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,…
I’m not sure there’s such a thing as guilty pleasure this side of, you know, the lifestyle choices of Alex and his Droogs. Having said that, I’m not sure my enjoyment of Drive Angry 3D will be directly proportional to its quality. I’m sure it will be a perfectly fine popcorner churner, but I’ve had…
Here’s the headlines, based on DC Comics solicitation information for new monthly comics for March (minus the reprint, licensed, creator-owned and Vertigo titles). Despite the drop of $2.99 titles to 20 pages, the price per page for collecting the DC Universe has risen slightly. It is possible that Marvel may be providing a better price…
I can’t see official MGM announcements being our best source of James Bond info for sometime yet. As they line up their finances and try to get their little green-backed ducks in a row, there’s bound to be a lot of movement behind the scenes that we’ll only be finding out about through leaks and…
Don’t get too carried away – Claudia Winkleman and Danny Leigh aren’t about to be ousted from the Film Programme sofa. While Barry Norman’s BBC comeback isn’t going to see him returned as the nation’s premier movie critic, it’s going to give him a couple of slots on Radio 4. They sound like an interesting…
Need a new T-shirt? Need a new mousemat? Just want some Little Fockers labelled bits and pieces? Then today is your lucky day. Read on… To celebrate the release of Meet The Parents: Little Fockers (at cinemas December 22, cert 12A) we are offering you the chance to win one of 10 Meet The Parents:…
Oh, joy. Not only is there progress being made, and money being spent, on the big-screen adaptation of Da Vinci Code sequel The Lost Symbol, the next draft of the screenplay is going to be written by a man who has never penned a movie before but who has already delivered a series of turgid, exhausting…
It’s only been a few years since Paul Levitz was so disgusted with the way The Boys portrayed superheroes that he cancelled it, and let Dynamite take over publishing the book – only for it to become their best selling title, and selling far more than equivalent DC Comics in the process. Well, Paul’s gone…
Last month, Kate Atherton attended a press conference for Love and Other Drugs on behalf of Bleeding Cool: When Anne Hathaway was asked in London last month if she had any fears that her new film Love and Other Drugs might remind audiences of Love Story, she revealed that, “I was more concerned that people…
TweetWatch: On Pat Lee… “ridiculous…this guy owed me almost 5k” – Marcelo Matere. DADTWatch: JH Williams on Batwoman: “Now to figure out what this may mean for Kate Kane, we’ll need to acknowledge this in some way, but properly in the plot, much like the policy’s enforcement affected the plot for Batwoman’s origin. Like it…
Here are two pages from next month’s Jennifer Blood #2 from Dynamite. Oh, and the Tim Bradstreet cover. Look, she’s got a gun. You can find a preview of issue 1, here.
Felix Ruiz is an artist who owes a fair bit to the work of Bill Sienkiewicz. For example, this from Uranian. Quite Bill-ish, yes? But he won’t leave it there… he even signs his work “Sienkiewicz”. Take a look. Now I have received assurances that no, Felix Ruiz is not Bill Siekiewicz slumming it on…
So,who wants to buy a comic store? Here’s an email sent to me – sadly, I don’t have the money. And Chicago is a hell of a commute. So… anyone else fancy taking them up on their offer? Brainstorm Movies, Comics and Gaming, located at 1648 W. North Avenue is up for sale. Since 2003…
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…
