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…
This is the cover to the final issue of Battle Scars for April, just in time for the Avengers movie. Well, I guess we know why it has that title now. I thought this may have been the case on the thumb nail but the full size version confirms it. Bleeding Cool has been running…
WARNING – There are spoilers for certain Marvel titles published today. In Uncanny X-Men of late, we’ve had a Celestial standing around near Utopia, which became a major plot point for Sinister’s machinations recently that saw the X-Men have to stare down the coming Celestials, god-like aliens responsible for the mutations in humanity, and created…
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…
ListWatch: DC Comics lists DCU trade paperbacks and hardcovers coming this autumn. We get a confirmation on my big buy of the year, Absolute All Star Superman, Hitman continues to get reprinted which bodes well for teh continuance of the collections, a Legion Of Superheroes: Prologue To Darkness gets reprinted, which may indicate a reprint…
I said that this would be a $10 book by the weekend. I was wrong. Copies of Captain America #602, featureing an anti-tax protest labelled racists by one character, and mistakenly identified as Tea Party protesters by one of the placards they are holding due to Marvel production errors, are selling right now on eBay…
I love running a headline like that one. Earlier this morning, I ran a piece on the most recent issue of Captain America causing some concern amongst those associated with the Tea Party movement, believing themselves to be portrayed as racist buffoons. Naturally Fox News got involved, targeting writer Ed Brubaker over the signage used…
What is this, all new superhero TV shows at the Bar and Grill? Days after reviewing NBC’s action adventure superhero-turned-villain-but-really-hero pilot script, The Cape, I get another, this time the fourth network draft for ABC’s No Ordinary Family, a smart family superhero comedy drama starring Michael Chiklis from The Shield. That’s right folks, four years…
Here are seventeen recently published comic books that are currently breaking the $50 barrier based on actual reported sales. No CGC, no chase variant covers, no signed editions, no hardcovers or out-of-print collections, just the bare bones of your standard floppy comic book. Do you have any of these in your collection? If so… how…
Fox News has quoted Ed Brubaker on the Captain America furore that Bleeding Cool picked up on this morning. The latest issue of Captain America features a protesting crowd, that appears to be part of the “Tea Party” organised protests in the USA, against the current adminstration. The character Falcon, a prominent black superhero comments…
I do like Dustin Nguyen’s comic book art. And I really don’t like the DC Source blog’s method of displaying preview art as a series of thumbnails. It’s not user friendly, it’s unwieldly, it’s a bit Web 1.2. So consider this a friendly intervention. A Flash reader display of the preview art to Mike Benson…
The movie Red, based on the Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner comic book is filming in Toronto right now. Starring the likes of Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Richard Dreyfuss, all that. And, as those who’ve read the comic know, it’s a guns-a-blazing action adventure. A little bit too much action it…
This is a warning to those who know comic book artist John McCrea, artist of Hitman, Dicks, Herogasm and more, specifically those people who may be Facebook friends with the man. It appears that McCrea’s Facebook account has been hacked, and messages sent to certain friends of his. The scammer claims that McCrea has just been…
Blake Morrow is an art director working in Canada. Here is his website. Easy to find, I just searched for Blake Morrow. But odds are, very shortly, that’ll be harder to do. Because Blake Morrow is the $8,400 winner of the charity prize to have the hero cop character in Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s…
Nevs Coleman has worked in a number of comic shops including Comics Showcase, Orbital and 30th Century Comics. He writes for Bleeding Cool; So you want to work in Comics Retail? I’ve been asked about this a few times over the years, so thought I’d share my experience with you. Hope this is useful to…
PoliticsWatch: According to the Publius Forum, Marvel Comics are using the Captain America comics to accuse people who attend the so-called “Tea Party” gatherings of being dangerous racists. So, there you have it, America. Tea Party protesters just “hate the government,” they are racists, they are all white folks, they are angry, and they associate…
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…

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…
