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,…
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: During publicity for her latest release, Love and Other Drugs, Anne Hathaway told the LA Times that she’s ready to take a break from romantic comedies (“I think I’ve exhausted that muscle”) and insists instead that she wants to fly a spaceship. “And I want to shoot a laser…
That Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law can get their faces knocked up a bit but Noomi Rapace will stay unblemished and unbruised. That Rapace’s character is running with Holmes and Watson, most likely also in the sense that she’s “on their side”. That she sees fit to hold Holmes’ arm as they run. That…
I’m a subscriber to the Weinstein Co.’s quasi-spam e-mail that thrusts itself upon my inbox every time there’s a new bit of Bob and Harvey infused PR to be hammered home. The latest message has arrived, a few minutes back, and beyond all of the been-there, seen-that Scream 4 business, it also contains a poster…
It doesn’t seem that the upcoming Back to the Future point-and-click adventure from Telltale Games is designed to give gamers much trouble, but instead to provide a fun experience and a nice extension to the series. Most of the plot is being kept under wraps, but some new pictures and an interview with the game’s…
Another week, another run through tomorrow’s comics with Aaron and Tri-Force Mike from A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida. And this week they share the love for X-Force, Amazing Spider-Man, Action Comics, Batman And Robin, Damian leading Teen Titans, Batwoman, The Walking Dead, Ex Machina, Fire Breather and some Thanksgiving love…. #1. UNCANNY X-FORCE 2…
The eyes, the eyes… my eyes, my eyes. Here’s the first trailer for Simon Wells’ Mars Needs Moms, loosely adapted from the Berkley Breathed book of the same name. We’ve talked about it before. Truth be told, I’m excited about performance capture as a storytelling tool and I’ve liked all of the films that Mr….
The first Grandville book, a steam punk romantic anthropormophic thriller, starring a badger halfway between Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, has been followed by Grandville Mon Amour, currently going through a “soft launch” and available in bookshops shortly. But before most people get a chance to buy the second, Bryan Talbot has announced his third…
I could have been at a screening of Tangled today. Well, almost. But I wasn’t. And it’s a sore point. That (presumably wonderful, just-out-of-reach) film is Disney’s 50th full length animated movie, and to celebrate this milestone, the mousemasters will be collaborating with the BFI on a special season to run throughout 2011. Starting on…
On November the 11th, Bleeding Cool reported the story that there is to be a new Transformer toy called Spastic. In which we pointed out the different cultural contexts of the word in the USA and in the UK. It got a lot of hits, a lot of retweets, a lot of attention. Nice. Job…
Mayank Khurana writes for Bleeding Cool. India is a country of diversity. Consider this: India is the seventh largest country by geographical area and second largest by population (approx 1.1 billion people). It is the world’s largest democracy. It is a country where language (22 National Languages and 843 regional dialects) and culture changes drastically…
Thanks to Rick Veitch and Andy Khouri for spotting this one; the “kirby dots” pattern… and an image of anti-matter atoms of antihydrogen, as just recently created at CERN. Will this now be part of the Anti-Life Equation? In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They…
From The Brave And The Bold TV series, a Huntress credit for ex-President and Publisher of DC Comics, Paul Levitz. Printed creator credits for such characters are often a hard fought prize, usually involving lawyers rather than respect for creators. Its the reason Bob Kane is always credited for Batman and Robin, where Bill Finger…
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…
