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,…
Disney/Pixar are very aggressively campaigning for Toy Story 3 this awards season. The dream is to get the film a Best Picture win. I have to say I’d be happy with that – it’s not the best picture of the year, but I doubt the Academy is about to recognise a better one. Nonetheless, there’s…
On January 1st there will be a special End Of Year Lying In The Gutters, which will also kick off the eleventh annual Rumour Awards. If you have you own nominations for Visual Of The Year, Swipe Of The Year, Poor Value Of The Year, Turning-Down-The-Beatles Award, Feud Of The Year, Twattish Decision Of The…
Since I joined Bleeding Cool in the summer of this year, we’ve been lucky enough to get a series of good, film-related interviews. Here are some of the best bits, with links back to the interviews in full. A few of these (Inception, Gulliver’s Travels, Love and Other Drugs) are from press conferences we attended,…
Go on then Little Bleeders, what is this? Thank you Little Bleeders! Mega Man it is! The Capcom character to get an Archie comic spinoff!
Mike Carlin, DC editor, who seemed untouched by all the announcements of late at DC Comics, neither promotion nor redundancy, is moving to California. Is this to Los Angeles as part of DC Entertainment in Burbank, or something else? As he updated on Facebook; Well… THAT was the end of an ear-ache!… an error?… aww,…
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: I went in to Gulliver’s Travels with few expectations and those I had weren’t high. One of my favourite novels since I was a little kid (it was even the subject of my thesis at University), I had some doubts about what Jack Black, aka Hollywood, would do to…
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: When four of the cast of Gulliver’s Travels (Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Billy Connolly and James Corden) gathered together to meet the press in London this December, it became clear what a job director Rob Letterman must have had on his hands, just to keep these guys under control….
It’s the tenth anniversary of Hot Toys. And they have an exhibition in Tokyo to celebrate. With some friends, old and new. Here’s a selection of pictures and videos from the event. And plenty more to come…
TweetWatch: “Oh dear. I sincerely hope the hotel cleaning staff didn’t browse the Neonomicon 3 on the bedside table” – Mike McGee “I see my name was misspelled in the credits of the THOR: Across All Worlds tpb from mighty Marvel. Some things never change.” – Erik Larsen “Just watched the return of Upstairs Downstairs…
I have a tendency to do silly things during the slow Christmas holiday period. Nothing like the Crimbo Lull to dull one’s brain, so I decided to pick the most harmless silly thing I could find to indulge in.I was given a beta key to play DC UNIVERSE ONLINE. I’m probably not the type of…
Appearing on Alan Carr’s Chatty Man this evening (the show will still be on as I publish this story, in fact), Mickey Rourke discussed his plans for a picture in which he’ll play Gareth Thomas, a Welsh rugby player who has made headlines for being open about his homosexuality. Here’s how the relevant exchange between…
Fables artist Mark Buckingham is drawing a variant cover to IDW’s new Doctor Who #1 in January. And an issue later in the run. But this isn’t either of them… it’s something from IDW called Doctor Who: Fairy Tale Life…
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…
