Aaron and Mike of A Comic Show want to help fix what’s wrong with the comics industry, they swear they’ll start a regular bombastic op/ed column here on Bleeding Cool.

Jim Lee’s Hidden Tribute To Carla
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.

Why that would be Brian Michael Bendis, writer of every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man for ten years. Bendis is…

Lying In The Gutters – 11th January
Well that’s what I thought when I first found out the news. A few hours before DC announced it.I was all ready to ask DC Comics about it when they got in the office… then the Source ran the story at 9am and have just kept following up ever since… Anyway, it was a hectic…
So Just How Will Angel Be Appearing In Buffy: Season 8? (SPOILERS)
We’ve seen the cover to Buffy The Vampire Slayer #34 featuring the non-twinkly vampire love-of-her-life, Angel. So can we expect the long-awaited crossover between the Dark Horse Buffy and IDW Angel series? Not a bit of it. IDW picked up the rights to publish comics featuring the character Angel and the cast of the Angel…
Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #32: The Long Reach of Tarkovsky’s Zone
About once every month, I find myself thinking about the films of Andrei Tarkovsky or talking about them with friends. I suppose he’s being held as a kind of arthouse cinematic ideal these days because he was one of the last directors who could work with major resources to create movies that weren’t commercial but…
DC/Marvel Confluence: Heroic Age Vs Brightest Day
Marvel kill Captain America, let his sidekick take over, sent the character in a metaphysical journey through time, eventually returning him to the role. And DC do the same with Batman. DC have their dead characters returning to life in Blackest Night. And Marvel do the same with Necrosha. Hell, they both gave their employees…
John C Reilly Off RED, John Malkovich On
It’s a day for movie switcheroos it seems. And Red, the movie based on Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner’s mini-series for Wildstorm, is trading up with one of its leads. Okay that’s a bit mean to John C Reilly. Actually, no it isn’t. John Malkovich is a bigger name. Hell, he’s just confirmed he’s playing…
Monday Morning Newspapers, Christians And Reshoots
JuxtapositionWatch: Thank you Daily Telegraph, for your website software for joining such wonderfully compatible stories and advertisments togather; ChristianWatch: A Christian-focused review of Robert Crumb’s The Book Of Genesis; The real thrill in this volume for me was simply rereading Genesis again with visual reinforcement.

Stuart Townsend Off Thor, Joshua Dallas On
Just as he did on Lord Of The Rings, Stuart Townsend has jumped ship from Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, where he was to have played that part of Fandral, of th Warriors Three. Maybe it’s because Stuart Townsend was starting more and more to resemble Volstagg?

New Sherlock Viral? Or Something Geekier?
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…
Frank Miller Redraws The Dark Knight
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…
The Amazing Spider-Man Is Tidied Up A Little By An Official Blurb
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…
Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series
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…
The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
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…
Warner Bros. Nix ElfQuest Movie, Pin Blame On The Hobbit
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…
