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,…
Poor ol’ short films. They don’t get anything like enough love. They’re seen, mainly, as stepping stones to feature making careers, or novel things to pass about virally and only ever watch on a computer screen. I’d love to see more of them playing in cinemas – indeed, I don’t know why every feature isn’t…
That’s right folks, to celebrate the San Diegoness still in the air, my favourite T-shirt company Threadless (I sit wearing one with a piece of cheese berating a cheese grater “You Monster!”) have commissio ned a bunch of T-shirts from comic creators, the first four being from Jill Thompson, Cliff Chiang, Art Baltazar and Tony…
What if Nemesis was Superman? Dr Bobby Millar, Mark Millar’s brother, is to attempt a sky dive dressed as his brother’s character Nemesis. Raising money for a coash to take disabled children on day trips, auctioning of character names in Nemesis has already raised thousands and Mark Millar is set to do the same with…
Mark Millar is casting on Millarworld for two small speaking roles in his upcoming low-budget Scottish superhero movie, that he’s written and is directing. You must be available for three days in Mid August, he needs one male and one female and you must be Scottish (or presumably be able to put an indistinguishably authentic…
If you’ve seen the Sucker Punch marketing materials, you likely noticed the huge green mecha with a pink bunny face painted on it. Chances are some of you will have found that rabbit’s fizzog somewhat familiar: he’s the spit of Alex Pardee’s Bunnywith. And that, of course, is because Pardee has been working as a…
Fox Searchlight have issued two new stills, one old still in better quality and a behind-the-scenes snap to promote Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go. These don’t even whisper a hint of the power this story contains. Nonetheless, it is always interesting to see the cast in costume, on location and in character. I picked…
For the most part, this post is going to be verbatim quotes from Mark Millar so I hope the voice in your head can do a good impression of him. Mine struggles with Millar a bit, I have to be honest. I am writing the comic book right now. Matthew Vaughn is directing X-Men: First…
We knew for a while that the original Holy Terror Batman project from Frank Miller, originally described as Batman Vs Al Qaeda, wasn’t actually going to star Batman anymore. But who would the stand-in replacement be? Frank Miller has told the LA Times that the lead will be called The Fixer and is now a…
UPDATE: Bleeding Cool has received a cease-and-desist letter from Kasimira C. Verdi, Director – Intellectual Property, Fox Group Legal, 2121 Ave. of the Stars, Rm. 782, Century City, CA 90067, 310-369-3110.She says; We are writing to you on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and its related entities (collectively “Fox”) which own intellectual property…
Russell Brand’s next film project will have him buckling his proverbial swash as real-life, 14th Century English mercenary John Hawkwood who gave both his allies and his enemies across Europe a run for their money. At least that’s what Wikipedia had to say on the matter. I’d never heard of the geezer until now. Judging…
Here’s a teaser, a longer trailer and a novelty packaging-focused commercial for the Alien Anthology Blu-ray sets. Sold, sold and sold. That last one comes from Dread Central. I wrote a previous story, breaking down what will be on each of the six discs. I wrote it in my own saliva.
Eric “EBAS” Basaldua, Top Cow penciler and Zenescope cover artist, had not one but two of his portfolios stolen from the Zenescope booth at San Diego Comic Con last Friday. They were two large black Itoya portfolios, each holding 48 pieces of artwork. One had a variety of original interior artwork, the had fifty prints…
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…
