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,…
You’ve probably seen a non-digital version of this game in magazines, and some online versions across the web, but Say What You See is the first iDevice version of the idea that I’ve seen. I’m telling you about because I’ve found it to be really rather addictive during my Xmas break… Here’s the basic idea:…
It’s that on-again, off-again Thor rumour that seems, finally, to have been locked down. According to a new report, Hawkeye will be making a cameo appearance in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor movie. Jeremy Renner’s casting in the role certainly took place early enough. If you think about when the other Avengers were clicked into place it was…
This morning I reported the following facts-and-a-falsehood about Terry Gilliam’s next film, The Wholly Family: Filming will take place in Naples between January 10th and 16th It’s based upon Eve Merriam’s poem The Wholly Family We can expect it to run around fifteen minutes Gilliam is currently casting American actors as the lead father, mother and…
BBC News is reporting that Danish police are saying that five suspected Islamist militants have been arrested for “planning a gun attack at the Copenhagen offices of a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in 2005″. Four suspects have been held in Demark, after raids on apartments in Copenhagen superbs, and one…
Thermochromatic paint apparently. And no it’s not quite a series of dark blobs moving around like mercury through a thin membrane in perfect symmetry. But it is rather spooky and would work well enough! All kudos to the creators. And thanks to Bill S for the link.
Flashpoint is the much hyped, much teased, upcoming Flash-related event by Geoff Johns. Thanks to John Babos of Comics Nexus for allowing us to reproduce his original piece on Bleeding Cool looking into the latest teases towards this storyline. In Time Masters: Vanishing Point #5 we get a few new clues. The most significant of…
I’m amazed enough that Chuck Norris is 70 years old – I’m sure I read on the internet somewhere that he aged at a quarter of normal human speed/was 450 years old/was the fifth replicant. Add to this astonishment his new Czech advertising campaign for a mobile phone company. I read about the ads on…
After two, much-lauded cel-style, hand animated drawn features, Belleville Rendezvous and The Illusionist, it seems that Sylvain Chomet is looking to shake it up a little for his next picture. What that picture will be, he says he doesn’t know, but he’s sure it will abandon pencil draftsmanship to be either filmed in live-action or…
So, what did we learn from the Demi Lovato/Avengers story of a few days ago? Well, at some point we learned that Demi Lovato is not going to be in The Avengers. But that’s not all. In Heat Vision‘s report on the Lovato non-casting there comes an underlying truth: there is a role, and she…
When the trailer is this short, it almost feels a shame to introduce it. Too late, I suppose. But I had to say something. I imagine everything else you could want to know is in the trailer itself or on the film’s IMDB page. I saw the film at Frightfest in August, and found it…
BBC America Trailer BBC America Teaser Trailer ITV Trailer ITV Teaser 1 ITV Teaser 2 And a whole host of new, unembeddable and quite brilliant mini-episodes featuring the time-travelling dinosaur-hinting crew to set you up for Primeval Series/Season 4, starting January 1st in the USA and the UK.
I’ll hand this over to Christos Gage, Jamal Igle, David Gallaher and Geoff Johns on Twitter, as part of a wider discussion on the future of comics, in the light of falling print sales and an inconsistent digital solution; Johns: Grocery stores could be a gateway to comic shops. It was for me. Anything to…
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…
