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,…

CapWatch: Hayley Atwell confirms that Tommy Lee Jones will be in the Captain America movie. Thanks Hayley! CubicleWatch: Pajiba report that Ken Kwapis will be directing a live-action movie based on the Dilbert comic strip. The Jonah Hex trailer seems to be in response to poor reaction to the first, by upping the supernatural elements…
Platinum Studios has been accused of burning and burning investment cash over the last couple of decades – with occasional skirmishes, scams, missed payments and dodgy deals on the way – but finally could its day have come? On the back of the high profile filming of Cowboys & Aliens this summer, twenty years in…
Well, yes, the Batman XXX: A Porn Parody DVD has been finally released. And so we can see the front cover – sadly far more coverered with splashes, logos and the like than originally. But it’s the back cover that kind of hammers this home to you. I guess I’d been treating this as some…
Clifford Meth’s has a new anthology out from Aardwolf Press, The Whorehouse Madrigals, under the punk pseudonym Hank Magitz, with illustrations from Mike Henderson. And tonight at a launch party at Manitoba’s Bar in New York from 7.30pm, owner and punk performer Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators will be reading from the tome. Other…
Blimey, it seems an age since we ran one of these. Anyway, here’s a preview of the new issue of Warren Ellis’ Wolfskin, out from Avatar today in the US/Canada and tomorrow in the UK. You know how this goes, Before history was recorded in stone and ink, some men wrote it in blood! An…
Looks like this was the gameplan for quite some time. Bleeding Cool reported recently on the Dynamite aquisition and Glee-like cover for The Phantom. Well, it looks like The Defenders Of The Earth are back together again. Dynamite have the rights to Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician and The Phantom. And we will soon be…
Tim Buckley of CTRL-Alt-DEL has responded to Swipe File allegations. He writes; As I’m sure you’ll notice, Abby’s clothing has changed. When drawing new characters or outfits for existing characters, I’ll often look at people or pictures of people and how they dress. For instance, for the wedding arc I went tuxedo and wedding dress…
In the spirit of a certain hands-on Blackest Night cover, here comes John Constantine on the cover of Hellblazer #267. Now, is that a line of lights crossing a bridge or has the street-level sorceror had a little accident? Well, it is rather a long way down.
Tim Pilcher writes for Bleeding Cool: Last night I went and saw Dan Clowes and Chris Ware in conversation with Paul Gravett at the Brighton Dome. The trio had just flown back from Copenhagen’s Komiks.dk festival (with Peter Stanbury) and had done a signing at Gosh before heading down to the South Coast. Or rather,…
A relatively-small British DVD company is putting out something very special indeed. The movie adaptation of Astro Boy‘s Osamu Tezuka’s Garasu no Nō or The Glass Brain from 2000. Retitled Sleeping Bride, directed by Ring and Dark Water movie director Hideo Nakata, this has been unavailable for official sale in the West, though it was…
There are many ways to break into the comic book industry. Impress an editor with your skills. Work as an intern at a publisher. Network successfully. Write a successful movie. Be Samuel L Jackson. Well now you can add cosmetic surgery to the list. 29 year old model Karla-Rae Morris received $8,000 of breast implants…
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…
