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. 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…

Zack Snyder is not directing the 300 sequel-prequel, Xerxes, but he has co-written the screenplay, with Kurt Johnstad, basing it upon Frank Miller‘s upcoming comic. While Snyder is rather busy with Man of Steel, he has had a hand – and Deadline say a strong hand – in selecting a director for Xerxes. The first…
Sci-Fi Action In The Outback With Carey Mulligan And Gary Ross
It could soon be time for the people of Australia to put Carey Mulligan‘s face on their bank notes. Not only will she spending the summer in the country, shooting The Great Gatsby with Baz Luhrmann, she’s setting up a second gig, a film called Outback, not surprisingly set in the outback. I hope they…

On Saturday, 6-25-11, Darren Lynn Bousman completed post production on his new film, 11-11-11. It’s scheduled for release guess when.

Anansi Boys Headed Towards TV, More Details Of American Gods Series
I expect there are a lot of questions about the American Gods TV series because there’s going to be a lot of the American Gods TV series – we’ve been pledged six series of 10 or 12 episodes apiece; and because there’s a lot of American Gods fans, with a lot of curiosity between us….

After San Diego Hotels Rooms Sell Out – So Do The Hotels
The good news. No one needs to boycott the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego Hotel this year over its ownership by someone who financially supports anti-gay legislation.

Lying In The Gutters – 27th June 2011
From Invincible #51… So what’s been happening this week? Well, the Retailer Roadshow for DC has been rolling out across the country, basically saying the same stuff each time with a few minor variations that naturally grab the headlines.

Preview: Ultimates #1 By Jonathan Hickman And Esad Ribic
This is how The Ultimates returns, not with a bang but with loads of them. Previously one of Marvel’s premier brands, and a central influence on the Marvel Studios movie treatment of Iron Man, The Ultimates was tarnished rather, after Millar and Hitch left the book. And even Millar’s return didn’t bring the book the…

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…

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…
