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,…
Over the past few months, I’ve covered the basics on obtaining an endorsement for your comic, the importance of getting the right logo and I’ve also looked at the fundamentals of writing and artwork – then I went into the practicalities of writing a comic-book script and attending conventions. I’ve also covered getting your comic…
Bonham are doing another Doctor Who prop/costume auction. And pride of place is the TARDIS prop used on the first series on the revived show, starring Christopher Eccleston. It has an estimated sale value from £8,000 to £12,000 though I have a feeling it could go a lot higher. Here are a few of the…
It’s been on the books for a while. DC’s plans to publish a DC Classics Archive edition of the famous Captain Marvel and The Monster Society Of Evil arc. However, the original stories had quite a number of racially insensitive representations of minorities – the portrayals were of questionable taste at the time the stories…
News From The Spursphere: I’m scum. I’m a wart-weasel of the very worst ilk. I’ve deserted you, my plucky lovetumours, for three long weeks, and can only hope you’ve been able to satisfy the pernicious HateCrave on your own. But I’m not without excuse, and — should it help you to know — I have…
As Marvel’s Shadowland series and spinoff titles starts to kick off, with Daredevil seemingly being reinvented as a supervillain, pitted against Luke Cage, Elektra, Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Wolverine, Moon Knight and more. And Marvel are making sure there will be plenty of copies on retailer shelves. If retailer order more copies of Shadowland #1 than…
A very Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern in this poster, seen by one happy snapping Bleeding Cool reader on the Warner Bros lot. Who happily had his/her camera with him….

Brian Bendis returned to the Word Balloon podcast talking with John Siuntres. They talked about many things, including a Dick Tracy strip that Bendis was offered to write with Mike Oeming drawing. And how it didn’t happen after being quashed by Warren Beatty. They then segued onto a Bleeding Cool piece that asked if a…
Sorry guys, some video from the Blue Beetle live action test footage was part of an SFX showreel for rommel S Calderon went live on YouTube for a few minutes along with Alvin & The Chipmunks and Ben 10, until it was suddenly pulled down seconds ago, before I had time to download it. UPDATE:…
The rumour on today’s books is that Steve Wacker is to manage a new scheduling revamp of Amazing Spider-Man, currently a three-times-monthly title with a rotating creative team In a week where two issues of the series shipped as well as an Amazing Spider-Man spinoff series , there do seem to be some scheduling issues….
Word reaches me that Michael Siglain, editor of Detective Comics and other related books, has left DC Comics for a new position at Disney Publishing. This job has nothing to do with Disney-owned Marvel Comics, though it’s unlikely some at DC will see it that way. To replace him on Detective, the High Five favourite Pornsak Pichetshote,…
Here we go, here we go, here we go… fairly similar to the US, with a few differences – a voiceover, new footage and cool new jokes. Out here on the 25th August. Can we just all enjoy the execution of the Pee Bar?
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…
