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,…
John Spaihts writing for the Alien prequel is pretty strong and very odd stuff. It’s full of sci-fi detail that goes so far beyond the normal that everything t ends up feeling quite fantastical, even slightly psychedelic and there’s some pages that I thought were so far removed from commercial filmmaking they could never, ever…
How much do comic publishers spend at San Diego Comic Con? How much should they spend? Because the problem is that they really can’t compete for headlines with the movie and game people anymore. Who are quite happy to spend silly amounts to gain attention. The most visible aspect of that this year were the…
I first read the Paul screenplay last year and absolutely loved it. Seriously, it kept me laughing throughout and I felt a strong desire to just see it see it see it. So naturally, any opportunity at the San Diego Comic Con clashed with me selling Freak Angels to the Germans, that kind of thing….
So can anyone tell who drew these comics on the Marvel App? You know, without squinting?
The kitchen of a store at the corner of 40th St and Broadway in New York, underneath Midtown Comics, caught fire earlier today. Midtown Comics was evacuated and, while there’s no news on smoke damage, there are also no reports of anyone being hurt. As I write, there are eight fire trucks at the scene….
A talk to some of the Image Creators at the pavilion on Sunday at the end of the San Diego Comic Con. And we start with… Bryan J.L. Glass talking about the Mice Templar… Kody Chamberlain debuting his new Image comic, Sweets. Jason Howard with a tatse of Sea Bear Vs Grizzly Shark Jon Layman…
Jon Schiller Design creates a number of toys, prints, designs and images. But some of them feel a little familiar. Especially when compared to a series of images of Capcom. One would be a coincidence. Twenty… well, isn’t. Joe on the left, Capcom on the right, clicky for bigger. (UPDATE) John Schiller writes; Hello Mr….
From the creators of Watchmen and 300. And I don’t mean Zack Snyder. The future sci-fi epic written by 300 and Sin City‘s Frank Miller. Visualised by Watchmen‘s Dave Gibbons. Creator-owned. About one individual against the entire system, suriving, propsering and then saving the known universe. Surely this would be one of the easiest, clearly…
Midtown Comics on Time Square in New York is hosting a signing session this Saturday from 3pm to 5pm with Ron Marz, writer of Artifacts for Top Cow. And Midtown have an exclusive variant cover by Dale Keown all ready for him to sign. Look here it is! Sounds a lot of fun. So if…
I met Pinguino Kolb at my very first San Diego Comic Con in 1996 when she was a self publsihed comic creator. Nowadays she’s more of a photographer as well as an illustrator, working for the biggest names in the industry. But she still has time for Bleeding Cool. And she spent the Con taking…
Continued from Part One Over the course of about five years, Duffy and Jennings assembled and researched the book’s content as they produced their gallery exhibitions, something made possible by both the changing perception of comics as art/literature, and by the expanding scholarship of black arts. John Jennings: As far as I can see,there has…
This pretty much speaks for itself, so just click play and enjoy some new and old footage, concept art and discussion of the design influences to Disney’s upcoming Tangled. I’d have a drink at The Snuggly Duck.
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…
