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,…
There are a lot of comic shops in Manhattan. Some big, some small, some chain, some one-man, some basement, some multi-purpose, they maintain a precious balance, covering the area, some rise, some fall, some get bought, some collapse. But of late there has been relative stability. Jim Hanley, Midtown, Forbidden Planet, St Mark’s, Cosmic Comics,…
In time for Hallowe’en, Dynamite Entertainment are bringing back some of the more celebrity-associated outings for Vampirella, the character they bought as part of their purchase of Harris Publishing. The Vampirella Archive Premiere Hard Cover Editions will run the earliest Vampirella stories from the beginning, including the likes of Frank Frazetta, Barry Windsor Smith, Waly…
At the top, we have an image of Kobe Bryant by KidKalig. Below, a T-shirt design by True Theory that seems to have been selling rather well so far. Equally, Jon Haward’s artwork for the Stoned Buddha as seen in the Wasted magazine. And seen for sale on Red Bubble. The seller even has the…
This is what happens when you get a BAFTA for Best Drama. Not only do you get the second series you were promised, but the channel throws in a Christmas Special hour long episode as well. So, yes, E4 will now be broadcasting a Misfits Christmas Special on E4, written by show creator Howard Overman….
Thanks again to designer Peter McKinstry again. This is a new Doctor Who design for a Yeti, a race of robot that appeared twice in the sixties. And now appear to be coming back in the Doctor Who Christmas Special later this year. Though we have six months to wait. This is their classic look…
Nick Percival’s comic for Radical Entertainment out-this-month Legends: The Enchanted looks like it may make to the screen for this multi-media publisher, with Ron Howard producing. This steampunk Grimm fairytale murder mystery looking into the death of Pinnochio, led by Red Hood and Jack, with Goldilocks, Hansel and Gretel. So not at all like Fables…
BatMessiahWatch: Image fron Night Beetle on the Superherohype boards, there. DreckWatch: The New York Press has an odd start describing a Neil Gaiman reading. Gaiman is of course, the dark wunderkind responsible for the Sandman, possibly the greatest comic book series ever, as well as Coraline, The Graveyard Book and American Gods. He’s also the…
Jonah Hex which opens June 18th in the US—sorry, after a trip to IMDB and a couple Google searches I couldn’t find a UK release date—stars Josh (“No Country For Old Men For Old Men”) Brolin as the titular Jonah Hex, Megan (“Transformers”) Fox as Lilah the helpful hooker, and the awesome John (“Dangerous Liaisons”)…
You’ve heard the giys at A Comic Shop go on about it. At length. Well, here’s a preview of Crossed: Family Values #2 by David Lapham, Javier Barreno and Fevre Dream #2 by George RR Martin and Rafa Lopez out today in the US, tomorrow in the UK, from Avatar. You know, the people who…
In the US iTunes store, there’s a free preview/music video wotsit of the upcoming BET Black Panther animated series. Firmly ensconsced in the Marvel Universe, ther appear to be guest stars from Captain America to the Black knight, Storm, Cyclops and Juggernaut (versus a rhino, no less). We see a Cap/Panther fight, and plenty of…
Earlier, Mark Evanier confirmed the sad news of the death of Al Williamson fantasy and comic book artist. Mark writes; Well, sadly, it’s true. Al Williamson was 79 years old and while we haven’t heard a cause of death, we’d all heard how he’d been suffering from Alzheimer’s for the last few years. Al was…
Clicky to make it bigger on the outside. But yes, that is the eleven incarnations of The Doctor in owly form from pu-sama on DeviantArt. Apparently it’s becoming quite a thing. Here’s one of the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane by thecosmicdancer. By the way, regarding Doctor Who spoilers, that it, I’m not running any…
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…
