We’ve just had Manhattan Projects from Image, the latest in a run of fantasy science comics (and yes, I have my own somewhere in the pipeline). In August we get the next one, from Top Cow’s Matt Hawkins and Rahsan Ekedal, Think Tank. And it’s hard not get the original Manhattan Project fear from this…
Bleeding Cool has been banging on a bit about DC Comics giving their New 52 all zero issues in September, returning to regular numbering in October, to commemorate the one year anniversary of the reboot. DC have not released all their August shipping details. To back up our thesis, we could do with a lot…
It may have been Free Comic Book Day a weekend ago. But that doesn’t mean everything was left to undulate in the breeze. Take this scene from the Marvel FCBD Ultron War #0.1. An exact reprint of Avengers #12.1 yes? Well, not exactly. Here’s the original. Looks like there was a little creative colouring going…
In September, DC Comics publishes zero issues of the New 52, to celebrate the year anniversary of the revamp. Some books however, it seems, may not make it that far. Justice League International #12 will be the last issue of the series. An interesting decision as it outsells the like of Suicide Squad, Superboy, Birds…

Since completing his debut feature Kontrol, Nimród Antal has had his heart set on directing a sci-fi drama he calls Paraffin. He’s kept his cards pretty close to his chest so there’s not much we know about the film’s story, or even basic premise, but Antal has just let a little bit creep out:
I can give you a teaser: men and women will build a boat out of plastic bottles in Cuba to escape oppression, right? So imagine if our world has become that oppression. You aren’t building plastic bottle boats anymore, you have to build something else to get out of here.
Some kind of spaceship? An interdimensional worm hole? Whatever it is, I’m curious to see if it actually runs on paraffin.
Antal was speaking to The Playlist, who also asked about a potential Predators sequel. And it turns out that’s just what it is: a potential Predators sequel. Antal says he has spoken to producer Robert Rodriguez about a follow up, but they’ve not yet discussed it with anybody else.
Well, it’s only a week until the studio starts calling them for that discussion, I’d suspect. All indications are that Predators will do just fine, particularly in view of it’s moderate budget.
In my Avengefuls comic for Boom!, I had President Obama shooting Osama Bin Hulk in the head with the line “guns don’t kill terrorists, Presidents kill terrorists.” It felt right. We know President Obama used to read comics. Even when he was all grown up. Appearing on The View, he was asked about Kardashians, Fifty…
Heritage Auctions is selling the original art to the cover of Spider-Man #1 by Todd McFarlane, on behalf of its owner Martin Shamus, father of Wizard Magazine‘s Gareb and Steven Shamus. The cover of Wizard #1 was famously based on this cover. It’s iconic and probably bsums up nineties comics better than any other….
Can’t quite work out the motivation here. But a customer of the Regal Cinema in Abingdon, Baltimore, was rather annoyed to discover that the showing of The Avengers that he’d paid to see had captions. He remonstrated with cinema staff who offered him a refund or replacement tickets. He refused both and returned to his…
Larry Young writes for Bleeding Cool; THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE AVENGERS MOVIE. I’m not a person who puts much truck into “spoilers,” because I’m an old-school entertainment consumer. Back in 1980, I bought the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back and found out Yoda was a little blue yard gnome. The experience…

This morning, Bleeding Cool reported the news that Neal Adams was to draw and co-write a First X-Men book with Christos Gage, following sources and stories over two years old. We presumed it was his much-promised and signed-off Wolverine series. Well, it looks like we were half right. (UPDATE: Oh look, Wolverine is in it.)…
