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…

Look it’s meant to be Bill O’Reilly okay? I only see him on The Daily Show, shut up. Anyway. What are the big stories this week on Bleeding Cool? Well the top five are all the same. A certain wondrous lady’s new duds…
Of course this would be the biggest story of the week. Not so much Wonder Woman’s new costume but the reactions of others. And it was the dedicacted DC fans who seemed the most upset, casual readers were much happier, or at least more willing to reserve judgement.
The original story. Still find it hard to see exactly what all the fuss is about.
Another Wonder Woman linked story as Olivia Munn’s book is published with her in her costume on the front.
What more Wonder Woman? Yes, Fox News commentators have a field day witb this ione as Fox News attacks the patriotism of DC Comics.
What still more? A review of that issue, numbercrunchingh style.
One whole day after Wizard magazine had been published in the US, no website had picked up on the news worthiness of the front cover and inside pages. Thankfully I was on hand with my camera.
Marvel are making
A bit of a tenous swipe file here. But not so tenuous that you didn’t like it. Two very similar looking products on the shelves at once. If you squint.
What is this doing here? Seriously, I thought we’d said goodbye to this post from the beginning of May. But no, it seems you can’t get enough of this trailer
The first reporting of the Zuda cancellation as Twitter began to reveal the horrible truth.
So what didn’t quite make the top ten?

Thanks go out to Brendon Connelly who has jumped ship to expand Bleeding Cool into films – though expect an imminent rejig of the site to support that, Adi Tantimedh, Si Spurrier, Aaron and Mike, and Greg Baldino. Stars, one and all.
For those who need some immediate separation, this may help – Film Stuff - Not Film Stuff. Till we get a proper fix.
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.)…
