Jim Lee’s Hidden Tribute To Carla
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.

Swipe File: Joker Vs Quackerjack
No sooner are Boom embroiled in a trademark battle over the use of the word “Kaboom” in a comics publishing context, than they may have a battle with DC on their hands… okay, no, not really, this is the “homage” thing that few people have an issue with, though some publishers may choose to pay…

This is an illustration for the upcoming anniversary issue of Comics Revue #300, drawn by George Perez, feauturing a plethora of classic comics characters.

The backstory of my favourite Chinese sleuth is to be fleshed out in a prequel to Tsui Hark’s Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame. According to Hark, the film will recount another mystery story and reveal how Dee built his lofty reputation as the Empire’s greatest detective. Hark’s current production, The Flying…
The Bourne Legacy Won’t Have Bourne – But Who Will It Have?
Tony Gilroy is deep in prep for The Bourne Legacy, his Bourne-less Bourne spin-off.* While there’s no Jason, and therefore no Matt Damon, there will be a young male lead, and he’ll be up to similar hijinks. One of the key tasks is the casting of this action man, and Deadline have run a list…

New Sherlock Viral? Or Something Geekier?
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…
Frank Miller Redraws The Dark Knight
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu.

Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series
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…
The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
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…
Warner Bros. Nix ElfQuest Movie, Pin Blame On The Hobbit
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…
