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,…
Here are the Fringe alternate universe covers alongside the real life covers, as seen in last night’s episode in the US. The one I really want to know more about is Justice League. Did Jonah Hex get one-punched out too?
It’s only days since we heard about the cancellation of one of my favourite comics, Air. And now I’m told that another favourite, Unknown Soldier is for the chop, with issue 25. This complex treatise into the politics of war from the top down and the bottom up is a gem. And sadly only about…
Oh don’t groan, there’s going to be a lot worse gags than that in the pipeline. Morgan Spurlock, the successful documentary maker and creator of “Super Size Me” is coming to Con. And he’s bringing a film crew. Along with Joss Whedon, Stan Lee and Harry Knowles, they’ll be making a documentary of Comic Con…
Welcome to Taco Bell’s parody of Super Friends, drawn by Neal Adams and animated by Continuity Studios, as the Super Delicious Ingredient Force take on the Cruddy Burger Combo… Just so you know what’s been delaying Batman: Odyssey. Lots of silly interactive stuff here – especially this one – and a promise of two more…
Come on Chris, stop doing this kind of thing and get back to your Superman and Batman movies. Oh go on then, I suppose so, let’s have a look at your new shiny comic-bookless thing with twelve-year old Leonardo DiCaprio…
Here’s a clip from the upcoming Unearthing multi-media supergroup event previously covered by Bleeding Cool. Based on the novella published in London: City Of Disappearances, Alan Moore talks about the history of fellow writer, Fortean Times editor, and friend Steve Moore as it collides with Stan and Jack’s Marvel and creates the UK’s first comic…
Earlier this week, the DC blog posted this image by Ivan Reis. Comic Book Resources believed it may be a redrawn image for DC’s 75th Anniversary variant covers. But instead it was one of a number of alternative universe versions of comics that appeared in last night’s finale of Fringe. If you are spoiled by…
Tickets are now on sale for the Doctor Who Live! Event travelling the UK later in the year. Featuring special scenes with Matt Smith have been videoed for the show, combined with live appearances by a medley of Doctor Who aliens, including Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Judoon and Oods. Developed with Doctor Who showrunner Steven…
WeightWatch: Mark Evanier talks about the upcoming fifteen pound 75 Years Of DC Comics tome and what it may mean. But somehow, without ever once really seeking work there, I’ve managed to turn up in their books intermittently for forty years…or about nineteen Wonder Woman makeovers. BloodWatch: The trailer for Paul Cornell’s Pulse for BBC3….
Titan Magazines already publish Torchwood comic strips inside their UK Torchwood magazine, focussed on the Doctor Who alien hunting spinoff TV series Torchwood. With some rather snazzy names. Indeed it was a Paul Grist credit that made me pick up the magazine. And Titan Books have collected one or two of the strips in trade…
It wasn’t mentioned with the other Marvel solicitations for August. But it’s there on the Previews order form. Kick Ass 2: Balls To The Wall, for August. Some had thought that the first issue would debut in September’s launch of CLiNT Magazine, but this appears to be an early bid by Marvel to make sure…
Another one from the Virgin Comics Liquid Comics vault coming through the Dynamite pipe is Ani-Max. Originally created as a live-action television format by Virgin Liquid’s Sharad Devarajan and Gotham Chopra, that presumably didn’t happen. So now they are trying to get a cartoon out of it. And to that aim, ex-Virgin editor and Hal…
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…
