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,…
“…gone is the father of Kal-El” Written and sung by Michelle Osorio. See, definitely Christmas time when this sort of stuff starts happening. Anyone fancy giving us a rousing rendition of “Good King Wakanda?” Lyrics: Here’s the story of a dear father we know and his sacrifice made such a long time ago Jor-el Jor-el…
There are spoilers for Neonomicon #3 below. Neonomicon#3 leads off with an FBI interview as the crew tries to find their missing two agents, Brears and Lamper. And we get a peek into the double-layer that seems to be thematic in this series now. There are layers to reality in Neonomicon. In the prequel Courtyard…
Thanks to drinking partner Stuart Nathan for jumping on this from a BAE project leader. The BAE Future Projects Vehicles department has developed seven proposals for ground warfare solutions. These include remote-controlled armed robots, unmanned stealth scout vehicles, automated convoy systems and… the Raider, described as “a small, highly agile autonomous reconnaisance and attack vehicle…
Bleeding Cool covered reports regarding the warring factions of Frank Frazetta’s family in depth when Frank was alive, with differing family members competing for the right to monetise Frank’s work. This culminated in arrests for theft, night time vigils, accusations of kidnapping, and competing videos and websites. Before Frazetta’s death, there was a coming together…
This Christmas, the BBC have dared to risk a another Whistle and I’ll Come To You after Jonathan Miller’s classic late 60s iteration. The man in charge of this new version is director Andy de Emmony, sometime Red Dwarf and Father Ted director. I’m hopeful that his film will at least stand alongside Miller’s as…
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: In March 2009 it was confirmed that Anne Hathaway was attached to Get Happy, a film and stage play production of the life of Judy Garland based on a biography by Gerald Clarke. Producer Harvey Weinstein announced in the press release: We are thrilled to have the brilliantly talented…
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. Spider-Man and Cameron Crowe movies give L.A. production a jolt | Company Town | Los Angeles Times Sony began its 90-day…
You’ve waited long enough. Tomorrow in the USA and Canada and on Thursday in the UK, snow willing, comes the third part of Alan Moore’s final graphic novel (for now anyway) with Crossed‘s Jacen Burows, Neonomicon. If your shop is willing to stock it that is. Rape, torture and sea monsters. Not a pretty combination….
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: Variety has revealed that the scores of four movies will not be allowed to compete for the Best Score category at the Academy Awards in February. The movies in question are Black Swan, True Grit, The Kids are All Right and The Fighter. The scores of Black Swan (Clint…
I didn’t like the first trailer for Your Highness. I don’t like the second one either. You might love it, however, so here it is. I can’t imagine the high-quality version at Apple will be any more convincing.
Misse the live show? Don;t worry, you can always play catch up with Bleeding Cool and our handy dandy little bleeders Ismael Tirado on video and Farhan Sohail on camera… Part One Part Two
When the next Ice Age movie comes along in 2012, it will tell a tale set against the collapse of the single continent, Pangaea, into separate land-masses, as signaled by it’s subtitle, Continental Drift. It looks like the new Scrat short will provide the catalyst for this global event and, who’d have thunk it, the…
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…
