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,…
Glenn Fabry: It’s the story of this poor unfortunate family who are having difficultly while moving house and they’ve decided they’re going to stop off at this motel in America. This motel thing kind of mysteriously appears. They’re tired, and they’re gonna stay the evening in this motel. But it’s haunted, and there are zombies and…
The big WH Smith newsagent in London Victoria’s train station is promoting the launch of CLiNT Magazine with a signing from the well known TV and radio broadcaster Jonathan Ross and Mark Miller, the American football quarterback who played with the Cleveland Browns in the seventies. I mean, at least I think that’s who it…
Do you long to stride like Prince Namor? Get the respect that the Sub-Mariner deserves? Do you have a spare £135? Then you can buy this pair of Adidas Originals trainers/sneakers/pumps, designed by Jeremy Scott with added Namor functionality… Warning, wings may not actually work.
I’m thinking of getting this done as a T-shirt. Anyway, the girls and I just got back from Richmond Park, a large public park in the South West of London. We saw horses and deers and rabbits and swans… and comics. The girls are reading volumes of Glister by Andi Watson, a particular favourite of…
FIlm and comics journalist Danny Graydon reviews the first issue of CLiNT Magazine for Bleeding Cool. The magazine is available for sale in the UK from September 2nd. Nearly twenty years ago, in March 1991, a new weekly anthology comic called TOXIC! hit newsagents shelves in Britain. Created by the leading creative lights of 2000AD…
AlcoholWatch: London gets a Read Comics In Public Day. And, because it’s London, turns it into a Read Comics In Pub Day instead. TamaraWatch: Posy Simmonds gets profiled on her work Tamara Drewe and her history in the comics medium in the newspaper which made her name, The Guardian. From Hardy I nicked six main…
This is the cover the the Washington Post magazine featuring Frank Cho in a recreation of his Liberty Meadows image for his Paris exhibition. It’s part of a major feature on the creator both in print and on the website, with both print and video interviews – but also the making of this creation. Just…
It’s time for another nineties revival. The Amalgam Age Of Comics. After the Marvel Vs DC Crossover, the respective companies published a series of books by major talents that basically mashed up Marvel and DC characters into amalgams of each other. Dark Claw, Super Soldier and the like. But that was then. These days DC…
In a FrightFest Q&A a short while ago director Johannes Roberts (Forest of the Damned, Darkhunter) spent time not only discussing his newly-premiered high school thriller, F, he also let us in on a few details of his next project: a giant bird movie he’s currently filming in Ireland for US TV. Roberts said that…
I can’t believe he did it. I really can’t believe he did it. This is like exposing the inner secrets of the Illuminati or the lizard royal family’s diet or exactly where the Popbitch offices are now. But in a preview for Knight And Squire, his new DC series, Paul Cornell has a scene were…
Avatar have been handing out free copies of Lady Death Premiere at San Diego and Wizard World Chicago these past few weeks. But now it’s time for everybody to get copies. Lady Death Premiere is a comic that retailers order in batches of fifty (it costs them $15 a pack, but they do get a…
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…
