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,…
Patrick Stewart and William Shatner are to perform a rare double act at Wizard World Chicago this year in August. This will be the first time the pair of USS Enterprise Captains from the TV series Star Trek and Star Trek The Next Generation have appeared togetehr to sel photographs and signatures. Last year Shatner…
Many people will rewatch last week’s episode of Doctor Who, The Pandorica Opens, before this week’s finale The Big Bang. But I’ve been advised that I would be wise to re-watch the first episode of the new series, The Eleventh Hour again. All sorts of things may be given new light since we last watched…
The Suicide Girls are a famous collective of “alternative” looking women who engage with men for money online, often but not always in a sexually suggestive fashion. Goth, emo, punk, pierced, tattooed, heavy on the eye liner or simply not the Barbie doll look favoured my most sites, they’ve gained fame and admirers from the…
CartoonWatch: ToonZone tells us that, James Jones, producer of the upcoming Dorothy Of Oz movie, has a new animated film in the works. Entitled StarTeam, it’s described as Harry Potter meets Lost In Space. HomophobiaWatch: “Even the Archie comic books now have a gay person in them. Teachers across the country have lost discipline and…
Every now and then I get criticised for even commenting once on the Batman XXX A Porn Parody production. That I should be ashamed of myself, I’m just a hit whore and am not worthy to lick the boots of more respectable publications. Like the Village Voice. Who have just commissioned an entire strip parodying…
Cover-and-occasionally-internal-pages artist Mike Mayhew has a new Marvel gig. And he’s looking for models. He posts to Craigslist I have a gig from Marvel Comics, and I am in need of the following types: – caucasian female with long red-hair. Blondes might work for this one. – caucasian female with short red-hair. – African American…
Yesterday Bleeding Cool ran the story about the launch of the DC Comics App for the iPhone and iPad. But some readers found themselves unable to use this wondrous programme. It turns out there was some incompatibility with earlier iPhone and iPod Touch devices, the DC Comics App and the new version 4 operating systems…

Why do I suddenly think that this will be the most read post of the day? You’re all just so predictable. Husband and wife team Brian (Kotaku) Ashcraft and Shoko Ueda have written a new book, Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential, that’s been a hit in Japan and is now eeking its way out through the West. The…
This is a new trailer for the Nintendo DSi and PS3 game No No Kuni that uses animation and design from Spirited Away creators Studio Ghibli. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Looks like Top Cow weren’t the first. IDW have already created Hastings Exclusive cover editions. Just didn’t think to tell anyone. So we have red foil exclusive covers for James Patterson’s Witch & Wizard, Robert Bloch’s Yours Truly Jack The Ripper out on Hastings shelves now, and True Blood upcoming. For those of you who…
There’ always been an element of chance getting into the comic industry. Buying the right drink for the right editor at the right time. Showing your portfolio just when an editor has discovered their artist has gone exclusive for the opposition. Or drawing a comic about an editor’s wife’s favourite type of cat. But at…
My favourite YouTube video of the year. Why not make it yours as well?
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…
