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,…
I was tracking this one from the very second any trace appeared online, and we even had a spy on set, but Halloween is now here and it brings with it, Terry Gilliam’s “filmette”, The Legend of Hallowdega. I’ve not actually seen it yet – I’m exercising willpower and sharing the link with my beloved…
You see a lot of lists like this around Halloween, and most of ‘em are fun to glance at, but they largely all cover the same unhallowed ground every year — EC’s (deserving though they are) and a small handful of other well-known classics. There is an entire lost world of vintage comics out there…
Okay, so it is in no way an exact adaptation. But it’s close enough that you can do this… And feel free to give Bleeding Cool a little AMC boost by clicking here.
Empire are currently in the process of teasing our first ever image from Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s Tintin. At the time of posting, they’ve revealed ten details from the big image that, I’m guessing, will be with us in full tomorrow the morning. I’ve recognised that the pieces actually seem to fit one particular…
Firstly, here’s the last chance to keep Bleeding Cool on the Walking Dead board.. please check it out. Okay plug done. And no, I’m not talking about the Vikings/Patriots game… much. But it’s been a Zombie kind of week on the BC US campus. Drunken costumed Halloween revelers stumbling around the neighborhood due to the…
It may well be the stand out strip of the new relaunched Dandy comic. Pre-Skool Prime Minister, in which the country have elected a three year old. And which features a rather familiar face. Is that ex-leader of the Tory Party, now the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions? Yes, yes it is. And…
I’m not going to MCM London Expo today. Oh I want to, don’t get me wrong, but something (possibly in a bacon sandwich from the Fox pub) has seen me struck down with vomiting, shakes, diarrohea and the rest. Bleeurghh. The Eagle Awards went off well. Damn you CBR! I was very pleased to see…
Things are looking good for the film version of Randy Queen’s 90s-era classic Darkchylde comic. It’s been a couple years since WETA entered the picture, Newsarama revealed some WETA test footage for the film this summer, and now a press release has John Carpenter signed on to direct. Queen had this to say: “I’m beyond…
With key congressional elections just days away, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert staged a rally to — in the Washington Post’s words — “redeclare Americans’ ability to get along and work together, regardless of their ideological differences,” and poke fun at the typically overheated media conversation that surrounds US politics in the process. The rally…
The Man just announced at the Detroit Fanfare convention that he is working on a new, unnamed project with Jim Steranko. Steranko is probably best known for his work on Marvel comics such as Nick Fury, Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D. where he started drawing Stan Lee’s stories before taking the whole job on himself. His sense…
One of the defining characteristics of superheroes is that they are people who can do more. They can fly, or read minds, or punch through walls. Even if they have no superpowers, they still have peak abilities, and they still go out and fight crime. They do things that you and I cannot do. In…
Happy Hallowe’en for tomorrow folks! Courtesy of Stan The Man!
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…
