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,…
Youth minister Curt Hawn has sold his technology company DTI Global, serving law firms in Atlanta to fund the publication of a new comic book, Captain Salvation. Co-written with Christian camp counsellor Joshua Carpenter the books are drawn by artist Greg Waller, better known for his colour work on Avatar titles such as Doktor Sleepless,…
Considering Wong Kar Wai’s reputation for never – and I mean never ever – finishing a film, even going so far as to revisiting those released some years before (like Coppola or Lucas, I suppose), then I guess it comes as no surprise to see there’s not a single frame of footage from the movie…
There’s every chance you won’t know who Vernon Kay is. In the UK, he’s the host of All Star Family Forunes, in the US, he’s the host of Skating with the Stars. He’s a Bolton boy with quite a bit of housewife-tempting appeal. He’s not the sort of chap you’d immediately expect to be high…
It is for publishers/film makers Sequart. This year they have three books focused on Warren Ellis. In May we get Keeping the World Strange: A Planetary Guide, edited by Cody Walker and studying the work by Ellis and artist John Cassaday with essays by Timothy Callahan (Grant Morrison: The Early Years), Julian Darius (Improving the Foundations),…
Adverse weather conditions have led to severe delays for comics shipping this week in the UK. The DC books came over from America early, but that was all. Diamond Comics Distribution UK has shipped the DC books out early to stores, for sale on Thursday. It is expected that comics from Marvel, Image, Dark Horse,…
Mayank Khurana interviews Aabid Surti – Creator of Bahadur, the first Indian pulp hero for Bleeding Cool. What inspired you to create comics? Walt Disney! When I was a kid, around 8 years old (1943) when the Second World War was heading towards its climax, a mini train used to start from the docs of …
Having covered 2010 and 2009 quite nicely in the past, Michael Moran now looks forward to 2011′s roster of blockbusters for Bleeding Cool: Predicting the biggest films of any year is a foolhardy venture. The fortunes of a movie as it develops can turn on studio whim, the news agenda on release day, or even…
In the current issue of the Green Lantern comic, Geoff Johns has written some commentary to accompany the above image of Corps. member, Tomar-Re, as he’ll appear in the upcoming movie. I think he looks like David Bowie’s fish monkey bird.* We saw Mr. Re (is that right?) in the trailer, but this image is…
So the Batman franchise runner in Paris, France is an young man of Algerian Muslin descent. How did DC expect the blogosphere to react? Warner Todd Huston wrote; Unfortunately, readers of Batman will not be helped to understand what troubles are really besetting France. In this age when Muslim youths are terrorizing the entire country,…
Thanks to Epidemic Fun for this look at a few Marvel Minimates cosplayers from Dragon Con…
According to the Toronto Sun, Professor George Rigakos of Carleton University has created a four issue comic book based on the Communist Manifesto, in order to teach political and economic theory to students. The first book was released last week and has drawn international attention. Looks rather good doesn’t it? Although at 50 cents a…
DarkWatch: Howard Chaykin joins Neal Adams, Frank Miller and Paul Chadwick on Dark Horse Presents with Marked Man. GrantWatch: The Australian premiere of Talking With Gods, the Grant Morrison documentary, will be on the 28th of January at the Australian Centre Of The Moving Image. FloridaWatch: Teaching cartooning to kids. Since being a kid. Then,…
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…
