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,…
UPDATE: The print won’t be arriving in time for a midnight screening on Thursday 26th into Friday 27th (shame!) so the tickets will now be for Friday 27th August at 9.15pm. I am e-mailing all of the entrants to let them know. It’s nearly here again. On August 27th, Avatar will return in an extended,…
Before the competition, let’s have a look at some clips from the film just to, you know, get the lie of the land a little. Context, you dig? Okay – very cute. But still not sure what this Diary of a Wimpy Kid thing is? Then there’s a handy featurette too. And now we’ll do…
ComedyWatch1: Power Lunch gets submitted to a TV festival. It’s basically Jerry Maguire/Ari From Entourage meets superheroes. They had me at the title. Vote for them here. ComedyWatch2: DC Quick Fixes by Erica Henderson ComedyWatch3: Chris Sims’ rather fun Doctor Doom At The Gathering Of The Juggalos defeated by having to have the word [Humor]…
The casting couch in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Office must be pretty darn threadbare by now, and possibly a bit stained (you know – with spilled java, the cream out of donuts and so on). Here’s the latest passenger list for the mutant merry-go-round: Alice Eve couldn’t settle on a deal for playing Emma Frost so she’s…
Don’t expect any real surprises from Paramount Pictures over the next few months as it looks like the lid has been blown on their entire in-development slate. An e-mail absolutely overflowing with project and talent names was scooped by The Wrap. The studio have officially said that this isn’t an offical list – but who…
I think I’m starting to fall in love with Aaron and Tri-Force Mike of A Comic Shop and now Geek Easy, in Florida. Every week they read all of this week’s comics before you do, and inject you with the infectious joy of a fanboy. I rarely agree with half of what they say, but…
The new Marvel solicitations list the one shot Chaos War: Alpha Flight from Jim McCann. This will be the return of the original characters that Bleeding Cool first about talked here and that Digital Spy recently dissed. Newsarama have an pre-arranged interview with Jim McCann timed to go live when the solicitations did, talking about…
Warren Ellis arguably reinvented Norman Osborn into the character who would become so ubiquitous in the Marvel Universe. After the character returned at the end of the Clone Saga, he wasn’t used too much. Warren Ellis made him the head of a new government superteam made up of super-villains, from Venom to Bullseye in Thunderbolts….
Just in time for the new movie, what better way (apart from Blu Ray of course) to revisit the original nineteen-eighties movie than by a new comic book adaptation written by king-of-the-transmedia and Disney’s favourite new toy Peter David (also working on a digital graphic novel based on Epic Mickey), with Mirco Pierfederici on art…
Titanmatrix says F you marvel. I devote hundreds of dollars to your omnibus line, buy every variant that comes out for DD and still you are ending it on such a piss-poor run? Part of me is considering dropping every marvel book. Right now. Ken says Wow… nice job, Marvel. Cancel this title after non-stop…
Ultimate Spider-Man ran for 133 issues. Ultimate Comics Spider-Man publishes its 15th issue in October. In November, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man publishes its anniversary issue, renumbering to #150. Written by Brian Michael Bendis, with art by David Lafuente, Skottie Young, Sara Pichelli, Jamie McKelvie and many… wait a minute. 133 + 15 =148. November’s issue should…
Here’s the new trailer for Monsters that has been designed for US audiences. Below is what I said about the film in my Movie-Con report from Saturday: Gareth Edwards, the director of Monsters, did a Q&A and discussed the two clips we were shown. One had Monsters in it, the other didn’t. The one without…
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…
