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,…
UPDATE: Yup another one folks. Toby was joking. And whoever may or may not be writing for Doctor Who serie six, contracts have not been signed… so no one is contractually obligated one way or the other on anything. That was the answer to the question at the British Writers panel at San Diego Comic…
Maybe the Thrill Power was just too much for USA law enforcement officers to take in. But without explanation, the Drug Enforcement Administration has seized and held all of the UK stock that 2000AD/Rebellion had flown over for Comic Con. They were hoping to have Judge Dredd Megazine 30o for the show – and are…
I say “with”. More like “on the same seat line”. Simon was reading The Boys before the panel began. Anyway, Robert Kirkman is talking Skybound, his new talent/media exploitation line – but that they don’t take submissions. So there’s Witch Doctor by Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner, described as Doctor Strange meets House for 2011….

One thing I’ve seen again and again in reportage on the second Mean Girls movie is a real disappointment that the original’s screenwriter, Tina Fey isn’t involved. I can understand that – she’s rather more tried, tested and ultimately trusted than Elana Lesser and Cliff Ruby (unless, you know, you’re really into Balto). Speaking to Movieline…
Didn’t see this one coming down the straight, no matter how big its chin. Announced on the Burn Notice panel at Comic-Con today, a prequel movie to the series that will focus on Sam Axe, Bruce Campbell’s character, on his final mission as a Navy SEAL. The film will be set largely in Latin America,…
Benedict Cumberbatch is caught being refreshingly candid in a new interview to promote Sherlock, the BBC series that will star him as the consulting detective of Baker Street and which I really rather liked, at least so far as the first episode took us. Here he is answering the question “Would you like to be…
So Westboro Baptist Church picketed Comic-Con for “worshipping false idols.” And Comic-Con picketed back. Playing the role of an “embedded journalist” I got stuck in… shouting with the microphone “I find your lack of faith… disturbing.” Anyway, here’s how the whole event went down. The Westboro crew were outnumbered, outgunned and police-protected. And a mixture…
An announcement at this morning’s The One Ring Middle Earth fan-panel at Comic-Con saw the crowd get very excited: apparently, Peter Jackson has stated definitively that the Hobbit films will not be made in 3D. Reasons that this means next to nothing range from “It wasn’t Peter saying this, just somebody saying Peter said this”…
The writer’s strike in Hollywood a couple of years back was primarily driven by the studios and networks denial of royalty payments to writers when their work was refranchised through new media – so, for example, NBC could stream My Name Is Earl on their website and not shell out a penny to its creators*….
Not at Comic-Con? Just watching this new Tron Legacy trailer might convince you that you are. It was premiered in Hall H earlier today. Okay, actually it won’t. But it was still worth watching, wasn’t it? The Con attendees got a full eight minute sequence. We don’t. 3…2…1…sulk!
This clip is called Grammar and features Brandon Routh as Todd Ingram trying to be funny/threatening and… it’s not really working out for him. I definitely prefer the first bit with Ramona and Scott. The clip comes from IGN.
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…
