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,…
A Frank Quitely cover to the Vertigo vampire series from a few years ago, Bite Club, that would probably have done a lot better if it was published now… And the Gaga from Telephone In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies,…
From Now Comics 1988 From IDW in 2010 With just a little for seasoning… In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you…
A final run around the comic book and publisher tables at Wizard World Comic Con Chicago 2010. Do check out the previous three posts, there are all sorts of fun names, comics and artwork straight from the show floor … so who do we have today? J Scott Campbell Brian Pulido Ethan Van Sciver Antarctic…
On Friday night the high-end vintage comics community was abuzz that Metropolis Comics had listed an unrestored copy of Detective Comics #27 on their website with the CGC condition grade of 9.0. No such edition of the first appearance of Batman has been released onto the market in such a high grade without restoration. No…
Shi was a popular “bad girl” comic creation in the nineties, that made creator Billy Tucci’s name, form his own publisher Crusade. An Japanese/American warrior, she fought a bloodthirsty-yet-shodowy religious war though a number of series, specials and crossovers. And according to the man, from the floor of Wizard World Chicago Comic Con, the character…
Oh but this is beautiful. I mean I can’t really call this a swipe. It’s a homage, but one that goes far further than a simple image. The Darick Robertson cover for Boys spinoff Highland Laddie by Garth Ennis and John McCrea and features Wee Hughie sitting on a bucket. In a manner and pose…
Upping the ante somewhat from his recurring talk of retirement, Hayao Miyazaki is now pitching the dissolution of Studio Ghibli. He told Cut Magazine: Suzuki-san is making a dissolution program for Ghibli. No joke, we talked about it the other day. For example, Ghibli should be able to continue with about five staff members as…
Ev’rybody’s talking Fantastic Four, so let’s eavesdrop a little. But… before we get to the casting rumours, there’s one other little point of discussion: title of the upcoming reboot. Until now, the blogosphere was happy to call the movie Fantastic Four: Reborn. Seems like a viable option, but Screen Rant say this is definitely not the case….
Streetdance 3D director John Chu has taken over from Davis Guggenheim on a fast-turnaround Justin Bieber movie. According to current info, the film will combine some biopic material and a lot of live music shot on Justin Bieber’s current tour, and should hit cinemas in the spring. I assumed that had be movie moguls lining…
Dimension have shelved their plans for a Hellraiser remake and pushed forward instead with plans for another sequel, subtitled Revelations. That should please the fans, right? A return for the Pinhead that they know and love? Sure. If the film was going to have the Pinhead they know and love in it. Doug Bradley has…
Another walk around the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con talking to creators (and well away from the Blagojevich crowds now). Although there are loud “boos” from the rest of the hall when his name is announced on the tannoy. So, who do we have? Well, we start with X-Men writer Victor Gischler. In bunny ears….
Rod Blagojevich is charging $50 for a signature and $80 for a photo op at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con. Though you can see video of him giving them away free here. But how does that compare to other guests? Bleeding Cool gives you a handy-dandy guide to celebrity exchange rates, Celebrity Signature/Photo Op Michael…
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…
