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,…
We said the London Super Hero Comic Con would have trademark problems… Mark Millar has launched the KaPow Comic London, scheduled for April next year. Guests include John Romita Jr, Frankie Boyle, Leinil Yu, Dave Gibbons, Frank Quitely, Mark Millar, Bryan Hitch, Olivier Coipel, Stewart Lee, Kevin O’Neill, Paul Cornell, Noel Clarke, Steve Dillon, Mike…
CartoonWatch: From Piraro… DukeWatch: 40 Years Of Doonesbury – the original art from the strip displayed at Blaine Mansion. Demoralized, the young Trudeau confided his frustrations to his fledgling syndicate’s founders, who over drinks comforted their dispirited talent with a simple two-word reassurance about graying publishers and aging, out-of-touch editors: “They die.” As the room…
Here you go folks. The trailer for Superman XXX: A Porn Parody from Vivid and Axel Braun…
I’m programming this story to go live at the exact moment Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark begins its first preview on Broadway – 6.30pm in New York City. The show has never been rehearsed in full so, if all goes well, this will be the first top-to-bottom performance of the super-ambitious production. Some thirty minutes…
An early doubts I had regarding the RED One digital camera evaporated entirely when I saw Steven Soderbergh’s Che films, and since that moment I’ve been a real fan of RED’s technology, and of the cinematography we’ve so far seen delivered with them. Peter Jackson has been a real big supporter of RED and was…
UPDATE: The Danish version of the trailer is in English, so here it is. ORIGINAL STORY: Here’s a new trailer with plenty of new footage from Gulliver’s Travels but, just so you know, I have to tell you that it’s been dubbed into Spanish. If yon’t don’t speak the language, just look at the pictures…
Well he does have the beard for it. According to the Northampton Chronicle, Alan Moore is using the profits from his Dodgem Logic magazine to donate three hundred Christmas hampers to Northampton residents living in sheltered housing located in Spring Boroughs, the area he grew up in, and to the Northampton homeless drop-in centre through…
Some videos for your Sunday afternoon viewing pleasure. There’s a viral video for the A-Team on Blu-ray that’s in a similar vein to Adam and Joe’s Toytanic or Toy Trainspotting. This all-CG commercial for Silestone Kitchens is impressive stuff, and has this week provoked a debate in New Scientist as to whether the animator or…
This was the solicited cover for Betty & Veronica #251 from Archie Comics. An innocent visual by Dan Parent of, um, two young women in bikinis, in high heeled stilettos and knee length boots in the snow. Hmmm. Anyway, in the issue about to be published, there has clearly been an influx of good taste,…
Bleeding Cool has been informed that the online whistleblower site WikiLeaks is preparing to reveal the secret identities of superheroes worldwide. The controversial website has had a history of releasing confidential documents, often embarrassing to their subjects, and has been criticised for exposing US troops to danger. Well now it seems they are targeting the…
WerthamWatch: The Washington Post remembers the days of the comic book censors in relation to current proposed video game legislation. An estimated 90 percent of children 8 to 13 then read 10-cent comic books, of which scores of millions were sold weekly. The worry du jour was juvenile delinquency. NotDoingSupermanWatch: From Deadline, Ben Affleck; The…
A new european webcomic publisher will be unveiled at the Angoulême comic arts festival in 2011. It’s called 8 Comix and uses an eightball as a logo. Their focus seems to be publishing high profile, original works, for free. This includes the latest Jason book, Isle Of One Hundred Thousand Graves written by up and…
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…
