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,…
From the confusingly titles Midtown Comics Downtown in New York at noon today, New York Mayor Bloomberg, Spider-Man and Joe Quesada campaigning on the unemployment measures coming out from the city and highlighted in the Spider-Man propoganda sheet inserted free into copies of the New York Daily today. Sadly, the comic chose not to tackle…

Adapted by cartoonist…
McGee’s, an Irish American bar in Manhattan, famed for being one of the main inspirations for the bar in How I Met Your Mother (the other one has been turned into a bank). But it’s also one of the main comic book industry watering holes and is fast becoming the place to find out who’s…
It’s been a long time coming. Decades since it first made the cover of Variety. But now, Cowboys & Aliens is actually made, with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford from Jon Favreau. And here’s the teaser trailer to prove it…
Pete Hogan is the writer of the Tom Strong mini-series for ABC/Wildstorm/DC Comics/Whatever it will be soon. In an interview to coincide with the final issue of Tom Strong And The Robots Of Doom. He confirms the Bleeding Cool story about another miniseries from him and Chris Sprouse, Tom Strong And The Planet Of Peril…
Tony Scott’s take on the runaway train subgenre is Unstoppable, a film loosely based upon real events that saw a train run wild on the tracks of Cleveland. And I mean loosely. The film’s second-billed star is Denzel Washington, and Bleeding Cool were lucky enough to talk with him recently about the film, and other…

The best comic books published in the world (thoughusually published in French), as chosen by the organisers of the largest comic book convention in the world. The prizes will be drawn from this list, presented at next year’s Angoulême show will be from the 28th to…
Bleeding Cool has reported previously on the size and scope of Disney’s operations in Italy, publishing comics. Well, Disney Italia has started a fun initiative – custom made Disney comics at bargain prices. Select your stories, select a cover and write a message to appear on the front. And they’ll print and send the comic…
Bleeding Cool mentioned that there might be a little more demand for this comic than retailers may have initially considered. I understand that, even though 27, the new Image comic from Charles Soule and Renzo Podesta, a fantasy about musicians and artists who died at the age of 27, won’t ship until the first week…
Okay this feels slightly sickening. An unemployed Peter Parker bumping into New York Mayor Bloomberg who, watch out for the sick feeling in your mouth “who tells him about the free job training and placement services available through the city’s Workforce1 Career Centers, helps to put him on the right track” It;s a giveaway in…
Arturo Garciato writes for Bleeding Cool; The first thing I can tell you is, this wasn’t nearly as hard to get into as the SDCC ’09 panel – you remember that one, Rich, with the extra-sized line outside the Convention Center before 7 a.m. My two friends and I arrived at the queue outside CBS…
Go on, have some pretty pictures… Marvel Pinball, a paid expansion game…
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…
