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,…
Eric M Esquivel writes for Bleeding Cool; So, apparently nobody told Brandon Graham that I’m not a real journalist, ‘cause he conceded to an interview without much of a struggle. Brandon is a personal hero of mine, and for the legion of you who adore him as much as I do: you’re welcome. And for…
Neil Gaiman was a guest on the BBC Radio 4 show The Museum Of Curiosity, alongside David Eagleman and Sarah Millican, hosted by John Lloyd and Jon Richardson. Neil Gaiman suggested taking days from people who wouldn’t miss them, what it’s like to kill Batman, the history of taming the wild bee, and donated into…
The full line up of new-look Looney Tunes has been unveiled from designer Jessica Borutski who redesigned them for the upcoming animated TV series for the Cartoon Network, The Looney Tunes Show. She writes; Here they are!! Man I had fun drawing these guys, I love this job SOOO MUCH!!Marisol and Petunia are my personal…
After critical coverage in all sorts of media, Apple have reversed a decision to censor the comic book adaptation of The Importance Of Being Earnest, which wasn’t exactly sexually explicit but did feature a gay kiss or too. It was even censored when the covered those scenes with black bars. And now, after a stack…
Lying In The Gutters Another week, with major Bleeding Cool changes to come… what’s been going down where, why and when. 1. On Set Footage From Thor Sir Anthony Hopkins in a eyepatch. And a very very big Thor indeed… 2. VIDEO: Batman XXX A Porn Parody – The Official Trailer For the sixth week…
One full year of columns from Bleeding Cool’s resident screenplay reader Adi Tantimedh. And this week.. spies! Or the lack of them… While listening to BBC Radio 4’s adaptation of John le Carré’s final George Smiley novel THE SECRET PILGRIM, I was reminded of a question nagging at me for ages, namely the huge gulf…
After their success with both the Comics App and the Marvel Comics App, Comixology have now created a Boom! Comics App. So you can read Boom! titles away from the hoi polloi of other not-quite-so-Boomy publishers. It launches with fifty titles and will soon include the entire Boom back catalogue. One interesting twist is that…
Most pirates know how to get away with it these days. Get copies of the work as soon as possible, possibly before it goes on sale officially. Scan the thing in using an automated process. Make it available through a direct download service, that link to be replicated, posted elsewhere and then collated in a…
Well, that’s one way to do it, I suppose. Wyck Godfrey, producer of the Twilight films including the now-two-parts Breaking Dawn has proposed that the second part of the movie be filmed in 3D, to reflect Bella’s new vampire state. Which is also, presumably, where they’ll split the films. I’ve never read Twilight, I haven’t…
Last night, I ran a piece on the Fake Michael Turner Scam, in which someone sells clearly faked Michael Turner sketches on eBay, sometimes using a real sketch in the listing, sometimes not. In the comments section of the piece, a user called Turner Fan posts; Hello. I would just like to say that I…
The picture on the left is a genuine sketch by the late Michael Turner. The picture on the right is not. The picture on the left is what is represented on eBay. The picture on the right is what the successful bidder gets for his $200. The same again here. And if anyone were in…
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…
