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,…
We sent an anonymous Little Bleeder to see the extended Avatar: Special Edition tonight at Fox’s London HQ. I’m very glad we did – this review is a corker. On Friday James Cameron’s Avatar returns to theaters, this time in the form of a “Special Edition”, and Bleeding Cool was given the opportunity to see it a…
Michael Powell’s 1937 movie The Edge of the World was the first of his films that he claimed ownership of after quota quickies and contract jobs that did not stir his passion or come from his heart. Ultimately, it was also his last movie, rereleased in 1978 as Return to the Edge of the World, complete…
I asked Rich who or what Iron First is. This is what he told me: Luke Cage’s partner Danny Rand. Mystical kung fu superhero. His fist is “like unto a thing of iron” or somesuch. Half of the unlikely buddy superhero team, Power Man and Iron Fist. White kung fu guy against black, street thug, Power…
The MPAA’s rating system drives me crazy. The idea that, in America, a five year old child can quite legally be taken into a screening of, say, Saw VI by an irresponsible father, mother, older sibling or even just a babysitter strikes me as a reckless and careless lack of legislation. I guess the theory…

If you too want to wield the power of Thor, then simply answer the following deliberately easy question on the comments section below. The question is multiple choice. Is Thor better known as a) The Mighty Thor…
We all know how much we love motion comics. Or rather, we don’t. But here’s an exception. The ntoriously low budget Poop Office from Naked Grape Comics brought to life in a new style of motion comics. That basically involved just shaking everyone up a bit. Much more entertaining. Enjoy…
Edgar Wright has shared this animation, from the eventual Scott Pilgrim vs. The World DVD and Blu-ray special features, to mark the release of the film today in his native England. The animation, Wright blogs, was by his brother Oscar and was intended to “explain the physics of the battle between Scott Pilgrim and Matthew…
The expectation has always been that a famous cameo player would do a star turn in the opening scene of Scream 4 and then get killed off before the titles roll. Without this actually being a consistent formula across the series, fans appear to have taken it to heart as one – it’s the Scream…
President of DC Entertainment Diane Nelson has been adamant to me on the issue, regarding the suggested move of DC Comics from New York to Los Angeles. We are looking carefully at all options related to more effectively integrating DC with Warner Bros. But no decisions have been made or communicated beyond that. So when…
The image above is from The Dream Machine, a work in progress anime feature film that remains incomplete, now that its director, Satoshi Kon, has very sadly passed away. On hearing of his death, I tried in vain to write a small tribute to Satoshi Kon. Unfortunately, I simply couldn’t order my emotional responses in…

Reading With Pictures isn’t just a non-profit organization working to advocate using comics as educational tools, it’s now also a collection of… well, comics as educational tools. Reading With Pictures Volume One is the first release from the Chicago-based non-profit organization headed by executive director Josh Elder. Founded in 2009, RWP’s mission is to act…
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…
