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,…
On the left hand side ladies and gentlemen, Joe Quesada’s variant cover for Amazing Spider-Man 638 reinterpreting the classic Spider-Man No More scene. But on the right, the cover to the DVD for Batman: Under The Red Hood. Roll up roll up, place your bets… In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble…
Contrary to Rich’s Jamie Bell reports, some web voices are claiming that Josh Hutcherson has won the role of Peter Parker in the upcoming 3D reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. The story seems to have started at Blue Sky Disney, a site with solid previous results in reporting on the Mouse House. Spider-Man, however, is a Sony…
I was pretty well convinced that any third Hostel film a) would not be directed by Eli Roth b) would go straight to DVD and c) would relocate the main thrust of the story to the US. I don’t think I was being cynical there, just that these are all just sensible choices, if not…
“Let’s face it, the world needs more Pee-Wee Herman” says Judd Apatow. It sure does. It could probably stand a cloned army of Pee Wees. My only question, Mr. Apatow, about your plans for a new Pee Wee Herman movie is this: how does it effect the chances of the current Pee Wee’s Playhouse revival…
The Let Me In trailer is going to hit fairly soon. Want to know what you’ll be seeing? Want to know how it compares to the very high standards of Let The Right One In? If so, here’s a descriptiony review of the trailer from an anonymous Little Bleeder. The point is, really, what he…
Here’s a brief round up of the clues, easter eggs and (very possibly) red herrings in the Paranormal Activity 2 trailer. The most well known of these is a message written on the floor though only visible in the mirror. You may have seen the trailer several times without seeing it – this easter egg…
You can’t say we didn’t warn you. When Bleeding Cool broke the existence of this book I said it was going to be a bit paradigm-shifting for Marvel. The company also tried to hype sales with press conferences in the wake of what seemed like poor orders. Looks like Marvel were right. And the market…
There’s such a fuss about the new look Wonder Woman. Well issue 600, doing the old Marvel regathering of issues tricl, has a lot more from that from all soprts of familiar Wondernames… Cost: $4.99 Story pages: 35 Pin up pages: 9 Preview pages: 5 Stories: 5 Cost per story page: 14.3 cents Cost per…
Revving up to start shooting a US film of The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, David Fincher has his Lisbeth Salander in mind. It would seem he’s thinking on Yo-Landi Vi$$er, co-lead of South African hip-hop outfit Die Antwoord. Now, it isn’t clear – not even to Vulture, who started this story off – if…
I was so out of step on the first one, which I just “kind of liked a bit” despite being told I had to, simply had to, either love it or hate it. You tell me what you think of this trailer for the second installment. I’m just… undecided. Truth be told, I’m not even…
Nightwatch director Timur Bekmambetov recently produced a super-car ‘n’ vigilante picture called Black Lightning. Unsurprisingly, he’s now announced that there’s an English language remake on the cards. More surprisingly, there’s a Chinese-Russian co-production sequel cooking too with Crouching Tiger producer Bill Kong showing interest in getting aboard. Here’s hoping the Ozzies join in for a…
Alex Ronald is a former 2000AD artist best known for his work on the Missionary Man series. But of late, little has been heard of him in the comics industry. Which is because Ronald radically reinvented his style and moved from comics into concept work for movies such as the Nazi zombie Outpost films and…
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…
