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.

Will Greg Capullo Jump To Batman Or Wolverine?
Greg Capullo, artist on Haunt and long time Spawn comics collaborator, looks like he’ll be jumping off his current Image title to the Big Two. Both DC and Marvel appear to be headhunting him, for either Batman or Superman on one side or Wolverine with Brian Bendis on the other. And he has to choose….
Diamond Book Distributors Resumes Selling Graphic Novels To Borders
Is this a show of confidence? Or one of desperation? Comic book publishers have been told that this week, Diamond will resume sending books to Borders. Before the bankruptcy announcements, Diamond had suspended all sales. However Diamond has told publishers that Borders are still not sending back returns, so this is still a precarious position….

DC Comics, Please Let Me Buy These Books For My Daughters
A few years ago, DC sent my daughters a box of DC-related stuff. The opening of which is one of our funnier videos as the eldest one, Eve, summarily dismisses most of the contents. Since then she has returned to some of them, but now I’ve found something of DC’s that I know she would…

Let’s take a quick trip through recent comic history through the power of old British TV shows about comics.

Thursday Runaround – Drop That Gin Bottle, Archie
SportsWatch: Jason Witten appears in Archie to combat underage drinking. Got to say, if I lived in Riverdale I’d have started even earlier.

Wednesday Trending Topics: The Burning Art Controversy
I knew this was going to be a controversial one when Rich posted it this morning. An artist friend of mine does this too and while I understand it, it kinda freaks me out as well. It is interesting to think about in the context of the creative process, though. Here’s what else people…
Forget The Rest Of The World, What Did The Red Hulk Do To The British Isles?

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. 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…
The Amazing Spider-Man Is Tidied Up A Little By An Official Blurb
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.

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…
