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,…
The past week DC Comics held a creative retreat for a number of high-profile creators. And as part of it, mobile phones and devices were been told off and people asked not to twitter as a result. Which is why Geoff Johns went twitter dark from November 7th after posting; Out with Blackest Night editor…
Bleeding Cool ran a piece on the Bloomingdale’s DC Comics 75th Anniversary T-shirt range a month ago. But they’ve recently updated their site with a bunch of other products. Just in time for the Christmas season. So why not buy your loved one this stylish cashmere scarf? A snip at $225. Or this stylish tie…
You know you’re a geek when this Yahoo news headline totally throws you. Thanks to Lee Barnett…
Neil Gaiman has been talking about the origins of his short silent film Statuesque starring Bill Nighy, that he wrote and directed as part of a series for Sky TV. The idea came from the fact that before Amanda was a rock star, she used to be a human statue. I realised it was a…
And as the mega-successful anonymous call-girl blog writer Belle De Jour reveals herself to be one Dr Brooke Magnanti, beating an ex-boyfriend looking for a payoff to the punch, I suddenly remember I know that name. Magnanti wrote occasionally in her scientific guise for Barbelith, the Grant Morrison/Invisibles spinoff forum site. Stuff like this; “We…
Tony Lee continues to spin the Indian press as if they are his playthings. Which they are! And they tell us; Lee is currently working on Journal, a comic book featuring a fictional love story. — The Guardian asks where is the Osama Tezuka credit in all the Astro Boy movie fuss. And also reminds…
This is a special edition of Look! It Moves! by screenplay reader Adi Tantimedh, one day early, as AMC’s The Prisoner is airing in the USA tonight.And he wanted to warn you… The Prisoner… of Crappy Remakes Let’s get this out of the way: THE PRISONER remake is shit. Pointless, generic shit. Yes, it’s pretty-looking…
This feels like one of those headlines you make up by pressing three random buttons. But, no, on the eve of the new Doctor Who episode, legendary fantasy author Michael Moorcock is becoming part of the extended franchise. The author of the Elric, Eternal Champion and Jerry Cornelius novels, and an inspiration to many creators…
Tony Lee’s propensity for self promotion that have seen him dubbed the new Mark Millar (on that point – Kieron Gillen is the new Grant Morrison, Antony Johnston is the new Alan Moore, and Andy Diggle is the new Garth Ennis, that’s how it works) Anyway, not even Mark Millar was flown out by the…
Paul Tierney attended the ComICA talk on behalf of Bleeding Cool with James Jean and Tara McPherson last Friday. Like many of the talks at ComICA in the ICA, Fabulous: James Jean & Tara McPherson was originally scheduled to take place in the 90-capacity Nash Room. However demand for tickets was so great that the…
Chris Donald, co-founder of Viz Comic, now celebrating its thirtieth anniversary is a little annoyed. He retired from Viz Comic ten years ago on the back of his fortune made. But he’s not too please with the currrent management and creative team for agreeing to a Viz exhibition at the Tate Britain gallery in London….
A couple of weeks ago, /Film ran a podcast with X2 screenwriter Mike Dougherty, which touched on his treatment for X-Men 3 that got lost in the shuffle from director Bryan Singer to Matthew Vaughan to Brett ratner, though a few pieces still seem to have remained. And the chaps at First Showing have done…
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…
