DC’s Exclusive War Shifts Focus To Wonder Woman
He’s not ready to be announced yet. Mostly because he’s still got plenty of work at Marvel. But I understand that the good folk at Marvel know that another of their artists will be joining DC on an exclusive basis to work on the upcoming Grant Morrison’s still-yet-to-be-announced Wonder Woman run. But this isn’t as…

Star Wars: Jews For Japan?
The latest edition of Diamond Previews has a listing for what they describe as a Star Wars: Japanese Poster Black T-Shirt. Does it look a little not-Japanese to you? Maybe it’s the font? Maybe it’s my Westernised eyes, not being able to identify kanji, hiragana or katakana letters. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s actually the…

Did Dark Horse Spoil Buffy’s Big Bad To Boost Slipping Sales?
If it’s a wag posting the last page of Blackest Night #6 on a message board that’s one thing. If it’s a toy company posting a new design ahead of its appearance in a comic book that happens. But these days Nekron appears on spoiler covers of Previews, Captain America is reborn before the end…

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.

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…
