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,…
Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz are to bring back Thunderstrike for Marvel Comics. The nineties Thor-alike created by Tom and Ron who had his own successful series for a few years. Thunderstrike was a builder who became Thor for a few years and enough of the Thordust rubbed off on the fellow when they separated….
I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one. One Day is the next film from Lone Scherfig, director of An Education, and stars Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. Here’s an on-location picture of the stars in Edinburgh. It’s clearly a flashback scene with flashback hair and flashback fashion. That photo comes from flickriver. Meanwhile, here’s…
Waiting for Mel Gibson to stop disgracing himself is probably too much like counting down the days until he’s dead for it to be an idea I’m entirely comfortable with. At the moment, however, the popular opinion meter’s needle is clearly in the red zone with this guy and it makes a lot of sense…
We could argue for hours about the last shot of this film. Who wants to get us started?
Pick a side, any side. This is the comic in question, two issues worth, courtesy of Ethan Persoff with commentary here. Full of covers of classic superhero comic books reinterpreted thusly Yeah I think you can see where they are going with this. It started to gain a little traction from commentator Rachel Maddow earlier…
If actions speak louder than words it doesn’t really matter how accurate the quote at the centre of this story is; nonetheless, I believe it’s most likely to be 100% accurate. There’s been a last minute substitution in the program of this year’s FrightFest. Out goes Gregg Arakis’ Kaboom, and in comes Brett Anstey’s Damned…
Well, Doctor Who may be over but we still have us three episodes of Moffaty goodness to get us closer to the Doctor Who Winter Special. Now I’ve been away and have only finally caught up and the second episode is tomorrow and who knows when the Americans will get it if they’re not being…
I wouldn’t go Google Image searching for Tanya Tate while at work. Not very safe for it, you see, unless you work in either an advertising agency or in a brothel. Anyway the English madam abroad made it to San Diego where, dressed as Emma Frost, she began to press the flesh with the good…

Jim Muir, better known as The Reverend O’Badiah Steppenwolf on the Scottish comedy circuit, is another comedian joining Jonathan Ross, Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr writing for Mark Millar’s CLiNT Magazine. On a Millarworld post, Mark referenced “Frankie and The Reverend are both buds of mine, both writing for my Clint mag”. Boyle and Muir…
According to the title on YouTube this is a “featurette” originally shown at Comic-Con to promote The Other Guys. It’s made up of footage from the film – almost four and a half minutes worth – and it’s quite evenly spread with gags, stunts and bleeped-out swear words. Yeah, okay. I’ll turn up for this…
A dystopian future (but then again aren’t they all) in a society with reduced civil liberties, Curfew is a new free online game from Channel 4 written by Thor/X-Men/Phonogram‘s Kieron Gillen. A dialogue-choosing adventure, it’s all about creating, maintaining and judging levels of trust. With a couple of breaks for some minor shoot-em-ups. The first…
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…
