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.

First Trailer For Hot Action Thriller Sleepless Night
Frederic Jardin‘s high-concept action thriller Sleepless Night played at the Toronto Film Festival a couple of weeks back to enthusiastic response.

And Finally.. Reducing Justice League #1 To Sixteen Pages
Sean Neprud read Justice League #1 and thought it was a little… flabby. Decompressed where it didn’t need to be, Not using the pages to their maximum.

Warren Ellis Captured Ghosts To Screen During NYCC
Last year at New York Comic Con, I went to see the premier of the Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods documentary.

Trailer For Dead Island Videogame Is Going To Get A Movie Adaptation
So, how do you guys feel about another video game adaptation? Woah, woah, come back! Now just because video game movies don’t have the greatest track record, that doesn’t that they’re impossible to do right. Just that they’re impossible for Uwe Boll to do right. I have never played Dead Island, but from what I…

There’s a new Doctor Who miniseries coming our way in November. And by mini, I mean mini. Written by Steven Moffat especially for the full-series DVD and Blu-ray box sets of this year’s episodes, the five epsisodes of Night and the Doctor aren’t likely to run more than fifteen minutes between them (in fact, we…
Prometheus Gets A New Official Plot Description
20th Century Fox have updated their Prometheus Facebook page with a new blurb for the film. Still no mention of the Alien alien, but we already know about that stuff anyway.

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.

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…
