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,…
Eric Stephenson is the publisher of Image Comics. He recently agreed to a little interrogation by Bleeding Cool. We talked about piracy, Neil Gaiman, speculation, Jack Kirby, digital sales, Warren Ellis, Robert Kirkman, Matt Fraction and the direct maket. I really hope he didn’t regret it… Image’s market share has been slipping of late. At…
I was lucky enough to talk to Eric Balfour about the upcoming alien invasion thriller, Skyline, of which he is one of the stars. It’s an independently produced film that promises to reverse the fortunes of directors Colin and Greg Strause after their studio picture, Aliens vs Predator Requiem. It will go on release across…
Are these the best cosplay photographs from the New York Comic Con in the world ever? Quite possibly. Marnie Joyce is a professional photographer based in New York, specializing in event and promotional work, with work recently appearing in Bass Player Magazine. And she squeezed the NYCC into her schedule for Bleeding Cool. And managed…
On the left is the solicited cover for Batman And Robin#15. On the right is the published cover. Apart from the logio and cover copy, can you see the difference? Looks like the ghost of Superman’s root beer is still with us…
Sometimes a picture says it all. Jonathan Ross at the BICS convention in Birmingham this weekend gone, becoming a Special Judge.
I’m not sure that John Wyndham’s Day of the Triffids has ever really been done justice on screen, but both a BBC 1981 production and the 1962 film have their moments. A most suitable project for revival, I feel. The rights have sat with Michael Preger for some time, and he’s been collaborating with Angry…
It’s a first: M. Night Shyamalan is to direct a movie from a screenplay he didn’t write himself. I’m a little surprised, maybe even disappointed. I’ve got a lot of love for his scripts for The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and The Village and it’s only really his Last Airbender screenplay that has me gotten…
CrossoverWatch: When Green Lantern appears in Marvel cartoons… ScandalWatch: Nothing to get a newsroom excited than a cartoon in a student newspaper that might be sexist. Quick! Everyone! Pile on! NationalWatch: USA Today splashes on The Adventures Of An Unemployed Man. 99Watch: Andi Khouri defends The 99 against extremist attacks. While Marie Javins ponders her…
An age ago, was the plan for KAOS 15. KAOS 15 is at present in slothful production, and will be an unlimited print edition published by the Moon and Serpent. One of the more interesting bits of news here is that myself, Alan Moore, Steve Moore, and William Fancourt have incorporated ‘The Moon and Serpent…
Round one. If the upcoming True Lies TV show is a clunker, will we be able to blame James Cameron? Here’s what he told Movieweb: I’m not really doing that. That was initiated by others, friends of mine who wanted to do that and I said, God yes, but do I have to show up and…
Once upon a time, there was going to be a Justice League movie, and it was going to be directed by George Miller. It all seems like a dream now, and it’s fading to fog, but the facts remain in the record even while the feeling is gone. Miller’s Batman was to be played by…
What are the chances? According to the Cleveland Metro, the local coroner has ruled in the death of Harvey Pekar that he died from taking an accidental combination overdose of two anti-depressant medicines, fluoxetine and bupropion (better known as Prozac and Wellbutrin), and that it was not a suicide. And yes, the name of the…
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…
