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,…
And so Comic Con International: San Diegio have closed registration again after, for the second time, the whole computer system crashed. Epic, the company handling the online registration tell me that it’s Comic Con’s fault, they are unable to handle the amount of registrations that Epic are sending to them – but evidence is that…
From the any-excuse-to-try-and-get-some-unit-sales Black Friday nonsense in the US that has, despite the UK not celebrating Thanksgiving Day, has started to infect our markets as well… a little superhero apparel, with up to 75% off the listed prices. We will update this post with any more relevant bargain busting spots… BATMAN Logo Knit Boxers in…
Bleeding Cool ran the word back in July, but it’s now been confirmed and scheduled. Jimmy Carr, one of the most popular and ubiquitous stand up comedians in Britain, will be writing a serialised comic book for Mark Millar’s CLiNT magazine, starting in the issue out towards the end of January. Jimmy Carr, probably best…
Ticket sales for Comic Con International: San Diego 2011 are open. The four day (with preview night) sold out at last year’s show (which means now the only way to get into Preview Night at the show is to attend the previous show) and Four days for $105 full price, or single days for $37…
Ahead of The A-Team‘s release on DVD and Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy triple in the UK next week (the US DVD and Blu-ray aren’t out until mid-December), here’s a preview clip from one of the special features on the disc. Visual effects supervisor James E. Price will talk you through the basics of how some of the…
It was one of those oddities I came across a couple of years ago. Most people who have heard of Green Lantern, think he’s black. When I say “most people”, I’m not talking comic readers. Comic readers are not most people. And, indeed, most people have never actually heard of Green Lantern. But of those…
This Friday, Machete finally makes his way to UK cinemas. To herald his arrival (as if the explosions and screaming wouldn’t be enough of a tip-off), here’s a new interview package* with Robert Rodriguez, Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba revealing, amongst other things, the origin of the already-immortal catchphrase “Machete don’t text”. I…
This is what happens when upu mess with a comics arts festival. It up sticks and moves across town. Issues with the Institute of Contemporary Art have seen the annual ComICA festival drop those capitals to become plain old Comica and relocate its main stage to the London Print Studio in West London, well away…
I’m back. Did you miss me? No? LoserWatch: Andy Diggle goes off The Losers a bit. The dust still hasn’t settled on exactly how I feel about that, some stuff I love about it, and there’s some stuff that’s cringeworthy… They got a fantastic cast for The Losers, they really cast for the part… I’m…
When Warner Bros. halted the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 3D, opting instead for the vanilla, one-eyed presentation of the picture, I was sure that it was only a postponement. There was so much work already done, at expense and with, I understand, a lot of care – so…
If you’re one of the devoted TRONites keenly awaiting the December 17th release of Joseph Kosinski’s sure-to-be-huger-than-huge TRON: Legacy, then we’ve got some very good news for you. There’s a screening in London on December 2nd that Disney and Bleeding Cool want to invite you along to. That’s over two weeks lead time on the full…
No sooner has the rumour that the new Batman movie Dark Knight Rising will be based on Prey, the Doeg Moench/Paul Gulacy five parter story from Legends Of The Dark Knight #11-#15, than eBay sits up and takes notice. Previously a very cheap comic, with issues rarely selling for more than 99 cents, a collection…
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…
