We’ve just had Manhattan Projects from Image, the latest in a run of fantasy science comics (and yes, I have my own somewhere in the pipeline). In August we get the next one, from Top Cow’s Matt Hawkins and Rahsan Ekedal, Think Tank. And it’s hard not get the original Manhattan Project fear from this…
Bleeding Cool has been banging on a bit about DC Comics giving their New 52 all zero issues in September, returning to regular numbering in October, to commemorate the one year anniversary of the reboot. DC have not released all their August shipping details. To back up our thesis, we could do with a lot…
It may have been Free Comic Book Day a weekend ago. But that doesn’t mean everything was left to undulate in the breeze. Take this scene from the Marvel FCBD Ultron War #0.1. An exact reprint of Avengers #12.1 yes? Well, not exactly. Here’s the original. Looks like there was a little creative colouring going…
In September, DC Comics publishes zero issues of the New 52, to celebrate the year anniversary of the revamp. Some books however, it seems, may not make it that far. Justice League International #12 will be the last issue of the series. An interesting decision as it outsells the like of Suicide Squad, Superboy, Birds…

Busy week at Lying In The Gutters. I mean it’s not all been porn. Just some of it. Remarkable really – considering all that we’ve seen and not even a whiff of nudity. Okay, so what have people been reading on Bleeding Cool?
This was huge. A very early link to a new trailer to this much-anticipated production featured Batman performing the Batusi. And everyone loved it – especially the folks at IGN!
Last week’s number one story is still this week’s second most popular. Never had this happen before. Will it still be around next week?
That’s right, give an article a controversial headline even on a Sunday and the hits flood in. It overstretched, it missed out important exceptions, but in a similar fashion to Women In Refrigerators there was a valid point to be made. That someone seems to have taken their eye of the ball of unfortunate consequence.
Not exactly how intentional this Diamond Previews reveal was. But once it’s jumped out, you can never put the frog back in the box. And of course, who knew just how controversial this comic book would be…
Oh yes, did you think we’d forgotten this little number? The Batman XXX director gets his geek out for the lads.
That was it. Nothing more or less. Well, it was rather lovely I suppose.
Erik Larsen joined the comments, elevating this Swipe File up a few notches in terms of readers. One of the most popular swipe files Bleeding Cool has run.
By-the-by, the incorrect cat referred to in this article is actually a cat belonging to the author who inserts himself in the narrative…
This one didn’t do too badly either. And there’s this Dark Tower cover thing that seems to want in on the swipey action.
Thought this might have had some more play somehow. Anyway, the ant is his penis. Or something.

In my Avengefuls comic for Boom!, I had President Obama shooting Osama Bin Hulk in the head with the line “guns don’t kill terrorists, Presidents kill terrorists.” It felt right. We know President Obama used to read comics. Even when he was all grown up. Appearing on The View, he was asked about Kardashians, Fifty…
Heritage Auctions is selling the original art to the cover of Spider-Man #1 by Todd McFarlane, on behalf of its owner Martin Shamus, father of Wizard Magazine‘s Gareb and Steven Shamus. The cover of Wizard #1 was famously based on this cover. It’s iconic and probably bsums up nineties comics better than any other….
Can’t quite work out the motivation here. But a customer of the Regal Cinema in Abingdon, Baltimore, was rather annoyed to discover that the showing of The Avengers that he’d paid to see had captions. He remonstrated with cinema staff who offered him a refund or replacement tickets. He refused both and returned to his…
Larry Young writes for Bleeding Cool; THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE AVENGERS MOVIE. I’m not a person who puts much truck into “spoilers,” because I’m an old-school entertainment consumer. Back in 1980, I bought the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back and found out Yoda was a little blue yard gnome. The experience…

This morning, Bleeding Cool reported the news that Neal Adams was to draw and co-write a First X-Men book with Christos Gage, following sources and stories over two years old. We presumed it was his much-promised and signed-off Wolverine series. Well, it looks like we were half right. (UPDATE: Oh look, Wolverine is in it.)…
