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,…
Thank you to the anonymous Little Bleeder who shioved these in a zip file and e-mailed them over. This is how Manchester’s North Quarter is looking right now in preparation for filming Captain America. They certainly look like period shots – if you can ignore all the modern street furniture that needs clearing away…
I already told you that there’s a hidden, potentially frustrating, section on the Iron Man 2 Blu-ray, but it has taken a while for trustworthy confirmation to surface regarding just what it will contain. We’ve gotten some details from The Daily Blam, passing on news from Spider Media (who appear to have deleted it), and…
This is small news, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t wonderful. Think of a tiny, tiny diamond that packs plenty of carats. Moon director Duncan Jones has come right out with his big news for the day on Twitter: Have a bloody fantastic bit of Source Code news. Super star Clint Mansell WILL be scoring…
Robert Zemeckis has been slow-brewing a second Roger Rabbit picture for some time now, and Disney have been wanting one for even longer. There’s been a lot of time and energy spent on development over the years, and I’m certainly emotionally invested enough to want to see it all pay off. Well, as long as…
The last few weeks have seen a real return to the speculator market in comics of the nineties. But rather than concentrating around high profile franchise brands with specialist covers, instead what is drawing attention are creator owned comics, with relatively low print runs thanks to conservative orders from retailers, and a tendency for these…
The Special Relationship, starring Michael Sheen as Tony Blair and Dennis Quaid as Bill Clinton, is released today on DVD and BD by Optimum in the UK. Here are our Five Things about the release. 1. It’s A Threequel Michael Sheen first played Tony Blair in The Deal. Written by Peter Morgan and directed by…
Lady Death is returning at Avatar. Creator Brian Pulido and co-writer Mike Wolfer talk to Avatar’s Keith Davidsen. Warning… it’s a little bit pluggy. Keith: It’s 2010, we’re now well into the new millennium, and Boundless Comics is poised to bring back the beloved LADY DEATH comic book series. What’s the new, fresh take on…
Well, I couldn’t make it to the shoot, so here’s the next best thing, a SFW behind-the-scenes video of Axel Braun’s new production, with green screen everywhere…
The cover of CLiNT #2 will feature Hit Girl, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Charlie Brooker. Something like this maybe? Everyone’s a twitter in New York. There’s a teleconference in the air, planned it seems for tomorrow. The only thing gossipy Manhattanites are sure about is that it will most definitely mean the move of…
“Of all the stories told in these islands, few are more strange as that of William Palmer. Cursed, apparently, on the road to Canterbury in the Spring of 1185 for denying the presence of the other world by the king of the Grey Folk, or Faerie, himself, and compelled to walk from that day to…
DC Source has announced that Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen will be reteaming on a new Legion Of Super-Heroes Annual for the third time. Best known for their collaboration on the title in the eighties, they haven’t worked on the book together since. Giffen would have a transformative run on the book in the nineties…
In a letter to retailers, publisher Darren G Davis of Bluewater Comics, who creates a series of biographical comic books about politicians and pop culture figures, has refuted recent reporting that he is being sued by Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga over their appearance in his Fame series of books. He writes; By now you…
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…
