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 first two lines of the Astronauts In Trouble novel by Larry Young. “Call me Ishmael; everybody else does. And then call me back,” crackled the answering machine over the tinny speakers of the suit radio’s headset. When the eco-terrorist pointed the gun in his face, Dave Archer realized that it probably wasn’t a good…
Andy Diggle writes to say how thankful he is for the cast of The Losers with these shots.
From a new short story by Flying Friar’s Thomas Mauer and Contropussy’s Christian Meesey.
The first page of The Waking, a New York police homicide procedural comic where the victims of these crimes come back from the dead to hunt their murderers. By Raven Gregory and Vic Durichio. From Zenescope.
Emma Viecelli is reworking her Dragon Heir Reborn series from scratch as a webcomic – new art, new script, the lot. And here are three panels to show it off.
We kick off Thanksgiving Day, 1 am in New York, with an unseen storyboard panel from Chris Weston, used in the movie Book Of Eli.
On this American holiday where people express gratitude and thanks for what they have in life – and comics websites take much of the day off – Bleeding Cool will instead be showing off little bits and pieces you may not have seen before, once an hour, through the day, from 1am in New York…
Page Six One Six, the home to comic book industry blind items. Stories told from bar to bar with the serial numbers shaved off. Haven’t done one for these in a while. Let’s find out why not. 1) Which comics publisher sharing a room with one of his artists at a convention this year was…
We’ve all heard about the December 30th skip-week for comics at the end of the year. Because Diamond can’t guarantee that all comic shops will receive goods by that date, they’ve decreed that no shops will receive any product for that week, to be fair all round. So, some publishers have been putting out special…
Denny O’Neil has a long history in the comics industry as both a writer and editor. He’s best known for writing Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Batman, through the seventies, Spider-Man in the eighties and for editing Batman-related titles in the nineties. A widely published novelist and screenwriter, he is currently lecturing at the NYU on…
Today Blackest Night #5 from DC Comics, ships. And the Blackest Night Green Lantern crossover. And the JLA Blackest Night issue with plastic ring, and the increasingly screechy JLA Cry For Justice. And the Blackest Night crossover reprints of Doom Patrol, Booster Gold, REBELS… and all the extra rings they bring. And four Blackest Night…
Weeks after the death of Shel Dorf, Mark Evanier reports that another San Diego Comic Con founding father, Ken Krueger, has died. Evanier remembers one event that, for him, changed the nature of comic conventions; Someone asked, “What should we do with him?” and Ken instantly replied, “Call the police.” That may seem like the…
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…
