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,…
Mark Millar has teased a couple of times about an upcoming comics-and-media show for London next year and his possible involvement in it. Well, in an email to selected industry individuals, it just got real. He states that his partner runs an event organising company in London and is planning a “huge San Diego style…
With all the inevitability of death, taxes and being taxed because you’ve died (trust me, they’re working on it in a backroom somewhere), the sequels to Avatar have been announced. For now, they’re being called Avatar 2 and Avatar 3, though Cameron has previously promised that this wouldn’t be the case – it wouldn’t make…
Those New Zealand tourist board ads that sell the place as Middle Earth on Earth don’t need to be thrown into the fire quite yet, as a deal has been struck that will see The Hobbit filmed in Peter Jackson’s mother country. Here’s a little BBC video on the situation: Well, that’s good news for…
It’s a trailer for the Psychoville Hallowe’en Special on BBC 2. Based on the cursed video from The Ring movies,you’ll also see references to Paranormal Activity, Saw, Jacob’s Ladder, Nightmare on Elm Street and even Un Chien Andalou and The Eye. Brendon won’t watch this because it’s got clowns in it. But here’s a still…
The MCM London Expo. I used to be terribly snobbish about this sort of media/cosplay fair and had some bad experiences when young. Then I went to this one and everything changed. You get caught up in the joy, the love, the fact that there are stacks of seventeen year old women buying their first…
The official title of Chris Nolan’s third Batmovie is going to be The Dark Knight Rises. Nolan revealed this Geoff Boucher, while also stamping out speculation that the film will feature The Riddler. Warner Bros. have also decided that Nolan should be able to film in IMAX, but not 3D. That’s one way in which…
So the first issue of the new relaunched Dandy comic, now a weekly comic full of, you know, comics has launched. And there has been a minor media fuss. Sky News highlights the voting option of characters along with the Harry Hill strip. The company that created The Bogies strip sends out its own press…
Okay, let’s get ready to rumble. I’m 100% committed to the argument that Jean Pierre Jeunet’s Alien Resurrection is not only a better film than Alien 3, it’s actually the secret weapon of the series. It’s a matter of record that Joss Whedon, the film’s screenwriter isn’t too pleased with the outcome, and I think that…
From Chuck (McBuck) Forsman…
GrooWatch: The pumpkin you should never call a mendicant… BastardWatch: David Baillie plugs Bastards. TVWatch: Dexter motion comics with Bill Siekiewicz, David Mack, Kyle Baker and Ty Templeton… but not for non-Americans. StripWatch: The LA Times changes cartoon strips.

I don’t know if any Little Bleeders were subscribers to Max Barry’s Machine Man, a one-page-per-day sci-fi serial that ran from March to December 2009? I’ve only read the 43 first (free) pages and they were pretty good, but I obviously can’t vouch for acts two and three at all. Here’s how Barry himself answered…
There’s going to be a feature film based on Thriller because that’s just what happens when people like Michael Jackson die and the exploitable rights to everything they ever did fall into the laps of managers and trusts. Unsurprisingly, there’s a biopic on the cards too. Let’s see how long it takes Jackson to make…
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…
