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,…
It’s just a few weeks until the directorial debut of William Monhan, screenwriter of The Departed, is upon us. And I mean “us” as in Rich and I, because we’re in the UK. The US release is still someway off, in February of next year. Some of you might want to be jealous. London Boulevard…
In what would appear to be a huge coup for the company, digital comic and eBook publisher Wowio has been issued a Notice of Allowance for a group of 32 claims covering a range of ad-supported eBook concepts and implementations. According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, a Notice of Allowance indicates that “it…
Bleeding Cool will later have some exclusive information to share regarding this project, but first I’ll have to lay the groundwork. At next week’s AFM, one of the in-the-works projects being shopped will be horror anthology Paris, I’ll Kill You. The title is meant as a twisted-up reflection of the romantic compendium movie Paris Je…
Gareb Shamus, CEO of Wizard Entertainment, will today announce a new Wizard World Comic Con for Miami. The event is scheduled for Feb. 26-27, 2011, at the Miami Airport Convention Center (MACC) in Miami. Why Miami? Shamus says: The fans wanted a warm weather destination for the winter, so we are presenting Miami Comic Con….
Nick Jones is an actor we’ve featured on Bleeding Cool before. He appears in the upcoming Green Lantern movie, and has spent some of his time since then dropping very large hints that he’s playing John Stewart – a character who becomes a Green Lantern some time after Hal Jordan. So possibly in Green Lantern…
Freshly-minted BFI fellow Danny Boyle has revealed the interesting little hook he’s cooked up for his version of Frankenstein. One of the two projects that then director says will keep him from getting right on with 28 Months Later – the other being the opening ceremony for London’s 2012 Olympics – this retelling of Mary…
1) This weekend, the MCM Expo 2010 in London at the ExCel Convention Centre in the Docklands. The biggest comics convention in Britain with an attendance of 30,000. Preview afternoon from 2pm today followed by the Eagle Awards, one of the oldest comic industry awards around. I’ll be there, don’t be a stranger. Big comics…
This is The Bleeding Cool ComicChron Robot speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on. Stan Lee, Mastermind Of The Marvel Universe : NPR And slowly, the mails started changing. Originally, our fan mail was written…
If you aren’t in love with John Carpenter’s The Thing then I don’t think I can be in love with and this whole Bleeding Cool free love commune idea is just going to fall apart. But if you are (and you really are, I know you are) then you’ll be as fascinated by this as…
Ripped from the pages of the new Entertainment Weekly, here’s a small bonfire’s worth of Captain America images. Chris Evans with his top off, Chris Evans with his back to us and a blue helmet on, some chaps on bikes – that kind of stuff. These appear to have been scanned with scant regard for…
Wow. This is a big deal to a geek like me. James Cameron genuinely has a great idea for how he’s going to approach Avatar 2 and 3. It’s not a new idea, I should say, and Cameron himself has been talking about it for a while, but he does now actually seem in 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…
