingly…
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…
