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,…
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is to be the fourth collaboration between actor Mark Wahlberg and director David O. Russell after Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees and The Fighter. And, while we’re counting, I’m prepared to bet it will be the first video game movie to really be worth bothering with. Wahlberg revealed his casting to MTV,…
Canada Reads, a popular Canadian book club radio programme on CBC has been running a vote for “the essential Canadian novels of the past decade” and has announced its final five. And Jeff Lemire’s Essex County is amongst them. Probably better known now for Vertigo’s Sweet Tooth and DC’s Superboy, it may well be that…

Beware folks. There be spoilers for children’s fantasy series The Sisters Grimm by Mark Buckley within. And if there are also spoilers for not-children’s fantasy graphic novel series Fables… well isn’t that just a coincidence too? In Sisters Grimm, storybook characters are real and have migrated to the US and live in their own enclave….
Developments such as the dawning realization that the mainstream movie-going audience probably doesn’t realize that there is more than one Green Lantern have served as the latest reminder that our corner of the world is pretty convoluted if you don’t live your life hip deep in it like some of us do. And even if…
Michael Moran writes for Bleeding Cool: George Clooney is the modern age’s closest equivalent to Cary Grant. Handsome, charming and as smooth as a buttered Nigel Havers he’s the housewives’ heartthrob that men think it’s OK to like. But, like dear old Archie Leach, he’s not often to be found in a straight action flick….
The upcoming $3.99 four issue Ultimate Comics Captain America, will be made available digitally on the Marvel App the day the comic ships in print in the USA and the day before it ships in the UK (just for the first issue, the UK catches up with the US in 2011) It joins Ulimate Comics…
Bleeding Cool printed the image previously. Well the Millarworld crossover thing is actually three variant covers for Mark Millar’s three Icon titles, drawn by Superior‘s Leinil Yu. The covers will be available on Nemesis #4, Superior #4 and Kick-Ass 2 #2. Retailer orders for each are restricted to one copy for every ten normal issues…
Though Oly Ralfe was not available to speak to me about his Mighty Boosh documentary, Journey of the Childmen, he did answer some questions by e-mail. His answers were very brief, so I feel they’re best presented in full like this. BC: The film shows a fictional version of where Noel gets his ideas from,…
NewsWatchWatch: Rupert Murdoch wanted to call his new iPad newspaper The Daily Planet – until DC Entertainment objected. So The Daily it is… for now. GoodSideWatch: Teeside model Ian Lochrie gets press for being the model of upcoming graphic novel Marie’s War. This is The Bleeding Cool ComicChron Robot speaking. I come for your women….
When I saw the first poster for Tim Hill’s Hop, I was left somewhat unconvinced that the rather sweet looking bunny character it revealed would prove a good match for Russell Brand’s particular, peculiar twist on the Essex accent. When I hear him yammering on, amusing as it can be, I don’t find that it exactly conjures…
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: Interest in Jerry Bruckheimer’s resurrection of 1950s’ icon The Lone Ranger has largely focused on whether Johnny Depp will don the headdress of Tonto. Depp’s availability is still not certain but production took a step forward today with Deadline‘s confirmation that Gore Verbinski is set to direct the film…
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…
