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,…
Through the bile and ignorance of the radical imans and self-righteous apostates, through the spin of the news networks and the pomposity of academics, I saw a straight, unwavering line. How could I be disappointed? I did not believe in Islam; I opened my eyes every morning and saw it.-G. Willow Wilson, The Butterfly Mosque…
Writer-Artist John Chihak (Youth In Asia) and author Venus of Necro are the minds behind the new special from Anti-Hero Brand Press, Fuzzyface: The Agnew Chainsaw Massacre. Richard Caldwell was able to talk with the two earlier, about why self-respecting adults would feel so drawn to torturing poor defenseless stuffed animals, for Bleeding cool. Naturally….
Some of you may have noticed a few more filmic stories of late at Bleeding Cool. Partially that’s because of the rush of summer superhero blockbusters, partially there’s a new seam of sources that have suddenly also opened up to Bleeding Cool, but also because we’ll be appointing a new film editor here at the…
Apparently some people are on tenterhooks over just what will be appearing on the big massive huge Alien Quadrilogy Boxset Bluray collection thingy. Well here’s a BBFC list of a lot of upcoming stuff from it – although possibly not the Ben 10: Alien Swarm. That’s something else entirely, sadly.
Over the past month or so, 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 conventions. Last week, we talked about getting your comic…
The first Gareb Shamus-purchased comics convention for 2011 has been announced – ComiCONN, the Connecticut comics convention. It will be renamed Wizard World Connecticut and will take place sometime next year. This makes a dozen shows now owned by Gareb Shamus under the Wizard World banner. As always the people who ran the previous show…
It’s amazing to think that, when we started TRIPWIRE back in 1992, the internet wasn’t really an issue: Image had just been formed by artists disgruntled with Marvel and the average price for a comic was around $1.50. We have witnessed so much change since we began life as a fanzine, produced with a now…
Shea Hennum writes for Bleeding Cool; This review may contain slight spoilers. It will also feature the word, or some variation on the word “sadism”. A lot. If you’re looking for a review of a movie that’s an actual remake of the 1984 movie The Karate Kid, don’t read this review. Instead: go off an…
Sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the second in the Millennium trilogy, Noomi Rapace returns as Lisbeth Salander, a brilliant hacker with an eidetic memory in The Girl Who Played With Fire. Michael Nyqvist revisits his role as journalist Mikael Blomkvist. Adi Tantimedh discussed the book’s cultural significance here. And now here’s the…
Twenty-three minutes into the recent Word Balloon podcast, Brian Bendis talks about a high-level Sony meeting from a couple of months ago about having Bendis script consult on the Spider-Man 4 movie. He doesn’t think that’s going to happen now, possibly because they offered him the chance to write a Spider-man-related movie “in the same…
PriceWatch: Joe Quesada is still saying that the Iron Man Annual will be cheaper in print than in digital. And Bleeding Cool is still saying, not in the UK it won’t… RaceWatch: “We don’t see it that way and strive very hard to have a diverse DCU. I mean, we have green, pink, and blue…
From The Nightly News With Brian Williams. The last original Muppet survivor, Frank Oz, revisits the NBC Studios and the pipe designs that he, Jim Henson, Don Sahlin and Jerry Juhl created between dress rehearsal of The Jack Paar Show and the recorded version. This was well before their creations would become The Muppet Show……
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…
