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,…
Celsys Inc saw itself listed on Tokyo Stock Exchange’s second section at the beginning of the month. A big move for the startup company which specialises in providing software to manga publishers to put their comics onto mobile phones, with an ebook support infrastructure to boot. This is a sign of both the size, and…
A couple from Katy in Texas have been arrested for shoplifting comics books from Bedrock City Comics in Houston. Not that unusual, shoplifting is a common crime in the comic book industry. But this is something more. The local police are investigating a shoplifting ring, and rather than walking out with the latest Walking Dead…
QuesadaWatch: Is Joe unable to prevent the cancellation of his favourite Marvel titles? He tweets; Sorry about the TMA cancellation folks. For the record, I don’t make those decisions. That said, it’s a great and maybe back again someday. BoobWatch: Politics Daily celebrates a Spider-Girl without D cups. Maybe Spider-Girl creators took note of these…
The first film to arise from collaboration between Steven Soderbergh and Scott Z. Burns was The Informant!, a rather undervalued comedy about delusion and hubris; next up will be Contagion, a huge-scale thriller with a high quotient of dramatic material; and then, as per The Hollywood Reporter, they seem set for a hat-trick of team-ups…
Very poor. I had been looking forward, just a little, to David Gordon Green’s Your Highness but this trailer has done nothing but leave a very bad taste in my mouth. Some of the gags are literally just swearwords, another “funny bit” is people being scared and running for the edge of frame like Shaggy…
Here you go folks. Gimme some green… UPDATED: Now there are no subs and the video is in YouTube’s version of HD.
Curveball, coming in fast. And now stopping in mid-air. Now doing a dance and whistling. That is how unpredictable this news piece feels. Warner Bros. are looking to remake The Wizard of Oz and they really mean remake it. The plan, according to Deadline, is to actually use the script of the 1939 movie for…
This week’s second revisionist take on Romeo and Juliet comes from David Baddiel, some time stand-up comedy rock star of almost absurd fame. He’s to make his directorial debut, having previously written Josh Appignanesi’s The Infidel. Well – if I can call it that. Everybody just thinks of it as David Baddiel’s The Infidel. Take…
While the iPad may have introduced man to full screen digtal comics reading, as Jim Lee pointed out, many still enjoy the guided reading experience, zooming in on panels and making the story flow, that was popular on mobile phone readers. Well, ComiXology is announcing a new program to bring that experience to all digital…
Will Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood just feel like another Twilight? That’s certainly been a widespread assumption as the film has gone through production. Now, there’s a trailer and… well, I can’t see it putting the assumption to rest just yet. What’s with the repeated O-face expressions, Ms. Seyfried?* See the trailer at Apple for…
The latest clip from TRON: Legacy to be set free online has already been excerpted in the trailers, was part of both the SDCC and TRON Night footage and, for little old me, is already starting to feel a bit old, the jaded old man that I am. It features a bunch of impractically dressed…
Though I liked The Last Exorcism a great deal, I came away singing the praises of the talented cast and pot-stirring screenwriters Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland more than I did director Daniel Stamm. Of course, I’ve been most intrigued to find out more about what he’s got in the pipeline, and hopeful that he…
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…
