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,…
That’s it. A new series, X-Files/30 Days of Night from DC Comics will be announced at C2E2. Could it be a crossover? Mulder And Scully go to Barrow? DC and IDW together? X-Files previously had a comic series published by Topps and more recently DC’s Wildstorm imprint. But 30 Days Of Night was created by…
In the Heroic Age, as suspected, it looks like Steve Rogers will no longer take the Captain America monker, leaving that to Bucky Barnes to sport. Instead he will star in a new Marvel book, Steve Rogers: Super Soldier, written by Captain America scribe Ed Brubaker and drawn by Dale Eaglesham. Marvel will be announcing…
I never played the famed roleplaying boardgame when young – not that I was above such things, or not nerdy enough, far from it – but I had an evangelical Christian mother who forbade such things. I wasn’t even allowed to watch the, admittedly rather awful cartoon based on the game, let alone read the…
The Forbes Fictional 15 List, looking at the fifteen richest “living” fiction characters is out. And new entry, straight in at number one, is Carlisle Cullen, “patriarch of the Cullen coven of vampires in the Twilight series of novels”. After living for 370 years, Cullen has managed to amass a fortune of $34,000,000,000. finally knocking…
Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev announced their first Icon book for Marvel Comics on G4′s Attack of The Show yesterday, with geek goddess Blair Butler. What the “OX” teaser means is still unknown (unless its a bird-eye view of the creators), (yeah, obviously it’s her tits, how could I miss that) but this will be…
The big news in the UK this morning was that an erupting volcano in Iceland has sent a cloud of volcanic ash across the ocean, into British airspace and grounding every flight for an indeterminate period, a real fear of the fine dust entering the engines and causing irrepairable damage mid-flight. And while Britain, for…
Right now, Bleeding Cool is being slammed by Argentinians trying to find out where Kick Ass is showing near them. How do I know this? Because Bleeding Cool is the top search engine result for “Kick Ass Domestico” Anyway. I have the tracking figures for Kick-Ass, opening in the US tomorrow. And I can’t simply…
Yesterday, Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards signed Turf #1 at Forbidden Planet in London – the shop notable for taking over a thousand preorders from customer for the comic in question. After a slight delay caused by North London roadworks, and then an interview from Leicester Square TV and local press papparazzi, the crowd…
Some of the comics coming out in comic shops next week courtesy of PreviewsWorld and I daresay there’s a few I’ll be looking forward to picking up… 100 Percent TPB… Joe The Barbarian… Ultimate Avengers… Crossed: Family Values… ooh look, Do Anything.

I didn’t think I’d see the day. Pat Lee, the man who used Alex Milne and others to ghost artwork for him, denied to publishers that he was using him and then, when discovered, chose not to pay Alex Milne for publishing Cyberforce and Superman/Batman pages. Pat Lee, the man who with brother Roger Lee, …
We’ve all seen that We Are The X-Men image with the bloody stain The X-Men in some perilous danger? Injury? Death? What does the blood signify? And we’ve also seen that Blade is joining the X-Men on some kind of exchange program. And there’s evidence that Blade is getting a spinoff title to that. Well,…
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…
