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,…
Mike McLarty writes for Bleeding Cool. David Lapham announced today on Twitter that despite suffering a relatively serious injury to his arm, he is coming forward with his realization that he is indeed a Miracle of Modern Science. Here are the excerpts detailing his transition from organic to something more human than human. MIRACLES OF…
DC Entertainment executives have told people that if The Boys had conme out from DC today, it would not have been cancelled. And there is no way they would have let a company like Dynamite! get their dirty little hands on it. The superhero satire by GArth Ennis and Darick Robertson that could, is heading…
We’re just a week away from the UK release of Burke and Hare, John Landis’ first theatrical feature film in over a decade. I. Can’t. Wait. Oh, and it’s also worth noting that I. Won’t. Let. The. Stupid. Poster. Put. Me. Off. There are two new TV spots right here, and over at Sky Movies…
UPDATE x2 We have the final piece of the jigsaw. The Wolverine image is from a Ryan Benjamin commission – not from an owned piece of Marvel art at all! Goodness! UPDATE x1 First I understand that Clay Mann will be drawing at least some of the issue. And it also appears that Gremlin from…
The dispute between Peter Jackson, the Hobbit production company Three Foot Seven and the actors unions in New Zealand appear to have reached a somewhat surprising conclusion: the production is being moved overseas. Stuff quotes Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, speaking on behalf of Warner Bros: The damage inflicted on our film industry by [the actors…
Disney Pixar have unveiled some new Cars 2 concept art alongside the first teaser trailer for the film. They’ve called the trailer a logo reveal, but that’s not fair – for one thing, we’ve seen the logo before, and for another, there are characters in this clip, and dialogue. It’s no more a logo reveal…
If I were a Thomas Hardy, I probably wouldn’t abbreviate my name. I’d like being associated with an expensive ale. Huh? Novelist? What? Anyway. We’ve known for a week that Tom Hardy has a lead role in the next Batman film, but we didn’t know which one. Then some concept designs landed in our inbox…
The solicitation says it all. MAGNETO #1 Written by HOWARD CHAYKIN Penciled by TBD Cover by ROGER CRUZ Before the Brotherhood, before his greatest battles with the X-Men, there was a man named Erik Magnus, gathering mutants to join his cause. Does the young Magneto have what it takes to build an army? And what…
The following clip comes from last night’s Spike Awards. You’ll see Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd reunited on stage, which is nice, and then Bill Murray will perform a little bit of a strip down. Only a little bit, mind, because he ends up in full Ghostbusting overalls, proton pack and all. Sexy. I…
At the New York Comic Con, Managing Editor Mike Pellerito stated that the lawsuit brought against them by Sonic comic writer Ken Penders for characters he had created for the comic being used in other media, had been kicked into touch. He told TSSZ News that “a single phone call by Archie’s legal department to…
ALex Ross on plots, designs and covers. Scripts by Jai Nitz. Art by William Tortosa. From Dynamite! This is Bring the Thunder, with Wayne Russell as a soldier who finds an experimental weapon in Afghanistan which transforms him. Klaw-style, he is turned into living sound. And get this “his experiences over there resonate in the…
Notice, no issue #3 of David Finch’s Dark Knight in the January solicitations from DC Comics, despite unveiling the cover a month ago? I hear the boy wonder is a little behind on the title. To the extent that he hasn’t finished drawing issue 1 yet, due out on November the 24th. The NYCC preview…
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…
