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,…
This comes from a Little Bleeder in the field, risking life and limb – or at least eye – to bring us a first hand account of the Comic-Con Captain America “preview scene”: Brendon, Rich, love the site blah blah blah. I was surprised to see a scene from Captain America: The First Avenger played…
There was a quite a bit of footage from Jonathan Liebesman’s man vs. aliens war film, Battle: Los Angeles shown at Comic-Con. Now, for those of us who aren’t in San Diego, Columbia Pictures have released some of the footage online. As you can tell from that epic piece of footage, Liebesman has taken a Black…
Here’s another chance for Matt Reeves’ Let Me In to win over the sceptical, with a second, longer trailer that shows off a few more characters, scenes and locations and more of Greig Fraser’s wonderful cinematography. Let the Right One In was so beloved, it feels like every new piece of marketing for Let Me In…
Daniel Craig has a thing in his hand and some suspiciously clean-looking duds on. It doesn’t seem too long since he’s been in the barber’s chair for a shave, either. How nice that he’s so clearly made the effort for this dramatic moment. Favreau has a lot of good will in the bank. I hope…
I wondered what that shouting was. Looks like they upped their bid to get Mark Ruffalo for Saturday announcement after all… Yes, that’s the shot they really wanted. Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Jeremy Renner…
Max Brooks has just announced that he’s written a 200+ page graphic novel for Avatar based on a true story that took place in World War II. Son of Mel Brooks, and Saturday Night Live writer Max is best known for his successful zombie creations, World War Z and Zombie Survival Guide, early examples of…
Avatar has announced an ongoing series, Crossed: Badlands for next year. An ongoing series based in the same world as the first two mini-seieis, the first arc will be written by Crossed creators Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows. And Jamie Delano is announced as writing the second arc. Combined with news of a Crossed 3D…
I’ve received the following, apparently the up-to-date official synopsis for Alfonso Cuaron’s sci-fi movie Gravity: NASA astronauts Ryan Stone and Matt Kowalski are busy repairing the Hubble telescope and getting it launched from the Atlantis space station. They receive sudden word to abandon the mission and reboard their ship due to a a satellite avalanche…
Medics have been called to the San Diego Comic Convention, to Hall H, that specialises in showing footage and spotlighting cast and crew of upcoming movies. Details are sketchy, but it appears that one person wearing a Harry Potter shirt was stabbed in the eye socket with a pen because they refused to move seats….
This will mean very little to Americans. But Alan Yentob is walking the floor of San Diego Comci Con. He’s been Controller of BBC One, Director of Drama, Entertainment and Children’s Programming at the BBC and is now Creative Director of the entire BBC. In terms of media, he’s one of the more powerful people…
Before Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ series Sherlock was commissioned as three, 90-minute episodes, the BBC made one 60 minute pilot. The original plan was for this to go to air as the first installment but, for reasons I’m not convinced I know the truth about, it was shelved, the longer format instigated, the script…
The Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. There is one. From Marvel. And Brian Bendis is producing and writing for it. There. Like I said in the headline. That’s about it I’m afraid. Got to rush.
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…
