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,…
Legendary film director Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Masacre) graced the FrightFest stage a few minutes ago. During his chat with Total Film’s Jamie Graham, he spoke about the myth surrounding Steven Spielberg’s on-set contributions to Poltergeist. Apparently a writer from the L.A. Times visited the set while they were filming some backyard scenes and Spielberg…
Currently most comic stores get their comic books on a Wednesday, for Wednesday sale (Thursday in the UK). Which necessitates simultaneous sorting, collating, stacking, pulling for pull lists, all on the busiest day of the comics week, when you have comics customers standing by waiting for their hit. It can create quite a logjam. However…
Here comes a little grey box with some competition business in it. UK readers take heed – and good luck. To celebrate the release of Dinner For Schmucks (in cinemas September 3, cert 12A) we are offering you the chance to win one of five limited edition Dinner for Schmucks t-shirt packs. Dinner for Schmucks…
You know, I thought Stay Puft marshmallows were real. Until thirty seconds ago. I mean, what did I know, living in England. You had your Pillsbury Doughboy, there were Oreos and Twinkies mentioned in the Ghostbusters movie, I had no other information to go on. Why wouldn’t I think it was real as the others?…
In the morning I will be taking the bus to the swimming baths with my girls. On the way I will be reading Terry Wiley’s Verity Fair tucked inside Posy Simmond’s Tamara Drewe. Eve will have an issue of Glister by Andi Watson, while Alice will have a copy of Tony Lee and Paul Grist’s…
So there’s this cartoon that’s been doing the rounds. 5 Super Neat Ways To Use A Hooker from Oatmeal. A play on the 101 Uses For A Dead Cat, it’s been sent from office to office to much hilarity. But I’ve got a problem. Two panels in, I was presuming this was a joke about…

Ah, The 5nal Destination. Yes, that’s what it’s called.* You have to call it that. Just like you have to say Se-seven-en. Tony Todd revealed at FrightFest tonight that he’s part of the cast roster for this next Final Destination picture. Presumably he’s going to play William Bludworth again, but he didn’t say as much….
I’m here, in my seat, and nobody knows what is replacing A Serbian Film yet. The mood is great, and I’ll be posting an update here in this very story after every film, so keep checking back. First up is Hatchet 2. Kane Hodder and Tony Todd are here, and so is director Adam Green….
Speaking at last week’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World premiere, Brie Larson told me: There’s gonna be a season three. I’m not sure if it’s gonna come out here or not. It surprises me that it doesn’t. Maybe that’s a political thing? We start season three when I get back, which is like (this) week….
Ethan Van Sciver is a right-wing, independent minded, forceful person who never shies away from controversy. And we wouldn’t want it any other way. He also gained infamy for, at Grant Morrison’s request, hiding the word SEX in a number of panels in New X-Men. Well now he’s at it again. The DC Source blog…
Nancy King is running again for Senate in Maryland. Involved with the Montgomery County Education Association, on the school board, and on the Senate Budget and Taxation education subcommittee, she’s running on education, education and education. And this is the cover to her direct mail campaign. Whether Marvel and DC have a say in the…
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…
