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,…
Another hour another city, here are a few more from the worldwide promotional campaign from AMC for The Walking Dead. Has any series ever kicked off with such a widespread concerted campaign before? Welcome to the global zombie village. Hint… Bogota is a really good one. Oh, and join the zombie invasion here… Boston: Chicago:…
Bleeding Cool recently reported that DC are desperately trying to put Batman & Robin back on track schedule-wise. A book that has seen the book slip a few months brought on to help get Grant Morrison’s last issue out of the door, in time for Tomasi and Gleason to take over the title with issue…
In something like 190 words time, what you’ll have learned is that there’s a female lead role in the next Batmovie, how old the actress will be and just what we know, so far, about who the character is. That’ll do, right? This week, say Moviehole, Chris Nolan will be meeting a stream of actresses…
Another runaround tomorrow’s comics today with Aaron and Tri-Force Mike from A Comic Shop and Geek Easy in Orlando, Florida… Weekly TOP PICKS: 10.27.2010 SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE J. M. STRACZYNSKI! Ultimate Superman! Everything you hate about Superman is NOT in this book! If you love Superman, it still has everything you love! ACS Note: We…
The Pope is visiting Santiago de Compostela in Spainin November. Something that the Spanish people and media are currently obsessing about. As anyone does really. Enough for humour magazine Retranca to run a cartoon with the Pope surrounded by the three million Euro cost of the official state visit. But also enough for the printers…
Here we go. How was yesterday for you? Americans, were the torrent streams working fine for you? Because now it’s time for Part Two… yesterday we left the Doctor suffering at the hands of the Shansheeth – alive, yes, but possibly not for long. We’ve had the regeneration extension, we’ve found out what happened to…
This is a weird one because what could have been a huge news scoop is being so casually tossed aside, but the Brazillian website Band are reporting that Leonard Nimoy has a role in The Hobbit. As The One Ring so rightly point out, this may just be a bit of confusion caused by the…
It was just a throwaway line in the latest episode of Sarah Jane Adventures, with Matt Smith guest starring as The Doctor, written by Doctor Who supremo Russell T Davies. Regular character Clyde interrogated The Doctor on exactly how many times he could regenerate. Previously set at twelve for each Time Lord, creating a total…
Footage from TRON: Legacy, the odd bit of dialogue and a whole load of Daft Punk. If I’m not very much mistaken that’s our first proper listen at that track, Derezzed. Daft Punkers (Daft Punkies?) will be overjoyed. I’m off to see the TRON Night footage tomorrow and I’ll be reporting back. We’re also being…
Kevin Keller, the first out gay character in the history of Archie Comics (about twenty to thirty years too late to be frank) has proved such a sales success in the Veronica comic book, that not only did he inspire the company’s first second printing of an Archie comic, but now has his own four…
Bluewater Producstion are best known for two things. Their biographical comic line, and their work-for-hire back end contracts… Well, next year they seem to be upping their fiction comics considerably. Including the headline friendly Mis-Adventures Of Adam West drawn by Lipe, the headline baiting Jailbait by Mary Jo Pehl and Adrian Rodriguez, about a team…
As seen on earlier Bleeding Cool posts, there are zombie hordes all across the world. And this morning they were outside Penn Station, trying to take a taxi – back to hell! Little Bleeder Alex Vojvodich was on the scene with a lens…
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…
