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.

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,…

Bleeding Cool has already written about the upcoming series of graphic novels based around the Conan Doyle’s Baker Street Irregulars characters from Sherlock Holmes. by Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood.

One for the Brits this. Wii-owning Brits. Probably with kids. Anyway, just as the World Cup launches, Super Mario Galaxy 2 also kicks off here tomorrow. Amazon is selling it for £32. Sainsbury’s for £29.99. Some may get even lower. But here’s the bunny for those who are economy-minded, as I am. Okay, first of…

If you’ve got cool hair. have a Mid West feel, are Latin- or Asian-American and are both cold and dead inside, this could be your moment.

Before Superman was a comic book, it was a comic strip. That no one wanted. A small publication was created to sell Superman to newspaper editors by the McClure syndication company, before those strips were cut up, abridged and reassembled into Action Comics #1. After the publication of Action Comics, which mashed up said strips…
From Studio Ghibli, the people who brought you Spirited Away. The trailer for their new adaptation of The Borrowers. It’s beautiful. And here, never seen in the West before, is the trailer. Watch it before it’s pulled.
This is a splash page preview of the upcoming 2000AD strip in July that takes classic Dredd social grouping The Fatties and merges it with the British protest group Fathers4Justice who dress in superhero costumes to demonstrate for fathers’ rights in cases of family separation. Can you spot Buddha?
Bleeding Cool recently had a look at Paul Cornell’s pilot for BBC3, Pulse, that recently aired. Well there’s another two on this week, both with geek credential. Stanley Park co-stars Antonia Thomas, who plays Alisha in the BAFTA-winning Misfits. Looking a little… classier in this role, part of an ensemble drama set in a small…
Fed up of seeing Mother Teresa on a cinnamon bun, Mary in a tree stump or Jesus in the foam on the side of a pint glass? Well, thanks to emonster, we now have Alan Moore in bird poo on a windscreen. Whether the avian faeces will draw a crowd of devout worshippers has yet…

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…
