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,…
To me, Edi Gathegi is House‘s Big Love; to most of the rest of the web, it seems, he is Laurent from Twilight; to Matthew Vaughn and the X-Men: First Class team, he’s Darwin. Deadline got the scoop. Talk about a loaded name for a mutant. And it’s extra symbolic too as he’s a “reactive…
All that fuss when Peter Parker and Mary Jane did that deal with Mephisto as part of One More Day to save the life of May Parker. But had it all happened before? Where was the fuss when Wally West did the same with Neron, without even the acquiesence of Linda? Compare and contrast… In…
Aaron and Mike from A Comic Shop in Florida are back from Con. Well, Aaron is. Mike was left behind. Ahhhh. I met up with Aaron at the show and it looks as if we will be collaborating on another regular feature for Bleeding Cool. I know, intriguing isn’t it? No one leak! No one…
Red Sonja is a mighty warrior woman. Queen Sonja sounds like the kind of person who Prince William will marry to with a taste for leopardskin patterns, big hoopy earings, sparkly lip gloss and Red Bull and Vodka. Just saying. Here are a few Dynamitessy sneak peeks.
Just as with this year, the first 15,000 San Diego Comic Con 2011 four day tickets sold will include entry to the Preview Night the Wednesday before the show kicks off properly. Or, rather, they did. I understand that two hours before this year’s San Diego Comic Con came to an end, they had already…
No, they’re not renaming it to 3000AD. But from Prog 1700, 2000AD gets a new look. Here’s the new badge and logo… And a new set of Tharg poses from Henry Flint for editorials and the like. And the front page of 2000AD 1700. Ans as the Con-Dem coalition government in the UK looks to…
Okay this is a beautiful, weird, melancholy, life-affirming, perpsective-twisting trailer for a new graphic novel, Louis – Night Salad from the Brighton comics collective metaphrog. Probably next not to watch if you’ve just been through a recent emotional trauma though. It’s juat all a bit… mmmm. The comic is out in November.
There’s a new Days Missing series from Archaia and Roddenberry Productions, Kestus. Five issues, and here are the first two covers from Jorge Molina and Alex Ross. The rest of the covers will be from Ryan Benjamin, David Mack and Dale Keown. The series will be written by Phil Hester and drawn by David Marquez.
Very odd and a tiny bit creepy. The O with the mouth is the “wrongest” bit. Thanks for sharing, Yahoo. But perfect casting. Hilarious. This film is going to be, for want of another word, surreal.
Bleeding Cool recently featured the first exclusive Walking Dead variant for issue 75 from Ultimate Comics in North Carolina. Customers, including Bleeding Cool readers, who ordered the issue in question recently received this e-mail, cc’ed to them all. So, I have good news and bad news. We received the Walking Dead Variants today as scheduled….
There’s obviously something in the water, or I’ve got a weird case of semi-deja-vu. So-called “Superhero noir” The Unknowns was officially unveiled at Comic-Con this last weekend. Like a movie, it has a real-life star playing a role which is fairly novel. From the press release: …features the likeness of actress/model Monica Olsen, who portrays…
Here’s what we know now about David Fincher’s remake of The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo and its proposed sequels. A few news stories over the last week or so have confirmed, or at least reconfirmed old rumours. The odd scrap of previously unknown info surfaced, but much of this is consolidation. I’ll be quick….
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…
