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,…
Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you about the existence of misprinted examples of DC’s Blackest Night promotional items and name them Error Rings, where the symbol printed on the ring did not match its colour. At the time such error rings started to sell for about $15. Then the success of the Blackest…

Okay so Brits saw Doctor Who: End Of Time Part One earlier today and it’s already heating up the illegal downloads. But if things are a bit slow on the seeding front, don’t worry, BBC America will be showing it in its full HD glory tomorrow. But before you get a chance to see that,…
Okay, in Northamption. Burlesque photographer James Thorpe attended Alan Moore’s Dodgem Logic launch party the other month and has kindly allowed Bleeding Cool to reproduce a few of his shots from that night, featuring Alan Moore, Dark Teaser, Khandie Kisses, Nicole Alure, Luli Blue, the Retro Spankees (and Paul Gravett looking most perplexed). And yes,…
Chris Claremont and Tony Lee. One known mostly for X-Men, the other known mostly for his waistcoasts. But both are comic book writers with relatively little public exposure for their non-comics work. So how about an extract from a screenplay from Chris Claremont and from a novel by Tony Lee? Firstly from the unnamed screenplay,…
Play the game of Chris Giarrusso’s G-Man, G-MAN: ESCAPE FROM DARK FOREST. And not Pac Man. Oh no. Chris has a Mini-Marvels Ultimate Collection out this week, as well as his G-Man: Learning to Fly digest still available, collecting all of his G-Man material before his G-Man: Cape Crisis mini-series, which concludes this January.
McCoy: Frontier Doctor is a new mini-series from IDW by John Byrne, starring our favourite cantankerous medic, Bones McCoy, set between the original TV series and the movie. In addition to the standard covers, Byrne is doing a number of incentive gag covers – literally. And here they all are!
Dan Slott has just tweeted an entire comic book from 2006. Surely a Twitter first? Follow his achievement here… and I hope he, James Fry and Andrew Pepoy don’t mind this…
That would be Darick Robertson, Jonathan Ross, Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, Alex Ross and Kieron Gillen of course… That would be Darick Robertson, Kieron Gillen, Neil Gaiman and Alex Ross…

This visual, Solstice Sol’jer by Larry Marder, looks into the heart of the Summertime cycle of Beanworld, which starts in the next all new graphic novel in Larry Marder’s Beanworld series from Dark Horse. Beanworld is one of the greatest comic books ever published. It starts simply showing the life cycle of the Beans, characters…
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…
