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…

So England and the USA are out of the World Cup. To comics! And comics-related things! Another Lying In The Gutters, running through the last week on Bleeding Cool…
Got this story up and early. Sucked all the bandwidth off the internet it seems.
It was just a question. Some people took it as fact. Some were outraged that any website would even ask such a question. What can I say, I understand he’s been seen by the right people.
How to get a well-read piece. Put Arsenal in the headline. It’s that simple. But the point about a disparity of reaction remains.
Warner Bros could have given it to Joss Whedon when he wanted it. They didn’t. Will they make the same mistake with Lauren?
I should do more of this. Recreating comic book scenes with other creators voice. Make sure you check the comments for at least one other quirky contribution.
I doubt Bleeding Cool was the first to point out the oddness here. But it was well distilled, a blogger marker for people wanting to make a point.
That is very very pretty Frank Quitely artwork.
Slightly less pretty and kepty in a plastic folder- but could be worth millions of course.
Gail Simone took the lead on this one, retweeting the article into the Top Ten.
It did seem a little incongruous for a respected news statio. Alright, even for Fox News.
Hasting being the first national chain in the USA. It was a scoop but it got pushed out of the top ten and these are the rules. Other scoops suffered too such as DC’s letter to their freelancers – and Marvel’s letter to theirs. Then there was Jeff Lemire signing an exclusive with DC Comics, Mike Mayhew hunting for models for a new Marvel project, Jim Steranko’s attempt to help the Kirby case and DC making Generation Lost returnable,
Doctor Who got well covered with Ten Thoughts, a bit of finale preparation, Glastonbury video and HitchHiker’s Guide To The Daleks.
Commentary on Superman #700, a PG Akira, taking the piss out of unfortunate lettering and Darick Robertson on The Boys. With numbercrunching reviews of Arsenal #4 and Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark. And speculation on the Superman/Batman Annual #4, offering a box set of The Wire to be won, laughing at football tweeting and a free copy of Bulletproof Coffin.

And a big thanks to columnists Adi Tantimedh, Joel Meadows, Si Spurrier, Mike And Aaron, and Eric M Esquivel. And a warm welcome to Brendon Connelly!
Next week this site will look very different…
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.)…
