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,…
Diamond UK have confirmed to retailers that this week’s comics didn’t make it to the UK before volcanic ash in the atmosphere grounded all flights. They write; Please note that due to current Air Traffic circumstances we have not received any new Diamond UK product from the US for release this week. There’s also a…
The man who brought back Doctor Who to television five years ago and who recently handed over the keys to the TARDIS to Steven Moffat, is to return to the Doctor again. Russell T Davies will be writing the Eleventh Doctor, as portrayed by Matt Smith, in upcoming episodes of spinoff series The Sarah Jane…
C2E2Watch: The Chicago Tribune post-match-analysis of the Chicago show. At that moment, a woman at the next table stood and walked away. Her cell phone tumbled from her coat pocket and landed quietly on the carpet. Batman sprang to his feet. He ran after her, his purple cape flapping behind him, a jiggle to the…
There’s a bit of an unwritten rule in comics, that you don’t slag off another creator or their work. Do-as-you-would-be-done-by is the general rule, and when broken regularly by certain people, it can see said individuals ostracised as a result. It’s a rare act, which make it all the more newsworthy when it happens. Take…
Greg Baldino continues to report for Bleeding Cool from the floor of C2E2. In a weird way C2E2 is a much welcomed throwback as a con. These days most of your big conventions tend to promote themselves as “entertainment exhibitions,” bringing in as many celebrities, sports figures, and media promotions as they possibly can. C2E2…
Geoffrey D Wessel has written a story for a to-be-announced Image anthology. A comic called There Is A Light with John Keogh. Together they also had a page in Phonogram Vs The Fans. He has mini-comics. And he’s working on a Zuda submission. And he’s at C2E2 seeing if he can drum up a little…
The Marvel X-Men Panel is in full flow at C2E2. And amongst news of Layla Miller getting off with Jamie Maddrox, there are a lot of issue 1 mutant books coming through the evolutionary pipe. Chris Clarmont and Al Rio are doing New Mutants Forever #1 in August. Presumably not following on from the Rob…
Greg Baldino continues to report for Bleeding Cool from the floor of C2E2. Comics aren’t the only things on sale at C2E2. There’s been a number of toy vendors on the floor including Rotofugi, a local purveyor of designer toys. They’ve got two new models premiering at C2E2, but if you miss out you can…
Tomorrow, in my role as Avatar Foreign Rights Manager (I know, I laugh just to type it) I’m attending the London Book Fair at Earl’s Court (sans children for once, though I’ll have the little one with me on Tuesday and Wednesday) courtesy of Diamond Book Distrubutors. They’re putting the boat out of this one,…
Greg Baldino continues to report from the floor of C2E2 for Bleeding Cool. So far impressions at C2E2 have been pretty good. “We’ve been having the time of our lives,” said Nerd City member Max Minor, who along with his cohort Kesey Fleming has been seeing a lot of people come to their booth as…
The new colour range does feel reminiscent of the old iMac ads. And removing the horizontal slots and the chunky connections from eyepiece to helmet has helped make the whole look a lot smoother and Appleish, more of a clickwheel approach I guess. But what’s with the back protrusion? Are these to be hump backed…
Mark Bagley’s work on Ultimate Spider-Man helped redefine Marvel Comics in the 2000s, and who left DC to work on the Trinity series and is currently working on JLA,. Well, Bagley who is attending the C2E” convention in Chicago, reportedly told a few people yesterday that his three years exclusive contract at DC would be…
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…
