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,…
David Tennant’s last words playing The Doctor? “You two with me, spit spot.” Two Minute Timelord takes four minutes to run through the Russell T Davies era. Oh and… “One of the things I’m going to miss is being in a comic strip every week. It tickles a curious part of one’s vanity, and I’ll…
Eleven comic-related bloggers all committed to updating their blogs on Christmas Day. Why not check them out? 1. The Nerdery Blog Greg Hyatt’s blog does, well, exactly what it says on the tin. 2. Geek To Me Elliot Serrano’s geek-related blog for Chicago Now will be posting on Christmas Day, as will his YouTube show….
One exclusive page from The Twelve: Spearhead written and drawn by Chris Weston, a prequel to the Twelve series by JMS and Weston. Out in March! And while we’re at it, a look at Weston’s storyboards from The Book Of Eli at The Look Of Eli…
You won’t read any spoilers for Blackest Night #6 in this post, which shipped to comic stores this week, to be held for next week, when Diamond Comics Distributors aren’t shipping any titles at all. And indeed copies don’t seem to have been put on sale yet by any shop. I’ve had no reports of…
First, Nick Barrucci of Dynamite tells me that all ten issues of the upcoming Green Hornet comic by Kevin Smith have been completed. No worries there. The comic book sees Smith adapting his own unproduced screenplay of Green Hornet as a comic book, drawn by Black Terror’s Jonathan Lau. And the first issue is adorned…
Okay, Deadpool is strangely, unbelievably, unexplainably popular now. After struggling to keep his ongoing series, he now has three or them. But March takes this to a new level. Nine new Deadpool comics. Deadpool #21, Deadpool Team Up #895 (Yes they’re still doing that joke), Deadpool Merc With A Mouth #9, Prelude To The Deadpool…
Yesterday British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mirror ran an interview with Russell T Davies, showrunner and re-creator of Doctor Who, as he steps down and hands the reins to Steven Moffat. During the interview he talked about what he expected to happen to the BBC if/when a Conservative government is elected in the UK next…
SherlockWatch: Now Dan Lin, producer of Sherlock Holmes is adding to the lie that it was based on a graphic novel. Doesn’t he read Bleeding Cool? So, as you probably know, as a development exec I’m the buyer. You know, this Sherlock Holmes I initially bought the graphic novel from Lionel Wigram and set it…
See it’s not just Doctor Who. Starting on Monday on BBC1, a new adaptation of John Wyndham’s Day of The Triffids. The original fifties novel saw the world blinded by a meteor shower, only to be preyed upon by killer plants the Triffids, with their moving roots and deadly stings. Very much a precursor to…
Oh you Americans. You get your Pixar films months before us Brits do. You got Bad Santa a whole year before we did. And Hamlet 2 didn’t even reach us, despite starring one of our leading comedy lights. So forgive us poor misbegotten limeys if we revel in the fact that we get Kick Ass…
Apparently it’s Christmas. Sheltered as I am from such festive frippery in my sticky saunapit of meat-flavoured bitterness; sick as I am with the taste of a billion badly-cooked and overpriced turkeys; poor as I am with the fading expectation of Big And Awesome Presents (having already announced my inability to buy anybody anything half…
Already popular in Italy, Disney have just launched their digital comics line on the iPhone and PSP in the US and UK. Already published by Boom!, these are the Italian Disney comics line translated for the English speaking market – Disney characters placed in fantastic situations, so we have The Wizard Of Mickey and Superduck…
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…
