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,…
Snow White and the Huntsman is just one of three competing Snow White “reimaginings” in development right now. Well… one of the three that we know about officially, anyhow. This one will be based upon a spec script by Evan Daugherty, the man last year put in charge of writing Grayskull, a post-Lord of the…
I remember one day sitting in a friend’s really odd and swanky new car, looking at it’s cutting edge design and dazzling array of blinking lights and odd knobs and saying “It looks like something from the year 2000″. That day was in the summer of 2002. So maybe we didn’t start off the millennium…
Okay, so it’s not like Mark Millar hasn’t tried this before. But this image of President Barack Obama walking, holding a number of books, including the first copy of Superior was posted on Movie Forums. Labelled “a Spider-Man comic” by the poster Jenny Suski, it was clearly the Mark Millar and Leinil Yu comic in…
There’s a lot of reasons to love Wim Wenders, not least of them his films. I’ve always been right there with his passionate dislike of zooms, and this week he’s been campaigning to get European Film Studies on to school curriculums, concerned that young people are “growing up with only one kind of visual food”….
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. THRILLER Master Post Retrospective: Updated “Here’s a fun aside. Alan Moore volunteered to take over as writer, but I stupidly stuck…

Posted on the 2000AD forum. Barbarian specialist comics creator Liam Sharp is turning his hard, craggy chin back to the Judge. A tiny glimpse, of such chinniness…
And coming up fast on my blind side, in the shadow of the massive Avatar sequels announcement, comes the unexpected news that Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron have been meeting up and, so it would appear, making plans for… something. But do we know what? Schwarzenegger’s time in office is coming to a close and…
From The Hangover‘s director Todd Phillips , Due Date stars Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis as: …two unlikely companions who are thrown together on a road trip that turns out to be as life-changing as it is outrageous. Downey plays Peter Highman, an expectant first-time father whose wife’s due date is a mere five…

It’s our Avatar plug of the week with previews of the final issue (for now) of Ellis and Wolfer’s movie-optioned Gravel, and the eighth issue of George RR Martin’s adapted vampire novel Fevre Dream. Both out today in the US, out tomorrow in the UK. Gravel #21 story: Warren Ellis and Mike Wolfer art: Mike…
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…
