Aaron and Mike of A Comic Show want to help fix what’s wrong with the comics industry, they swear they’ll start a regular bombastic op/ed column here on Bleeding Cool.

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.

Legendary Comic Book Artist Gene Colan Has Died
Clifford Meth has reported that legendary comic book artist Gene Colan died last night at the age of 84. Colan is perhaps best remembered for his stylish, brooding work on Marvel’s 1970s Tomb of Dracula series, but the artist’s lengthy career spanned both titles and decades, beginning with Fiction House’s Wings Comics in 1944 and…
Thursday Trending Topics: Waiting For Captain America
While half the world argued about whether the Superman 712 incident happened over muslim content or kitten content (hint: never bet against Rich), the other half decided it was time to watch tv or see a movie. Or talk about them, anyway. The right half of the page was red hot today — interesting since…

Official Site For Pixar’s Brave Launches, Rocks Out On Bagpipes
What music could possibly play on the official site for Pixar’s Scotland-set folktale, Brave? Why, it’s none other than Scotland the Brave. Of course. The film’s score is going to be composed by Patrick Doyle – his first Pixar gig, and he’ll only be the fourth composer to score one of their features. I’m not…
First Footage From Farewell, My Queen
Previously, I said something like this: Benoît Jacquot has assembled an all-star cast for his adaptation of Chantal Thomas’ Les Adieux à la Reine (Farewell, My Queen). The names on his list work well as a survey of venerable European cinema actors: elder statesman Gerard Depardieu; in-demand young star in Lea Seydoux; yesteryear’s rising star, Virginie…
Mystery Big Numbers Page On eBay
It’s by Bill Sienkiewicz, but he has no recollection of it. An unpublished cover? An interior piece? Either way it’s Big Numbers. And it’s on eBay. For $2000. And I understand there may be more to come… In related news, Big Numbers writer Alan Moore has given an interview to The Big Issue. Singling out…
Julia Ormond Wanted For The Man Of Steel
Julia Ormond has been sent an offer to appear in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel as Lara, the mother of Kal-El. She’ll be joining Russell Crowe, who’s already been bagged to play Jor-El, the daddy.

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.

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

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…
