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,…
It’s not just the American Golden Age comics from the nineteen thirties which are seeing a price bump of late. The Dandy Beano Summer Special from 1963, combining stories from popular British weekly anthologies Dandy and The Beano (here we see the British Dennis The Menace from The Beano about assualt the Dandy’s Desperate Dan…
Mentioned only in passing at last year’s Hitchcon, the first* TV adaptation of Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency has now been officially announced by the BBC for their autumn/winter season. What do we know? That it’s going to screen on BBC 4 (not BBC 3 as originally planned), and that the plot will…
OldSpiceWatch: “Look at the man you’re thinking of casting as Luke Cage. then back to me. Then back to that guy. Then back to me. Yes I’m the man your Luke Cage could look like, if you’d only cast me. Or I suppose I could be Iron Fist.” PornWatch: Tanya Tate spent most of the…
Can’t afford a copy of Action Comics #1 now it’s a million dollar topping comic book? Well, how about just a page of it? Loose covers and centerfolds have long been desirable to collectors who are looking to restore incomplete copies, but as the market has pushed past the $1 million mark for the likes…
Warren Ellis has posted a still from the upcoming movie Red, based on his and Cully Hamner’s comic book. He writes; Brian Cox. I got to see footage from his first scene with Mr Willis in Toronto. They just locked a camera off on him and he did about five minutes of dialogue in a…
Marvel’s standard sized six-issue Premiere Hardcovers have stuck at the $19.99 price point through the year. Marvel trade paperbacks however have moving up from $14.99 to $15.99 or $16.99. What does that mean? Well.. it means you get a few interesting anomalies. It means when a trade paperback is due, you can sometimes buy the…
From their Geek Easy pad come Aaron and Tri-Force Mike of A Comic Shop in Florida, with another retailer run down of this week’s top comic books. In their hands as well, no PDF previews here… Weekly TOP PICKS: 8.25.2010 #1. WONDER WOMAN 602 J. M. STRACZYNSKI! Good Idea/Bad Idea. Good Idea: Aiming a gun…
The iPad’s lack of multitasking has been a bane to some people. It would seem like the perfect device to read a comic on, while listening along to your favourite music. Indeed, some creators recommend certain songs for certain comic books – Phonogram kinda made it compulsory. But unless the music is embedded in the…
And here he is. Not only a porn star, with an X-styled Superman logo, he is also. apparently, a qualified parajumper, which will enable Vivid to film scenes in the air, with the chute hidden under his cape. You really will believe a man can fly. And do other things as well. Lois Lane will…
On Sunday, John Arcudi talked to the Philadephia Inquirer on why he hates superheroes. Just as his new superhero comic, a god somewhere, is published from Wildstorm. And so proud of it were Wildstorm that they linked to the article on their Wildstorm blog, The Bleed (which I still think they nicked from this site)….
TankWatch: A video trailer for the new Tank Girl series shipping in November. SciverWatch: Ethan Van Sciver was seen at three separate booths at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con trying to find the nicest copy of World’s Finest #142 he could… he also got a photo and signed headshot with Blagojevich; Better watch out Ethan,…
Forget the cameraphone footage from Comic Con, this is the real deal – over four minutes of The Walking Dead, now officially online and making it harder than ever to count the days until the series kicks off. The Hollywood Reporter got the premiere. FIX: Non-region-specific version; Walker Bros.? Nice.
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…
