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,…
HBO have just launched the British version of their website. HBO UK at www.hbouk.com. A place to try and sell you DVDs of their hit shows, you know, Sex In The Blood, True City, The Flight Of The Sopranos, Curb Your Entourage, all that, and maybe in the future direct-stream them away from the prying…
Neonomicon is the new serialised graphic novel coming out from Avatar, written by Alan Moore, drawn by Jacen Burrows. We’ve already seen a #0, the Hornbook. But issue #1 will make its debut at San Diego Comic Con. But it won’t just be copies of the first issue in its many varied formats that will…

So how did the comic book-and-related creating community enjoy yesterday’s England Germany match in the World Cup? Thankfully Twitter gives us an insight… Tony Lee: Traditionally the Keystone Cops wear blue when they perform, not red.. Simon Pegg: Come on the lions! If you’re in a zoo, that was a message of support for the…
That’s how you end the Glastonbury music festival. Push Matt Smith on stage to rouse the crowd. Then get him to play the Doctor Who theme on the synthesiser with dance music troupe Orbital while the stage explodes in light and sound. And make that the final song of the final night. That was spectacular….
If ever there was an example of jumping the gun, this is it. The papers may be full of Jonathan Ross’ TV career after he leaves the BBC shortly. But Ross has other ideas. He tweeted; As for me, I have decided that after my shows finish in three weeks…gap year!!! When I say gap…

Inspired by a Millarworld thread, how would famous DC comic book scenes have read if they’d been written by Marvel-exclusive writer and creator of Kick-Ass, Mark Millar? He’s known for taking comic book characters and making them suitable for thirteen year old boys. But he’s been at Marvel a long time. Surely the pull of…
Okay. This comic featured the first appearance of Batman Beyond animated series continuity in a DC Universe title, written by Paul Levitz. We had something in Batman #700 as well. And a new Batman Beyond series. But this came first. And no one knew. Or if they did, they forgot. I mean it was all…
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.

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.

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…
