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,…
In November, Deadpool has only five monthly books listed. Thor has eight. Thor, Thor: First Thunder, Thor: The Mighty Avenger, Astonishing Thor, Ultimate Thor, Iron Man/Thor, Chaos War: Thor and Thor For Asgard. Not only that but there are Loki, The Warriors Three and Thunderstrike spinoff books too. The Avengers/Thor/Captain America Official Index To The…
Here are five minutes worth of short excerpts from Neil Gaiman’s ninety-minute reading of The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains in the Sydney Opera House with music by FourPlay String Quartet, and Eddie Campbell on art. Naturally, spoilers but you can read the whole story first here. The video is courtesy of…
As we suspected, Comic Book Movie seems to have been leaked a whole lot of Green Lantern images. But rather than eek them out one day at a time, they’ve decided to go for broke and run the lot. No sign of Mogo though. UPDATE: The images of M’Dhana, Galius Zed, Salaak, Morro, Rot Lop…
Ryan Seacrest yesterday published, in full, some feedback-slash-censorship demands from three different TV Networks who were rejecting a Piranha 3D spot. I found it a great little read, and earmarked it for sharing with you. But…in the meantime, he’s pulled the plug and changed the post’s title from: Networks Give Feedback On Rejected Piranha 3D Television…
Over at Dreamworks, development is underway on something they’re calling Imaginary Enemies. The premise is a little twist on the Drop Dead Fred/Foster’s Home schtick. Risky Business report: The new project will be told from the point of view of the imaginary friends who had long been used as scapegoats by unscrupulous children looking for…
Art Marcum and Matt Holloway were two of the many voices pitching in to the first Iron Man movie’s screenplay, and two of the only four to get full screenwriter credit. They’ve just been given another strip-to-screen gig, and they’re on a tight deadline. So say, appropriately enough, Deadline. I hear that Paramount has hired…
It was shipped 1 in 10 withe the regular run of Tales From The Fringe #2 from DC/Wildstorm. But it’s started to make a small stir. Because it reproduces one of the parallel universe covers that was seen in the original show. The famous Death Of Superman comic book recreated as a Death Of Batman…
The particularly thin skinned might consider this entire story a spoiler. If you don’t want to know anything about anything (ever) then look away now. Still there? Of course you are. Nobody ever leaves. Tip: you might want to stay in your seat at the end of Red, the upcoming Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner…
I’m a real fan of screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, and that’s even after factoring in their wonky adaptation of 1408 and a pair of Problem Child movies. Those roughs are nicely carpeted with smooth however: their scripts for Ed Wood, Man on the Moon, The People vs. Larry Flynt and so on, even including…
See, it’s not just wrestlers, Buffy vampires, Battlestar Cylons, and people who played kids in Willy Wonka. There are actual comic book creators at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con. Here are just a few; Mike McKone. Seriously, I could have had so many headlines from this one… McKone States Which Avengers Students He Plans…
Short is sweet. This story is going to give you diabetes. James Gunn tonight tweeted: Cutting @RWZombie‘s voice into SUPER as the Voice of God! Typecasting, I know. The Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness maven tweeted, two days ago: And last but certainly not least, the FULL pic from @jamesgunn‘s SUPER starring @rainnwilson #TIFF10…
Carla Gugino is going to star in MILF. I can see the poster now: a cheesecake picture of Carla Gugino, the titular acronym spread out in very big, most likely red, letters. And I imagine the DVD will sell a lot of copies on the basis of its cover alone. But there’s a twist. According…
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…
