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 loved Dark Horse Presents. Where I met all manner of comic book creators and their creations for the first time. Frank Miller’s Sin City, Eddie Campbell’s Bacchus, John Byrne’s Next Men, Paul Chadwick’s Concrete and so many more. And after a spot of time online, it’s returning to print in April, in an eighty…
Jim Lee talks to Tony Wolf of The Action Room at Midtown Comics for the signing of his Icons book celebrating his work for DC and Wildstorm.
I have the Bone One Volume, bought in San Diego years ago, that put me over my weight allowance on the way home. I never thought I’d need another copy of Bone. Hardcover, etched bound, gold leaf edging, what was not to love? In 2011, the twentieth anniversary of the first issue of Bone being…
Marvel’s Ryan Penagos has been tweeting teasey images to something or other that will fit together in a 3 by 3 grid to reveal something or other and will probably wait till the very last day for his/its face and name or what not. I wonder if it’s something to be afraid of?
Thanks to anonymous art leaker for putting these images up (and not artist Kevin Sharpe). And then for Shoryuken for keeping them up when they, um, wisely were taken down). Purported to be from the upcoming Marvel vs Capcom 3 comic book, they feature the likes of Galactus and Taskmaster who, we are to presume,…
The press release seems to have come just a couple of days late, missing the Christmas sweet spot by just a pine needle or two, but Joe R. Lansdale’s Christmas With the Dead will be headed to screens in time for the next winter solstice. Joe R. Lansdale’s what? Christmas With the Dead. The reason we’ve…
Already notorious for it’s ballooning budget, Falling Skies is also well known as the TNT show to reunites executive producer Steven Spielberg with stories about alien visitors. I understand this trailer has gone down well in US cinemas where it premiered on Christmas day. Today, it came online at The New York Post. The show’s…
Before we go on, just check your calendar. It’s December 27th, not April 1st. Now, knowing that, do carry on. LG have announced that Ennio Morricone is composing the ringtone music for their upcoming Optimus 2X mobile phone handset. As well as fifteen newly minted tunes, there will also be ten of Morricone’s classics from…
Next year will be the year of Natalie Portman – a husband, a baby, most likely an Oscar, Thor, No Strings Attached, Your Highness, Hesher and The Other Woman, formerly Love and Other Impossible Pursuits*. Here’s the newly unveiled poster for that last one, as premiered at Vulture. *Okay, the film will be first available…
Up above, once again, we see Michelle Yeoh, in the role of Burmese campaigner and politician, Aung San Suu Kyi. This image comes from L’Express, who have published some new quotes from Michelle Yeoh and director Luc Besson. One big revelation is that the producer Andy Harries and his wife, the screenwriter Rebecca Frayn, sent…
I’ve been tracking Juan Solanos’ film Upside Down for some time now, and have some tracking still to do before it completes post production and reaches screens in late 2011, perhaps 2012. Our first images from the film have arrived now, however, as a nice, early tease. The film’s premise is a variant on the…
If you have access to Hulu, you can watch the entirety of the Alan Moore documentary, The Mindscpe Of Alan Moore. If you haven’t, like me, you can’t. Sorry. UPDATE: And from Snag Films
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…
