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,…
This is The Bleeding Cool ComicChron Robot speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on. Dallas PD Enlists Mighty THOR to Bring Down the Hammer on Super Bowl Crime – Dallas News In a few months,…
Not long now until Julie Taymor’s Spider-Man musical is finally unveiled and one of the most curious, ambitious and hotly-debated pieces of pop culture in a rather long time will be laid bare for the fans and critics – I only wish I was going to be in New York to see it some time…
With a small suite of writers, Art Baltazar has created a new line for DC Comics and Capstone publisher, six new books based around the Super Pets. JE Bright, John Mason and Sarah Hines Stephens have written stories around the pets of the Justice League and villainous pets they must combat. Out in the New…
What, another Locke and Key post, already? Yeah. What about it? How often do we get talent lining up to adapt one of our favourite comics series to TV? Apart from Walking Dead? Deadline are reporting than Miranda Otto is “set” to appear in the upcoming Locke and Key TV show as Nina Locke, the…
The BBC have unveiled many specifics of their Christmas programming today, and amidst the details, published an official blurb for the special Doctor Who. Amy and Rory are trapped on a crashing space liner, and the only way The Doctor can rescue them is to save the soul of a lonely old miser, in a…
As Joe Hill’s comic Locke & Key is moving slowly through its second act, 20th TV are gearing up to begin their television adaptation. We already heard that Josh Friedman was writing the script for the pilot, and Deadline now report that Mark Romanek is negotiating to take the director’s reins. This would be Romanek’s…
Poor Whit Anderson. As the writer of the new, rebooted Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie she’s going to draw an awful lot of angry fire and I can’t really imagine what kind of screenplay she’d have to whip up to even crawl away, let alone walk unscathed, from the inevitable, barbed comparisons to Joss Whedon….
Disney buffs across the world are going crazy over a single comment published by The LA Times this weekend. Here it is: The studio’s Wednesday release of Tangled, a contemporary retelling of the Rapunzel story, will be the last fairy tale produced by Disney’s animation group for the foreseeable future. They were moved to make…

GREEN LANTERN trailer is out. ULTRAMAN ZERO trailer is out. Hmm… they’re amazingly similar. How are they different? ULTRAMAN ZERO trailer: E. E. Doc Smith’s LENSMAN series, the original inspiration for both GREEN LANTERN and ULTRAMAN. There were six novels in the series. There was even a LENSMAN anime movie in the 1980s: And now,…
Here’s a rapid roundup of some Green Lantern images to have made it online in the last few days – including what might well be our first look at the movie version of Parallax. Or not. First up, here’s a poster-type image that was released to support the trailer. You can click through on that…
Rowan Joffe’s debut film is another adaptation of the Graham Greene novel, Brighton Rock. I saw the picture at the London Film Festival where it was this year’s surprise film and seemed to go down fairly well. I’ll tell you specifically what I thought of it in the new year, but I’ll say this for now:…
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…
