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,…
They created 100 Bullets together, a book responsible for breaking out the possibilities of crime comics at Vertigo. We learned at NYCC that Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso would be working on new Vertigo book together. But had no idea what it was. Well we do now. Jim Lee, Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso and Will…
If I were to poll geekdom on their feelings towards George Lucas, several unflattering notions would reveal themselves. I’d liekly hear about his incessant tinkering, maybe even his greed. I think I’d even hear him called a rapist. A rapist of childhood, mind. Lucas is the kind of flat-out hero of the nerd world that…
Yesterday Nikki Finke’s Deadline site reported that Marvel Studios had pushed the Runaways movie project. And we were happy to pass that on. But she didn’t give us any idea when it was pushed to, and her story was widely read as being about an indefinite shove or a shelving. That may have even been…
It seems like only yesterday I was telling you about Steven Spielberg’s plans to make Daniel H. Wilson’s novel Robopocalypse into his next movie, after the double punch – released just five days apart! – of The War Horse and Tintin. But it wasn’t only yesterday, it was about three hours ago. Just before I…
Technically, Lea Michele is already in production on her first big screen feature as she’s providing the lead voice in Dorothy of Oz, an animated musical with Bryan Adams songs. But, for any number of reasons, we might want to discount that. So her “real” big screen debut could well be in New Year’s Eve….
Alexandre Astier is the writer, director and star of the French TV show Kaamelott, inspired by – guess what! – the stories of Camelot. Apparently, it started out with some very short episodes of just a few minutes each and, season by season, the running time increased until each episode was running for an hour….
Am I suffering from deja vu here? Yesterday, we reported how DC had removed an upside down cross from the cover of Batman And Robin #15. though it was present on the preview. And before that, the twenty-foot “Fuck” from Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Batman And Robin #1. Well, it seems the same has…
Let me refresh you on two of the new lead characters for the next, transatlantic series of Torchwood: [REX MATHESON] CAUCASIAN, Late 20s, CIA agent, a fast-tracked high-flyer. And he knows it! Rex is fast, sharp, smart, clever, and when the situation demands it, ruthless. He’s got a lethal sense of humor – he doesn’t…
Lionsgate have let loose their trailer for Rabbit Hole, the David Lindsay Abaire written drama that earned him a Pulitzer in its original stage bound incarnation. This cinematic adaptation was directed by John Cameron Mitchell, who appears to have eschewed his typical theatrics for deeper, richer drama. I can easily be dissuaded by Nicole Kidman,…
Monday and Tuesday sees a two part episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures airing on CBBC written by Russell T Davies. And guest-starring Matt Smith as The Doctor. And Katy Manning as Jo Grant. Boy, those torrents are going to be busy.
Little bits of casting were being completed, and director Peter Sollett was busy working away, but Marvel have decided to let their big-screen adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s Runaways slip into a low gear and idle awhile. Production was set for March, but now it’s postponed, with no indication for when it might be rescheduled. But…
Okay, that’s funny. Thanks to Matthew Meylikhov of Multiversity Comics for pointing it out. Remember Rise Of Arsenal #3? the one where Arsenal has violent and abusive sex before tripping on drugs and killing a cat? How could you forget… Bernard Chang didn’t. And in the most recent issue of Supergirl, he shows us a…
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…
