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,…
News is breaking tonight that Comic-Con International has chosen to stay in San Diego, at least through 2015. The San Diego Union-Tribune says: Ultimately, Comic-Con International’s decision to stay, which will be announced Friday morning, hinged on detailed contracts negotiated with the 64 convention block hotels committing them to prescribed, discounted rates through 2015. Concerns…
Here’s our first, brief glimpses of the next Doctor Who episode, 2010′s Christmas special, courtesy of a new BBC trailer made to promote their upcoming season of original drama. You’ll see Matt Smith, Kathryn Jenkins and Michael Gambon. There’s an awful lot of little bits and pieces in there – any of it in particular…
Sandra Ng and Louis Koo star as a pair of superheroes, Aroma Woman and Gazer Captain, a married couple who in the this trailer (from Sina), give their own special brand of greeting to the first men on the moon. So rude! What do you suppose their powers might be, with names like that? Looks…
From Ultimate Comics in the US/Canada and Forbidden Planet in the UK, here is a retailer variant to Mark Millar and John Romita Jr’s upcoming Kick Ass 2 #1 by Mark’s artist on 1985, Tommy Lee Edwards…
By Bleeding Cool contibutor Mike McLarty of ComicKarma. Follow him here, email him here. Bleeding Cool has obtained 3 pages of previously unseen art from Jeff Lemire’s upcoming Top Shelf release, The Underwater Welder. According to the solicitation text on Top Shelf’s website, it appears that an overlapping theme of pressure is going to be…
Seriously, what were they thinking regarding the new design of Dazzler’s costume in X-Men? Note, it’s just the same round the front as well. In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox. We trust…
So, Wildstorm ends in December. But what about all the trade paperback collections which have had to be set up much further in advance to deal with the book trade? Place your bets folks – between publish as planned, publish under DC or Vertigo imprints, or drop kick out of the retail stadium? Best guess…
It was probably the best scene in the vaguely disappoointing Iron Man 2. Tony Stark gets flung the case. He opens it, places it down on the ground and it envelops him, rising up and around him, to create a mini-version of the famous suit. And now you can do the same. If ever you…
WizardWatch: Joe Simon attends this weekend’s Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con. Say, maybe fellow attendee Mark Millar and he could put their heads together and come up with a new comic together. Wouldn’t that be spiffing? Any Little Bleeders willing to ask them at the show? StarWatch: Howard Chaykin draws the cover to Star…
X-Men: First Class came to Oxford yesterday. And Bleeding Cool’s Brendon Connelly wandered around the streets as they filmed, taking a few photos as he went. Which he subsequently uploaded to Bleeding Cool with a couple of night shots to follow. And then Bleeding Cool received the following; To whom it may concern: We have…
I was just minding my own business this evening taking a few photographs of Oxford at night. I thought, apropos of nothing, I might share them with the Bleeding Cool crew. Note the 1960s dress sense and vehicles – there must be a revival going on at the moment or something. Maybe a local themed…
A twelve year old girl called Tui stands in a river that is frozen up to her chest. She is five months pregnant, but won’t reveal who the father is, instead insisting that it was “no one”. Then… she disappears… We learned some months ago that Jane Campion was planning a return to television, and…
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…
