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,…

Today’s the day that The Human Centipede opens in cinemas across the UK. The perfect time, then, to introduce you to The Human Sexipede. It seems that the script was available on the film’s official site, though it now seems to be gone. But not forgotten. Indeed, I’ve got it here and I want to…
What do you do when your political career is over, your name is a national joke and you have nothing left to live for? You go to Wizard World Comic Con. Disgraced Illinois politician Rod Blagojevich will appear at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con tomorrow – not to open it, but to set up his…
Yeah, Captain Thunder. Capitán Trueno. Not exactly one of the most popular comic book characters amongst Bleeding Cool readers (site stats says that the Porno Batman is most popular) but I’m still very curious about his upcoming translation to the big screen myself. The film’s first on-set image has appeared at Cinemania. Here we see…
Brendan McCarthy has written and drawn a new comic book. It is called FUBAR. He does not yet have a publisher. Interested parties are invited to enquire at swiminipurpose@yahoo.com
I’m not sure how this is going to go over with you, but I’m rather disappointed myself. While the next Wolverine picture has a perfect leading man and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie has, Bleeding Cool hears, delivered an exceptional screenplay, I’m not too convinced by the studio’s pick of directors. Second choice, say Vulture, is Robert…
One of the deeper aspects of the comic book industry that I’ve been keen to cover is the creation of comics themselves – ie. a glimpse into the physical process of putting the thing together and watching it all spring to life. I’ve already offered up some basics on obtaining an endorsement for your comic…
I understand from the floor of Wizard World Chicago Comic Con that Ape Entertainment is planning to publish a comic book series based on the recently DVD-released Black Dynamite moxploitation movie. Here’s the trailer. It stars Michael Jai White. You know? The guy who played Spawn in the movie? Yeah, yeah, it’s okay to have…
The Keyboard Is My FuckMonkey: Okay… Back to last week’s ongoing Super-Heroic Super-Ramble. CATCHUP CORNER: You’ll recall we concluded — using the triple-pronged spear of Logic, Axiomatic Truth and Si Shouting Nonsense Until We All Nod And Agree — that the modern archetype of a Crime-Fighting Super Hero is occasionally hamstrung by the sheer unbelievability…
UK graphic novel publisher Crawford Coutts of Insomnia Publications has issued the following statement; Dear all, I am writing to advise you that due to cash flow issues within the business I recently formed the opinion that continuing to trade was no longer viable. Sadly, the recession and credit crunch has resulted in a reduced…
Michael Giacchino started his professional composing career working on video games, moved on to TV, then to cinema and even branched out into theme park attractions. What’s next? I would suggest original music for public transport. It could use it. Something dramatic* for every time the train plunges into the tunnel would be especially good….
How does it go again? Remember, remember the 5th of November, Gunpowder, treason, plot… and the new film from Mike Leigh It’s called Another Year and it looks like it might be rather good Just a little poem there. One that will be on the lips of every Brit this Autumn. The Guardian today premiered…
Look! It’s Juan of the Dead! Juan De Los Muertos is directed by Alejandro Brugues. I wonder… is there any socio-political subtext to be squeezed from this official synopsis? Juan is a typical forty-year-old slacker. One day Havana begins to fill up with zombies. Juan decides that the best way to cope with it is…
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…
