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,…
Geek And Gamer Girls. Guest starring Stan Lee, Seth Green and Katee Sackhoff. And four members of a lipsynching girl band Team Unicorn, Rileah, Michele, Milynn and Clare. Or as Bleeding Cool is renaming them, Cobra Girl, Han Girl, Psylocke Girl and Tomb Girl. Hell, a Top Of The Pops magazine article named the Spice…
We ran a stack yesterday, here are some more shots from Little Bleeder “Kjax” taken from the in-production Steven Spielberg movie War Horse that has closed the English village Castle Combe down for a couple of weeks. Filming begins on Tuesday, I hope the fruit and veg doesn’t get nicked before then.
This is very, very odd. I feel like I’m looking at a ghost. It’s standing right there, I can look it in the eye… but every cell in my body is telling me something’s not right, something’s not real. The actress Becky Fly, last seen in The Last Exorcism, has spoken to The Jackson Sun…
Stan Lee has written (or, at least, signed) the following open letter; I’m writing to urge gamers everywhere to take a stand and defend both the First Amendment and the rights of computer and video game artists by joining the Video Game Voters Network (VGVN). My memory has always been lousy and it’s not improving…
According to a report from his native Spain, a young man called Alex Gonzalez has been given the role of Tornado in the upcoming X-Men: First Class. The character is, according to the report, possessed of “great physical and mental dexterity”. Okay, but there’s just one thing… I’ve never heard of a mutant called Tornado….
You’ll have to tell me how much more interest this new trailer inspires in you, but it’s peppered with bits of material we’ve not seen in the main, US marketing clips. It comes from the YouTube account of Sony Pictures Phillipines. With this script and this cast and Jeff Cronenweth’s cinematography I wouldn’t be rather…
A new resource seems to be taking the place of the closed-down-and-blatantly-illegal HTMLComics. The Digital Museum purports to host links to a variety of Golden Age, out-of-print and “public domain” comics, including publishers from Ace to Ziff-Davis. Okay, I think their public domainness is questionable, especially considering some use current existing trademarks such as Ghost…
PrezWatch: Mark Evanier reports the death of Jerry Grandenetti and writes a eulogy. StripWatch: St Louis Today votes which comic book strips to lose, and which to bring in. It’s going to get bloody… on the way out are; • “Blondie • “For Better Or For Worse” • “Garfield” • “Hagar the Horrible” • “Hi…
Steven Spielberg’s War Horse is about to start filming at the village of Castle Combe in Wiltshire, England. The cast and crew have taken over all local accommodation in a fifteen mile radius, with over three hundred extras on hand and thirty horses. For those experiencing a sense of deja vu, the village featured was…
His bio: Brad Rader graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, as an illustration major. From there he went on to work in the animation industry as a layout and storyboard artist on such TV series as Rainbow Brite, The Littles, The Real Ghostbusters, Alf: The Animated Series, ALF Tails, The Simpsons,…
Here’s some weekend viewing for you, now that you’re not in the office and having to keep things muted. It’s just got to be more interesting than whatever ball game is clogging up the TV schedules. We’ll start with the first three episodes of Avengers Assemble, a parody series that features some sweetly ambitious costumes,…
Some filmmakers go by a last name only – Spielberg, Hitchcock, Scorsese; some can go by their first name alone – Marty and… er… Madonna; I think there’s probably just the one that goes by his first and middle initials. JJ (as in Abrams, keep up) is currently working on a fairly-secretive project called Super…
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…
