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,…
So, artist Jimmy Broxton is starting to get more attention with his upcoming work on Knight & Squire with Paul Cornell. And will be making his “first official UK comic convention appearance” at the British International Comic Show in a few weeks. The show’s bio of him seems to be very coy; The elusive Jimmy…
There’s a surfeit of Fantastic Four hearsay to be passed along. Are we ready to play the childhood game of Telephone? According to Comic Book Movie, there’s news on casting for Dr. Doom and The Thing’s gravelly tones (see what I did there?), and some talk of just who it is Fox might want to…
QuesadaWatch: It is ten years to the day since Joe Quesada was appointed Editor-In-Chief at Marvel Comics. Jim Shooter only lasted nine years and Stan Lee only… well, only twenty-seven years, but still. Quesada was previously working in an editorial capacity as Editor-In-Chief of Event Comics, brought into Marvel to take over certain underperforming titles…
By: Greg Pak, Scott Reed, Tom Raney, Brian Ching Cost: Free Really? For now. Marvel have put the entire comic up as a digital preview By mistake? Not sure. It is an odd decision. So… story pages: 30 Price per story page: $0 Hulks: 5 So what’s going on? Apparently the various Hulks have done…
Marvel Comics often provide previews of their comic books through their digital comics service Marvel DCU. And they’ve just done such a thing for Incredible Hulks #612. Except, rather than the usual six page preview, they have put up the comic book in its entirety, two days before it’s release. Completely free. I’m not sure…
“Eighty-five million dollars? Really?” Apparently so. As much as Scott Pilgrim VS The World is a dazzling delight of innovative CGI, choreographed set pieces and a unique visual style, there has been some disquiet over the price of the thing. Especially since director Edgar Wright was able to make Shaun Of The Dead on 5%…
During San Diego, Bleeding Cool scooped the story that chapters from a new graphic novel Agent Mom were to debut on new site launching in September, MTV Geek. At the time we reported that Agent Mom was a new comic written by Smallville and Stargate Universe’s Alaina Huffman and comics writer Tony Lee and drawn…
Director Adam Green and actor/stuntman Kane Hodder are in London for this year’s Film4 FrightFest where their splatstick throwback Hatchet 2 proved to be a much-loved opening film, not least of all by me. They were joined after that screening for an onstage Q&A by Tony Todd (Hatchet, Final Destination 3) and Danielle Harris (Cyrus,…
Chris Burnham was running an Officer Downe competition on his website to win origi nal art – the challenge was to find all the swipes he used. Well, here are a couple that got missed… Officer Downe from Image Comics on the left. Fist Of The North Star vol. 4 on the right. Officer Downe…
There are two comic conventions happening this weekend. While the Harveys are being held in Diamond’s home city of Baltimore, Marvel have decamped up north to Toronto where they seem to have set up shop at the restaurant bar. But here’s the word on the show floor from a Little Bleeder who’s been hanging around…
George Perez posted to Facebook; As many of you have already learned, The TEEN TTANS: GAMES graphic novel has been taken off the November release schedule and will be re-solicited. The fault is entirely mine. I’m afraid that a confluence of events, including my worsening e…yesight which prompted the ongoing surgical procedures that I’ve already…
Now that The Hurt Locker‘s Jeremy Renner has been cast opposite Tom Cruise in a bid by Paramount to future-proof its Mission:Impossible franchise, the studio, along with director Brad Bird and producers Cruise and JJ Abrams, are now on the hunt for M:I4′s female hottie, erm, operative. Lauren German (Hostel: Part II), Paula Patton (Precious)…
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…
