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,…
It was the big pirate scoop of the year. An early release of Wolverine, which the studios swore was different to the final release, but turned out to be exactly the same but with more end-of-credits scenes. Nevertheless the fuss probably proved a boost to its box office takings, despite pretty poor reviews all round….
EurhythmicWatch: Has Dave Stewart bought into Liquid Comics? That’s what I’m hearing. Stewart had a number of comic book projects published by Virgin. DigitalWatch: The PSP Comics Store has launched. And here’s a list of available books… 2000AD, Aleister Arcane, The Amazing Spider-Man, Annihilation, Archie & Friends, Astonishing X-Men, Astro Boy: Movie Adaptation, Astro Boy:…
Two films. One director. One poster.
Because the Leah Moore/John Reppion/Aareon Campbell collection of Sherlock Holmes ships today, Dynamite very kindly allowed Bleeding Cool to host the full issue 1, for free, legally, no problems. Thank you Dynamite! That’s The Trial Of Sherlock Holmes. Oh and look, John Cassaday cover. How nice.
Friend of Bleeding Cool, Brendon Connelly of /Film is reporting that Studio Ghibli, the people behind Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle, are adapting classic English children’s book The Borrowers as their next project. I bloody loved The Borrowers as a kid. This will make Eve’s 2010… Already adapted as live action films and TV…
It may have just been sold as a movie but the mighty Gravel keeps rolling along. Warren Ellis and Mike Wolfer continue to give up ground-level, SAS-style sorcery. Hellblazer meets Bravo Two Zero with just a touch of The Sweeney. For those of you who really wish Vertigo had continued with Ellis’ Constantine run, well…
It’s been a sore point of comment for many that over the last few months, the monthly comics magazine Wizard: The Guide To Comics has been missing its one true innovation – the monthly comics price guide. Although some may question the validity of such a section when prices can be easily observed up to…
Incredible Hercules will finish with issue #150. Originally a stealth comic, taking over the Incredible Hulk’s numbering first as a stunt, then as an ongoing series, the book has been a real breath of fresh air in Marvel’s publishing line, giving the Greek god a higher Marvel profile than he has enjoyed since… well.. ever….
You can see them gumming up the front of the Image section in the most recent Previews. Three books beginning with “CH” pushing other, better known titles out of the way. Chew #9 by Jon Layman and Rob Guillory. Choker #1 by Ben McCool and Ben Templesmith. And Chaae Variant One Shot (Is All I…
Tommorrow, the final episode of the extraordinarily good superhero TV show Misfits airs at 10pm on E4. Seriously, the time travel episode is still the standout and shows Heroes what it could have done but never did, but the whole thing is brilliant. And cos it’s a British show, you only get six episodes. And…
Richard Caldwell talks to creators Len Wallace and artists Michelle Silva and Dave Tuney, creators of Oni’s Love Buzz, for Bleeding Cool. Richard Caldwell: So Len, Michelle and Dave, after a thousand years of waiting, Love Buzz is finally to be released. Take us back to the beginning. Where did the story come from? Is…
Yesterday, a mysterious site calling itself the Centre for the Study of Supernatural Study (CenSSA) launched. Little is meant to be known about the site except that whoever is behind it appears to be pulling together all his research on supernaturals (ie werewolves, vampires and ghosts) and posting daily. Apart from the disclaimer at 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…
