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,…
Here’s a piece from Bleeding Cool’s chum, young Alasdair Stuart. He’s calling it: Tea Shops and Justice: Patrolling the leafy mean streets with the Crimefighters. York is a nice town, filled with students bars, tea shops, trees and very large, very old churches. York is a dull town, filled with students working dead end jobs,…
Pilgrim is a modern day magical fantasy horror series by Sebastian Baczkiewicz, broadcast by BBC Radio 4. And it gloriously and unashamedly rips off John Constantine, by way of Fables. Seriously, Vertigo should just give this guy a series and be done with it. Anyway, four episodes are running, once a week, on Tuesdays at…
I was fortunate enough to be able to talk with Ralph Ziman, director of Jerusalema, known in the UK as Gangster’s Paradise: Jerusalema. We discussed the film, and the real world people, events and political and social situations that inspired it. BC: Are you living in LA? RZ: Yes, I am in LA for the…
Mark Millar was a guest on today’s Richard Bacon show on BBC Radio Five Live. Here’s what he said about the supposedly imminent sequel to Kick-Ass: The estimate is [Kick-Ass] will do 100 to 150 million on DVD based on the American sales, you know, so it’ll end up making a quarter of a billion…
Aaron and Mike from A Comic Shop in Florida talk about tomorrow’s comics. See, they already get their comics on a Tuesday. Soon every comic shop will do the same. This week they address the Daredevil changes and take down the number haterz, spread the love for Atomic Robo and looks to Green Arrow meeting…
Last week, Bleeding Cool broke the story that Diamond Comic Distributors would move to ship comic books to all comic stores across the USA to Tuesday, for Wednesday sale, rather than the current system where only a few receive their comics on Tuesday. This won’t change the on-sale date for comic books, it will just…
Bluewater Productions continues to relive Revolutionary Comics’ history with startling similarity. Kenneth Feinswog, has sent cease and desist notices to Bluewater on behalf of his clients Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, over Bluewater’s unauthorized biographical comics featuring those performers. Serious damages and injunctions are being threatened. Los Angeles lawyer, Feinswog is the same lawyer who…
Daredevil hasn’t yet been made into a Silly Bandz or a Character Bandz. Even though Abomnation has. There’s no justice. But Jock’s cover art from Daredevil: Reborn #1 seems to have old horn head staking his claim on the new cult collectable with a giant Silly Bandz spread out across the rooftops of Hell’s Kitchen….
Collectable? Check. Cheap? Check/ Loved by kids? Check. Silly mispelling using the letter ‘z’ at the end? Check. Silly Bandz are a major US youth craze right now, elastic bands that keep their shape when posed. And available in a number of pre-poses to collect or wear around necklaces. And just as before, comic publishers…
WARNING: While this article is Safe For Work – at least as far as visuals go, the links are not. Unless you work in the kind of place that doesn’t care. Advertising is good for that, as is the music industry. After the success of the porn parody Batman XXX, Vivid and Axel Braun are…
Boo hiss. Paul Cornell’s screened pilot of his new hospital sci-fi horror TV show Pulse on BBC 3 has not been picked up for a series. At the Edinburgh TV Festival, BBC 3 controller Danny Cohen said; The decision about which series to commission was not determined solely by audience numbers. BBC3 looks hard at…
Jeff McClinchey got busy with the clicky at the Fan Expo this weekend in Toronto. He told Bleeding Cool; The show seemed bigger then ever. They changed the layout of the show from the past few years but it still suffered from extreme bottle necks between floors. One friend said he got stuck on the…
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…
