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,…
The world has been waking up to zombie hordes invading the capital cities and confronting morning commuters, to promote the Walking Dead TV series starting in the US this weekend and rolling out around the world shortly afterwards. To join in, in a virtual manner, click here… London: Athens: Johannesburg: Madrid: Munich: San Tiago: Mexico…
Apple have a vast supply of cash and no debt – so what to do? Well, I just had a vision of Steve Jobs as Smaug, on top of his treasure pile, but apparently that’s not the case, and the company is looking to spend. According to rumours sweeping Wall Street, Apple are considering a…
You may know him from drawing the first third of Chase Variant: One Shot Is All I Need from Image. But in Fenruary, Humanoids are publishing a full English translation of his graphic novel Legend Of The Scarlet Blades, 192 pages thick in full colour for $29.95 Seriously that’s something worth salivating over. The twisted…
Cary Elwes said that Yellow Submarine would be motion-capturing in April 2011, but David Tennant thought the film had “gone away”. To settle things, we now have word from the film’s director, Robert Zemeckis. He was questioned at Back to the Future anniversary promotion by Movief… Cinemat… er… the Moviefone movie blog, Cinematical. Though he…
After the rather overdue official announcement that the Star Wars trilogy are getting some spit, polish and “an extra eye” for a re-release in 3D, it’s looking like the Lucasfilm elves are going to follow through and dimensionalise the Indiana Jones Quadrilogy Anthology Tetralogy. Of course – there’s no official announcement yet, and Lucasfilm will…
Here’s the cover to tomorrow’s relaunch of Dandy as a weekly children’s comic anthology again. It features, as promised Harry Hill on the cover. The publisher DC Thomson promise a new strip written by the cover featured Harry Hill and drawn by Nigel Parkinson entitled Harry Hill’s Real-Life Adventures in TV-Land (Featuring Knitted Character) which…
Just in time for Hallowe’en, out comes Marvel’s Tomb Of Terror advertising on the cover 48 All-New Pages In Glorious Black And White with a price point of $3.99. With Man Thing, Werewolf-By-Night and Damian Hellstrom. And one Little Bleeder was happy to pick it up on that basis. However, on returning home, something seemed…
HarryWatch: Harry Hill with an old copy of the Dandy, photographed by Dandy cartoonist with the unwieldy name of Nigel Parkinson. Expect publicity today… NewsWatch: The media has descended on Superman: Earth One. Kudos to DC’s publicity team for this. Here are my favourite takes… “bearing more of a resemblance to Robert Pattinson from the…
Last month, Fox put down on paper their plans for a TV series based upon Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’ comic book series Locke and Key. Today, they’ve gone ahead and pushed the red button to get a pilot into production. According to Variety, the pilot script has been penned by Josh Friedman of Monkey…
Once upon a time*, I read about Brian Lynch’s plans for a Road Runner spin-off courtroom comedy. The premise was simple: a live action film with just one animated character, Wile. E Coyote, and he would be suing ACME for all of the hurt and pain they’ve caused him. I spent a good while digging…
If you’re looking for something to do this Sunday night in New York City and don’t fancy catching a movie, minigolf or slitting Heather Duke’s wrists open and making it look like a suicide, I’ve got a strong recommendation for you: the Very Heathers Halloween ball at Union Hall. They promise to combine the undead…
Here are videos 2 and 3 in the behind-the-scenes profile of Telltale Games upcoming Back to the Future spin-off. In the first (which is the second of all), you’ll meet the new Marty McFly; while in the second (which is actually the third) you’ll get a bit of an idea about the game’s plot, then…
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…
