Lying In The Gutters – July 5th 2010

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…

1. Wonder Woman – Bring On The Haters

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.

2. Putting Wonder Woman In Leggings

The original story. Still find it hard to see exactly what all the fuss is about.

3. Olivia Munn Offers Her Own Take On Wonder Woman Costume

Another Wonder Woman linked story as Olivia Munn's book is published with her in her costume on the front.

4. Fox News Criticises Wonder Woman For Lack Of Patriotism.

What more Wonder Woman? Yes, Fox News commentators have a field day witb this ione as Fox News attacks the patriotism of DC Comics.

5. Numbercrunching: Wonder Woman #600 – One More Diana

What still more? A review of that issue, numbercrunchingh style.

6. Millar & Yu's Superior: What Is It All About?

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.

7. Marvel Crack Down On October Solicitation Details

Marvel are making

8. Swipe File: Spidey Vs Bats

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.

9. Batman XXX A Porn Parody – The Official Trailer

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

10. DC's Zuda Line Slashed (UPDATE)

The first reporting of the Zuda cancellation as Twitter began to reveal the horrible truth.

Bubbling Under

So what didn't quite make the top ten?

Amending Carlos Pacheco's artwork, interviewing Neil Gaiman about Scientology, the toilet made out of X-Men 1, speculating on comics, Easter Eggs Hidden in the Paranormal Activity 2 Trailer, David Fincher's Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, Mark Millar pitching Old Man Logan Sequel, Death Of Dracula Selling Out In Hours, First look at Mark Millar And Leinil Yu's Superior , the disappearing Geof Darrow Conan 25, Realm Of Kings Hardcover going cheap on Amazon, James Hudnall's take on Wondie, Ten Thoughts Why Johnny Depp Can't Be Doctor Who, Typos, Hate Mail And West African Drumming and Hobbit Films At Risk Of Losing Ian McKellen.

Ten Items You Should Have Read

2. Harry Gilliam's Small Exhibition

3. Will Eisner's Perjury

4. Alan Moore's Singing And Dancing And Signing And Speaking And Selling

5. Tim Minchin Wanting To Sleep With Ms Wossy

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.
