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,…
So, it didn’t take long for the cosplayers to pick up the gauntlet from yesterday. Thanks to @jdracoules and @funnyordie for the photos there. Whether it was Tony Lee’s “I lost my pen in hall H. Can someone find it for me?” tweet, or a number of people brandishing biros screaming “We Are Armed And…
Agent Mom is a new graphic novel by Smallville and Stargate Universe’s Alaina Huffman and comics writer Tony Lee, drawn by Stewart McKenny with the tagline “Alias meets Chuck – what if Ethan Hunt was a MILF?”. And what are the odds the character will look just like her too, with a view to TV/movie…
The Room is this generation’s Plan 9 From Outer Space, the film branded so “so-bad-it’s-good” that it’s great. Unsurprisingly, director/writer/star/perpetrator Tommy Wiseau wants to milk his current cult status for all it’s worth. That’s why he’s now promising a Blu-ray release for the movie later this year… and a 3D conversion next year. James Nguyen…
Here’s a quick video interview with Tom Hiddleston, the man who will be Loki – but before you hit play, be warned that he spoils a second act Thor plot twist before the mini-interview is over. You can jump in for just the first question quite safely, though, as right off the bat he is…
Watch the trailer for The Virginity Hit closely enough (ie. eyes open, pointed at the screen) and you’ll see that the characters are using a YouTube channel belonging to one Superzack1000. So what does this Superzack have amongst his videos? There are 33 seperate videos, all posted in the second half of 2009 – presumably when…
Amazing Spider-Man: Brand New Day ends in October with a double-sized #647. At which point Amazing will just be written by Dan Slott, twice a month, starting with #648. RESPECTFULLY etc… can I get a tick folks? So what’s next? Stefano Caselli and Dan Slott working on a new Matt Gargan Scorpion arc. Then there’s…
In all (ten or eleven) episodes of Smallville that I’ve seen from top to bottom, the best thing was Michael Rosenbaum. Then, after seven seasons, the show lost its Lex Luthor and he was off, hopefully to do bigger or better things… …bigger or better things I’m still waiting to see materialise. While I’m waiting,…
I’m thinking this film is going to be huge. Really huge. And star making. The trailer for The Virginity Hit was unveiled at the Comic-Con panel for The Other Guys yesterday. Why? Because it has that film’s Adam McKay and Will Ferrell as producers. Make your own mind up as to whether or not this…
It’s not news that Marvel have regained the movie rights to The Punisher – they’ve already released one film with the character, in the form of Lexi Alexander’s Punisher: War Zone. They’ve clearly had the rights back a while. And it’s barely notewworthy that Kevin Feige said yesterday, at the Marvel movies panel, that “Frank…
Above is our first look at an official design image from Legendary Studios’ upcoming Godzilla reboot. This was discovered by the bona fide daikaiju nuts at Monster Island News, who discovered it through a report on the website of Augmented Reality specialists Talking Dog. I’ll quote the talking dog directly: This week, Legendary Pictures is…
From Mr. Kevin Smith’s Comic-Con panel came out first shred of Red State casting news. So who is to be the unknown given the key role of a Fred Phelps-type figure? It’s Michael Parks, unknown from his roles in Kill Bill, From Dusk Til Dawn and Twin Peaks. In 1969 he was particularly unknown as…
That, above, is the new logo for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers movie. It comes from the film’s freshly opened official site. Having seen the line-up unveiled officially, you may be asking “Where’s Ant Man?”, “Where’s Wasp?”. We’ve got an answer to the first of those questions, right from the horse’s mouth: Ant Man is not…
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…
