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,…
He may have been found guilty of misleading investigators. He may have has a mistrial on other charges leading to a new court case for next year. There may be recorded evidence of him trying to sell the Obama’s vacated senate seat for personal profit. But Chicago loves their ex-governor Rod Blagojevich and that was…
Below are three clips from The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader that were issued to Group, a family ministry in the US. Group are currently plugging an event called Fun For The Whole Family Hour, at which: Everyone will watch exclusive, never-before-seen clips from the latest Narnia adventure, The Voyage of the…
Despite the lack of major publishers, there was still a lot to see at Wizard World Chicago this weekend. Feeling more like a large local con than a major industry event, attendees divided the bulk of their time between the dealers area- where the majority of booths offer extremely discounted trade paperbacks and back issues-…
This weekend, Paramount are holding a casting call for a “Major Motion Picture”. Well… that will be JJ Abrams’ Super 8, then. Surely. What else would they be so coy about? This is a bit last minute for a film that starts shooting in September, perhaps. I’m pretty convinced that this is for Super 8, though,…
Confirming our theory that Comic Book Movie have an entire filing cabinet of Green Lantern production images waiting for publication, they’ve today unleashed another page load. Meet Princes Iolande, Larvox, G’Hu, Naut Kei Loi, Hannu, Apros, Medphyll, Isamot Kol. UPDATE: Three days later, we get a Cease And Desist order from Warner Bros, further confirming…
Neil Gaiman has been writing about the trials and tribulations of writing Doctor Who and includes a scene that has now most definitely been cut from his upcoming episode. It starts when “The Doctor has just been given a bowl of something to eat. Something…possibly… alien…” AMY Is it something people can eat? (to Doctor)…
More chats with comic book creators at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con. Apparently there are 300 comic book creators showing their wares at the show this weekend. But I’ve only had time to talk to a handful. First up, Menton J Matthews III of Silent Hill. Tim Vigil, of Faust. Russell Lissau of Batman Strikes!…
We start with Kabuki. We finish with Popcorn. But this is a quick trip from one side of the Wizard World Comic Con to the other. Do watch out for Julie Newmar.
Bryan Singer has decided to open up and spill about the little mutant movie he’s producing right now, X-Men: First Class. This is the biggest info-burst on the film we’ve been given so far, and it all sounds pretty promising to me. Here’s how the info got out. According to tonight’s Aint It Cool post,…
This pretty much speaks for itself. And what it says is “Christmas”. It was premiered on The One Show tonight (which explains the ’1′ on the right hand side, but not necessarily in the way you’d think). UK viewers can watch the show via iPlayer. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan are guests and you’ll also…
Pedro Almodovar’s next film will be The Skin In Which I Live, set to start its eleven week shoot on Monday. The screenplay has been adapted from Thierry Jonquet’s novel Tarantula, originally Mygale. I’ve not read the book, I’m afraid, but I do know that it’s quite full of… ‘deviant’ behaviour. Human Centipede deviant? Actually……
It was released last week and sold out. Not that uncommon for an Image comic book. But it looks like Morning Glories by Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma is imitating the sales pattern of both Chew and Walking Dead. Major promotion from Image wasn’t exactly backed by confident ordering from retailers. So this was quite…
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…
