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,…
Don’t make him xenophobic. You wouldn’t like it when he’s xenophobic. Lou Ferrigno, better known as the Incredible Hulk, even better known as that guy who goes to every Wizard World (and, seriously, hasn’t everyone who wants a signed photo of themselves with the man got one by now?) has joined an Arizona sheriff’s armed…
The Coming Of The Teraphiles, the Doctor Who novel by Michael Moorcock. What could be better for collective geekdom than this ultimate mash-up of influence and importance? Well how about where it’s currently on sale at Amazon for £3.99, down from the retail price of £16.99. That’s more that three quarters off the cover price….
This is the label art from a new perfume created to benefit the comics industry charity HERO. Named Heroine, the perfume is made from Nepalese amber, East African patchouli, dark musk, apple blossom, petitgrain, aged leather, skin musk, and rhubarb. Mmmm, rhubarb… So either order online, or pop into you comic shore and ask f…
Tomb Of The Salamander Kings rewrites that last scene from Batman And Robin #16 using some very familiar words from another Batman And Robin comic. And it is glorious.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that federal judge Otis D. Wright has lifted the delay in the Siegel & Shuster Vs Warner Bros law suit over thereturn of copyright to Superman to the estates of his creators. Warner challenger the current delay and will now continue with its “information-gathering”, which basically means challenging Joanne Siegel, Laura…
Finally, it’s official: Robert Downey Jr. will not be appearing in Alfonso Cuaron’s space-thriller Gravity. This leaves Sandra Bullock alone in orbit and, I should think, in quite dire need of a new co-star before the project comes crashing down completely. Paging Johnny Depp…? Downey’s new project may well be How To Talk To Girls,…
The US will be treated to the Coen Bros. True Grit on December 22nd, while we in the UK are going to be kept hanging on a rope until January 14th. Hardly seems fair. And it’s no real compensation that our poster for the film is finally here, either. It’s not one half as striking…
GaimanWatch: Yes, why exactly did your husband tell Neil Gaiman that your son wanted to punch him in the face? “And my son — when we told him? He’s not much of a boxer either — never thrown a real punch in his life — but he didn’t hesitate. “Good,” he said, “he’s been warned.””…
Mr Moore isn’t one for the internet. So he’ll probably never see this. But maybe the feelings of goodwill may find themselves entering the ether and somehow affecting his day in a positive fashion. Maybe he’ll get extra mozzerella on his pizza. You never know. It’s been a pretty good year for the man. While…
It’s been nine years since Dennis Leary has appeared in a live-action feature film, though he’s lent his voice to the Ice Age series and had some success on TV in the interim. For his big screen comeback, Leary will be taking on the role of police captain George Stacy, Gwen’s father, in the new…
A few weeks ago, Bleeding Cool reported we’d received word that the famed Dragon Ball was returning to manga. However it took such a circuitous route from Japan, through Italy, over to America and back to Britain again that it seemed to get rather mangled in the telling. But it seems where there is smoke,…
Aaron and Mike from A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida, give their run through the new books. What’s hot, what’s hotter, what’s hottest! From Batman to Green Lantern, the lateness of Superman, Deadpool MAX, New Avengers, GI Joe and a Mark Millar book on time… and a sneak look at next week’s Walking Dead trade…
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…
