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,…
A long-time Terence Davies nut, I’m already geared up for his next picture, Deep Blue Sea. All the better to tease me, and to celebrate tomorrow’s end of production on the film, Artificial Eye have released the first official image from the film. Here it is. That’s Tom Hiddleston and Rachel Weisz as a pair…
Keith Davidsen writes for Bleeding Cool. If you’re a Little Bleeder, you’ve heard the name David Lapham quite a lot. As one of the most distinct voices in the comic book business, he’s worked on such groundbreaking, gritty works as Stray Bullets, Young Liars, Detective Comics, Terror Inc., and DeadpoolMAX. His latest completed work was…
Doesn’t this look interesting?
I understand from a number of impassioned pleas by Vertigo creators that there has been a major contractual change instigated at Vertigo. And indeed I’m now told it will apply to all new creator owned series at DC, Vertigo or otherwise. The most recent model saw creators working on a relatively lower page rate than…
So, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell legislation has been repealed in the US, members of the armed forces will no longer be dismissed because someone discovers they are gay. But in all the political punditry, tweet wars and column inches, has anyone thought to find out what the comic creators think? Bleeding Cool did just that!…
BatWatch: WanderingBert drawing every Batman villain in existence. In his own unique style… ComicsThatShouldExistWatch: SpasticWatch: Bleeding Cool ran the “Transformer called Spastic” story earlier in the year, which it seemed almost all UK media followed up on. And it looks like Hasbro are still at it, with Transformer Strafe being described on the packaging as “Other AUTOBOTS…
We already knew that the Toy Story story is over but not really over. While chapter 3 appears to have closed the book quite conclusively on the the feature film franchise, a series of spin-off shorts have been announced for the next few years. The first of these, it has been confirmed, will be attached to…
Don’t think Kenneth Branagh was the right choice for the Thor gig? How about Christopher Ray? Would he be a friendlier proposition? He is Fred Olen Ray’s son, you know… Announced at last month’s AFM was a truly inevitable production by the name of The Almighty Thor. What, not 1472: The Almighty Thor? The movie comes from…
It is considered one of the defining moments of the Marvel Universe: a dejected Peter Parker throwing his costume in the trash, attempting to leave his life as Spider-Man behind. The splash page of this pivotal moment from the classic 1967 tale written by Stan Lee and drawn by John Romita for Spider-Man #50, an…
Recently, the East Bay Express ran a profile of local store, Comic Relief in Berkely, California, and its imminent doom. The paper interviewed current store manager Chris Juricich . But lately, the Berkeley store has been hemorrhaging customers. Juricich blames cash-flow problems, which caused Comic Relief to temporarily lose its distributor, Diamond. As of right…
WorldWatch: Eco Comics push their new line of digital comic books as “eco friendly”… PronounciationWatch: Fighting over sherbet. Within the first paragraph of the speech, I used the word “awry.” I’d seen the word used in print for years (and by print, I mean Marvel Comics), but had never heard it spoken. In my head…

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…
