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,…
A few years ago, I wrote a comic book called The Flying Friar, with artist Thomas Nachlik and letterer/editor Thomas Mauer. It was published by Speakeasy, one of the last books they put it. It made no money. But it probably is the best thing I’ve written. Which might not be saying much. Then Markosia…
This is a Judge Dredd image by Tim Bradstreet that’s reportedly circulating Cannes as part of the current movie being pitched around the place. Could this be a mock up for a future movie poster?
DigiWatch: Alien Ink is a new teen webcomic being published in 30 weekly parts by UK broadcaster Channel 4 with publisher Pressure Comics. UPDATE: Why if is it isn’t Brodie’s Law/Pulp Theatre’s David Bircham and Daley Osiyemi finding respectable work. And Spear Of Destiny‘s Jaspre Bark writing? FiringWatch: Publishers Weekly report that manga publisher Viz…
After all that fuss earlier last week about whether colourists are important enough to get cover credit or royalties, Marvel seem to indicate that maybe they should be, by signing an exclusive deal with Elizabeth Breitweiser. Elizabeth has an extremely distinctive style and attractive style which has been used to full effect on the upcoming…
I’ll be talking to director Axel Braun later today about this project, the upcoming Superman XXX and the new Vivid Superhero Line of superhero-based pornographic movies…. but come on people! Batusi!!! Click here for more Bleeding Cool coverage of Batman XXX…
Aaron and Mike discuss conspiracy theory on why so many Marvel big books ship in the scheduled week of Return Of Bruce Wayne… which apparently is awesome. How the ending of Siege is super-suprising and New Avengers is heartfelt. And why Flash is cool. Take it away A Comic Shop guys from Florida!!! Weekly TOP…
A fellow Bleeding Cool contributor (no, not Warren Ellis. The way-less-exciting Geoffrey D. Wessel (note the prevalence of pretentious middle initials among the Bleeding Cool alumni) mocked me via twitter last Tuesday for being too mopey in my column . He and a fistful of other comics professionals (read: “nerds”) urged me to kick it…
Bleeding Cool has previously reported on Marvel’s mysterious “The Fallen” comic book, and has speculated as to whom exactly might or might not be fallen. Well it’s a mystery no longer. And, as everyone expected the previously silhouetted figure with long hair looking all dead was, indeed, the Sentry. And it’s Sentry-creator Paul Jenkins who’ll…
Pat Lee has a new book comic out from Dynamite. When I found out, I slightly flew off the handle a bit. Here’s why. Anyway, now Pat Lee is going into interview mode. And everyone seems to be playing nicey nicey. For comparison, here is a question from Alex Segur Jra’s 2005 Newsarama interview with…
Yes, yes, I know, spoiler alert to all of you who didn’t catch the end of Batman And Robin 12. But to be fair, most of us had guessed where it was heading anyway. But those who didn’t read last weeks comics or who are maybe waiting for the trade, look away now. Cos, yes,…
Spawn, the second longest running book at Image, has been plagued by lateness of late. Although the solicitations keep up a monthly schedule, the book’s publication has slipped and slipped. So what better way to try and help the schedule than by reusing artwork from previous copies of the comic? There have been a number…
I haven’t written this kind of thing for a while. Probably not since David Finch signed with DC Comics. But anyway, there you go, Ryan Stegman, artist on Sif and Incredible Hercules is an exclusive artist for Marvel. I first noticed Ryan’s work on Midnight Kiss, written by Tony Lee, and of late he’s rather…
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…
