Warren Ellis has been talking plenty at Kapow, in London today. Lots of questions, lots of answers, lots of laughs, an unlit cigarette and a can or three of Red Bull. Amongst the jollity, he talked more about Gun Machine, his upcoming novel. That it is centred on a cop who discovers an apartment full…
Rich Johnston is embedded at Kapow. Why not come by and say hi? I’m in the Captain Britain T-shirt… Dan DiDio and Bob Wayne have just presented the Before Watchmen panel at Kapow, giving us a first look at the Josh Middleton cover for Silk Spectre as well as some very brief, blurry looks at…
The folks at Close Encounters, a comic shop in Northampton, England, are organising a comic convention for later in the year, possibly around September time, the Northants International Comics Expo. They will confirm fifteen guests on Monday. One of those guests will be Alan Moore. Intriguingly, admission will be gained by donating a graphic novel…
It was the clear winner of Free Comic Book Day. Depsite thousands and thousands of copies being given away for free, it sells on eBay for up to $13. The Mouse Guard hardcover was a hit, with six short original stories promoting Archaia’s books. Every other publisher should have been so jealous looking at it….

I’m not talking about Neil LaBute’s odd and confusing remake of The Wicker Man, but Robin Hardy’s odd and confusing original. For years and years Hardy has promised a follow up to his cult classic, and finally, he’s about to deliver because a trailer for The Wicker Tree, formerly Cowboys For Christ, has appeared on the film’s official site. Thanks to Shock for the tip-off.
UPDATE: And here’s an embed, courtesy of Dread Central.
The Wicker Tree – Teaser Trailer
Uploaded by dreadcentral. – Full seasons and entire episodes online.
As soon as I can embed a version, I will.
Advance word suggests that the film is a touch campy and a touch silly, which this trailer does little to dispute. That won’t matter because the original one was too, just as long as it’s also a touch creepy.
Having been moved to the verge of a standing ovation by Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner in The Avengers, Rizzoli & Isles star Angie Harmon has decided she has to be She-Hulk. HAS TO BE. In her excitement, Ms. Harmon posed for a photo as though smashing the pavement. When she tweeted the picture, it…
Albert Moy sells Jim Lee’s original art on his behalf. He’s just put up the pages from the New 52 Free Comic Book Day volume. In which you get to see not only Jim Lee and Scott William’s original art for the story – but also the patch job they had to do to change…
While shooting a commercial for ShootTheCentrefold.com using the actual Batmobile from the 1998 Batman movie, North Miami Beach cops pulled over the vehicle. Producers were waiting around the corner with cameras rolling for the Batmobile to drive by. The driver, in platform heels and little else was given a warning for “Improper Footwear While Operating…
Will Arrow replace Smallville as the DC on CW show that I hardly ever watch but still somehow main a light interest in? Perhaps the clues are in this first teaser trailer. Which I can’t see – yet – because I’m away on a top secret mission for the good of Queen, Country and Bleeding…
A number of DC subscribers have contacted Bleeding Cool rather annoyed that DC Comics have told them that they can no longer get their favourite books in this fashion, and they will be cancelled with issue 10. Which means Justice League International readers will miss the final two issues of that comic, and unless they…
Greg Capullo once said that, when leaving Haunt, he had a choice between working on Batman and Wolverine, and went with the relaunch of Batman with Scott Snyder. Turns out that the temptation may have been even harder, and that he was offered the opportunity to draw Avengers Vs X-Men. In an interview he says;…
