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,…
The new Bruce Banner, in the form of Bleeding Cool favourite Mark Ruffalo, has revealed that he’s going to “actually” play the Hulk himself. This, he says, will be acheived through the magic of “Avatar stop-action, stop-motion capture”. Nope. Never heard of it. Ruffalo seems to be quite fizzed up for the role. He told…
TomTom are selling the first two of their Looney Tunes voice packs, giving you the option of having either Bugs Bunny or Yosemite Sam give you directions. I’m not sure I’d trust the rabbit after his infamous wrong turns in Albuquerque. Coming up in October are Daffy Duck and Sylvester, then in November, two variants…
Last Unicorn is an adapted comic series coming out from IDW based on the Peter S. Beagle novel, by Peter Gillis, Renae De Liz and Ray Dillon, through Conlar Press. And, with issue 3 on the way to stores, it’s hit a problem. And the creators have come up with a novel solution. Issue 5…
SPOILERS FOR ASTONISHING X-MEN: XENOGENESIS #3 BY WARREN ELLIS AND KAARE ANDREWS. What seems like an age ago, I reported that Warren Ellis was reintroducing the Warpies back to the Marvel Universe in Astonishing X-Men. And so it came to pass in Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis, three years later. As I wrote then; Created for the…
C’mon, Harry – whatever it is, you can tell us. Harry Knowles, the Headgeek himself, popped up today in the AICN Talkbacks (ie. fandom’s equivalent of the World War II trenches, and all of his own making). He had something to say about Deadline’s list of Chris Nolan’s preferred Superman directors. Here’s his comment: I wouldn’t…
It’s 2.30pm in New York City. The one-on-one interviews with DC and Wildstorm staff have been completed and they’re running one big internal meeting about everyone’s future. I didn’t feel too comfortable running this before that process had at least finished. Imagine the scene from American Beauty, it will have been very uncomfortable for many….
…a pair of rubber feet as Captain America’s feet. Are they in with a shot at best supporting actors, do you reckon? And here’s a couple of videos I like to call “Stunt Dive In The Distance” and “Run, Captain, Run”. Images from INF, The Daily Mail and Barry John via Hey U Guys, videos from…
IFC have announced that they will be distributing Tom Six’s Human Centipede 2, subtitled Full Sequence, next year. To underline this, the film’s first teaser has been unleashed. Now, that’s most definitely not the voice of Tom Six you’re hearing there. His own voice is quite clearly that of a man from the Netherlands. Why…
I always thought you couldn’t libel the dead. Drinky Crow/Maakies creator Tony Millionaire seems to be of another opinion. In that one of his old strips from his archive featuring Michael Jackson is cause for someone to try and shut his site down. It could be a taste thing of course. I mean, it is…
This is what Dynamite are serving up for the festive period, a Project Superpowers Christmas Carol, written by Alex Ross and Brandon Jerwa, drawm by Patick Berkenkotter with the following cover by Ross. So come on retailers, don’t be a scrooge with those orders… Christmas is a time of hope and peace. It’s also a…
Ben Affleck’s The Town opens today across the UK and is already going great guns in the US. This last Sunday I attended a BAFTA screening of the film and took part in a Q&A with Ben Affleck and Rebecca Hall afterwards. Here are Five Things about The Town I found particularly interesting, complete with…
This is a sketch from a new Dynamite book by Garth Ennis and Adriano Batista. Garth already writes the Boys and Battlefield books for Dynamite, Adriano draws Jungle Girl and Red Sonja – but this looks something different, possibly in the secret agent genre? Blood, women and guns, apparently…
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…
