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,…
I’m fighting a raging sinus infection and attendant toothache at the moment, but I want to try and catch up with a series of Rushes posts. Bear with me for a little while as I heal and try to get back to standing up straight. Beauty and the Beast 3D may be on ice, but…
Stan Lee has taken his latest alliterative message about his new superhero line from Boom! Studios to YouTube to talk to retailers. Watch him pitch the books Soldier Zero by Paul Cornell and Javier Pina, The Traveller by Mark Waid and Chad Hardin and Star Born by Chris Roberson and Khary Randolph in the Stan…
I understand that as a result of a major accident, a number of comic books won’t be reaching comic stores served out of Diamond Comic Distribution’s Los Angeles warehouse this week. They include; MARVEL: Amazing Spider-Man #68 2nd print Captain America 1940s Newspaper Strip #3 Dream Logic #2 Essential Hulk TPB Vol 6 Prince Of…
Some of the best artists in the world read Bleeding Cool, so if we can hook any of you up with one of our favourite directors, then we’d definitely be doing our good deed for the day – and then some. Production company Hammer & Tongs (a.k.a. director Garth Jennings & producer Nick Goldsmith, a.k.a….
So while I was in Chicago, it seems, Captain America was in London. Ace Showbiz and have visuals from Trafalgar Square filming of VE Day, and HeyYouGuys HeyUGuys have more footage from the remains of the Farnham, Surrey shoot. And apparently they followed Bleeding Cool instructions on how to get there!
Bleeding Cool previously reported that Ape Entertainment were to publich a comic licensed from the Black Dynamite movie. Well, at the other end of the license spectrum, I understand they are to license comic book publishing deals with Care Bears and Sesame Street. The latter will make Ape the third publisher to have concurrent Jim…
The thirty-second cut of the Frank Miller-directed Gucci Guilty TV ad starring Chris Evans and Evan Rachel Wood has hit the internet. And it’s strange – whatever flaws The Spirit had, seem to be perfectly suited to working in a shorter, more explosive, advertising format. And oh look, Miller-trademark-having-sex-lit-by-slatted-blinds too… Here are a few screencaps……
In this first look at Alex Ross’ cover to The Last Phantom #4 from Dynamite, the central figure seems to have been surpised in the act of self-pleasure, reaching the moment of issue, before being surprised, and grabbing his guns. Whether they are cocked or not, I can’t tell. And this is the Baltimore Comic…
Dean Haspiel writes about receiving his first Emmy Award for his role in Bored To Death. He posts; The Governor’s Ball was a starry sight. Hollywood throws a party. ‘Nuff said. I met and spoke to Stana Katic, star of TV show, CASTLE, and told her how much I loved her in Frank Miller’s SPIRIT…
Nick Jones has what he calls “a small role as an ex-marine in the new Green Lantern movie”. Which, considering he is a black actor, and the Green Lantern character ex-marine John Stewart has caused some to suggest that Jones is playing said popular character. And while Nick may not be talking about his role,…
I have landed back in Blightly after a few days is Des Plaines, off Chicago O’Hare airport, and a few hours in Chicago actual. Flown in by Wizard to cover Wizard World Chicago Comic Con. Most retailers (not all) told me that sales were down from last year overall, but up on C2E2. Most comic…
Or, The World of Visual Novels Part 2 Nitroplus may be one of the biggest commercial visual novel production companies in Japan, but they haven’t necessarily become pop culture mainstays like an EVANGELION or or GHOST IN THE SHELL. Perhaps the fact that their games are rated 18+ and feature sex scenes that are pretty…
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…
