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,…
There’s been a few bits and pieces of Star Trek sequel business come to light today, and I want to try and put them all under the one umbrella. A small umbrella. Think Totoro. Badass Digest are reporting that Khan will most definitely not be the villain of the next Trek. Indeed, they actually provide…
Google News has just accepted Bleeding Cool into its bosom. So we may have a few new visitors to this site over the next few days. Be kind to them. For those intrigued by the site but unwilling to spend every moment pressing F5, subscribing to our Lying In The Gutters weekly e-mail gives you…
Tonight’s the night that Mark Gatiss’ personal History of Horror comes to a close on BBC4. Before I get on to praising it, I have a key criticism to get off of my chest. After the first episode dealt mainly with the Universal monsters and Val Lewton’s corner of RKO, all pictures originally shot in…
Tomorrow at the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hong Kong, the Houses Of Parliament in London, the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, Munich, the Prado Museum in Madrid, Rome, the Acropolis in Athens, Johannesburg, Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires, Sogia, Tallinn, Lisbon, Santiago, Mexico…
Mark Millar got an early start at DC Comics, working on books including Swamp Thing, JLA, Flash, Aztek and The Authority. Then he was headhunted by Marvel, said some heady things about Paul Levitz and that was that. And he once said that he was loyal to Joe Quesada over the big Marvel/DC divide and…
Bet you’ve missed me doing this haven’t you? Sarah Jane Adventures just broadcast the first part of the two parter, Death Of The Doctor, by Russell T Davies. 1. This Is A Children’s TV Show About Death So we have denial, we have mourning, we have the celebration of life, memories and friends that comes…
This is not a hoax. This is not a gag. This is not an imaginary story. The comic book currently being worked on by Rob Liefeld is called Zombie Jesus. Envisaging a zombie outbreak at the time of Jesus’s death. And Bleeding Cool are proud to show off the first three pages below. Is proud…
Haven’t had a lot of time lately, but decided to experiment with the format of the column a little. Now, instead of reading thousands upon thousands of words, you get to watch a wee animated video. With cute animals and stuff. This week, I consider the ongoing myth of New York City as a squalid…
Crank up the Bleeding Cool servers folks. This morning we received word that Shueisha Publishing Company of Tokyo has convinced legendary manga creator Akira Toriyama to come back and restart the Dragon Ball comics franchise. Dragon Ball (also known as Dragon Ball Z) is one of the most lucrative comic book franchises in the world….
He’s spent his years playing squat, bald, hairy characters. You’d have thought that CGI animation may have given Danny De Vito a new lease on life with a wider ranger of characters. You’d have thought wrong. USA Today report that De Vito has been cast as the voice of Dr Seuss’ The Lorax, in a…
Ok, it may be a parallel Earth Lois Lane. And it may be one in which she is Superwoman, the last surviving Amazon – after she killed her brethren – working in her secret identity as a journalist. But another difference between the two is that this Lois Lane doesn’t wear the pink underwear of…
It’s about time for Bleeding Cool to start the run up to its traditional (as in, for the second year) most comprehensive independent coverage you’ll find to the largest English language comics art festival in the world. Because ComICA 2010 from the Institute Of Contemporary Arts is on its way. The London Print Studio has…
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…
