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,…
Obvious spoilers. No messing about, three episodes into Misfits Series Two and we know the identity of Super Hoodie. But who thought they’d really steal a play from Heroes to do it? Showrunner Howard Overman has been quite specific, we wouldn’t learn about what caused the storm that gave the Misfits, and much of the…
Seriously, this is as good as Guy Gardner joining the Justice League. From the new issue of Teen Titans #89 by JT Krul and Nicola Scott, a few as-little-spoilery-as-possible highlights. As well as Damian works in Batman And Robin, he works even better in Teen Titans.

Whatever Mark Millar’s big comics announcement was, it was meant to take place yesterday, from some US company – until he was told that this wasn’t going to happen on Thanksgiving, so it’s been pushed back till Monday. Tonight, however, Mark Millar and Frank Quitely had arranged to hold court in the new graphic novel…

Ridley Scott’s next film really does look like it will be the long awaited prequel to Alien. We know for sure that work is underway on the film’s designs, down at Pinewood, and what appear to be some concept illustrations have appeared at Scriptflags. These certainly look like the big Space Jockey we saw in the…

Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you that Karl Urban was Judge Dredd. We brought you the first shot of Judge Dredd. Now we bring you shots from the Cape Town Civic Centre, where they are filming, and making up a Mega-City One. First some regulations… A Mega-City One loading dock. Hmm. Looks like…
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…
