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,…
The recently released Mel Gibson audio recordings, in which the shamed actor said all of those… those Mel Gibson-y things to his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, were leaked to the world via Radar Online. Other than that, I’ve no idea if the site is a reputable source for insider scoops and industry rumours or not. Maybe…
Marvel have already announced that both Ultimate Comics Captain America and Ultimate Comics Thor will be day-and-date digital comics, made available digitally on the morning the comic sees print, ET time, and the day before the UK (although that’s to change in a coupel of weeks.) Well it looks like all the Ultimate books will…
Aaron and Mike from A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida return with an end of year video. Looking at this week’s comics including Batman: The Dark Knight and why it will always be late, the brilliance of Damien in Teen Titans, the lack of Green Lantern in Green Lantern and a Spctre without a goatee,…
This new Image comic shouldn’t retailer underordered, due to the gorgeous painted artwork, but you never know, Created over eight years by Hoang Nguyen, Khari Evans, Paul Gardner, Mike Kennedy and Kinsun Loh, the first issue of Carbon Grey will be out in March. It’s a nobility battle between sisters over some Eastern European country…

We told you about Paul Chadwick’s Concrete and Frank Miller’s Xerxes being in the new Dark Horse Presents earlier today, then Neal Adams’ Blood. And now we’ve got two pages from said Concrete story for our hard work..
You know those smaller, weirder titles from Image Comics that retailers don’t order enough of and before you know it are suddenly on the retailer’s back wall marked up to $25? Well, here’s your new shiny shiny bright new hole in your comic book collection if you don’t get your retailer to order it for…
Bleeding Cool only just told you that a Dark Horse Presents revival even existed. Now we’re telling you that Neal Adams’ new series Blood will debut in the first issue in an eight page story. Adams says “Blood is a nasty guy. He’s a cop, sure, but a very nasty piece of work. He will…
The San Diego Comic Con entrance passes use a specific coded entry system on badges, scanned on entrance and repeat scanned through the show. Forged tickets are hard to get away with – but not impossible. However just photocopying your own entrance badge and selling the copies on Craigslist isn’t going to work. Especially when…
The National Film Preservation Board annually add 25 new films to their list of “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” works. While it’s nice to imagine a vault of these works, with fifteen-foot walls of concrete, it seems that this library of greats is more of a conceptual one. In theory, though, these are the films…
BabushkaWatch: All the Doctors all inside each other, courtesy of Molly23 on Twitter. GambleWatch: Bet US names The Invisible Woman as 1:1 favourite to die in the upcoming Fantastic Four. They also list The Thing at 100:1. Do they have some kind of inside information here? Or are they looking at The Thing appearing on…
Presumably, Americans need to be marketed at in a different way to Britons, as they had their very own Doctor Who promotional clip this Christmas. If you’re in the US, you can find it on the BBC America site; if you’re not, like me, then you simply turn to YouTube. I hope we do get…
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…
