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.

Tim Minchin On Revolting Rhymes, Rosencrantz, Witches, Psychic Children And Coaching An Orchestra To Play “F**k The Pope”
Tim Minchin is best known for his enormously successful career in musical comedy, including a recent stint as host of the BBC Comedy Promenade Concert, but he has also dabbled in the world of films and that’s as good an excuse as any for a Bleeding Cool interview.

Mid-Ohio Con vs. Wizard World: Mid-Ohio Ohio: Who Won? (A Completely Subjective Analysis By Dirk Manning)
Dirk Manning writes for Bleeding Cool when he’s not doing a million other things.

Which is the same weekend as rival comic con organizers, Reed Expo’s C2E2 in Chicago. Wizard World originally…

So, what is Rob Granito up to? The art swiper and biographer bloater came to fame after a number of Bleeding Cool articles saw him confronted at conventions and eventually hounded off the internet.

Grim Night Teaser Sets Up A Spooked Out Sci-Fi World
Some of the most beloved sci-fi and fantasy films are cherished for their creation of interesting, intriguing or exciting other worlds.

Yesterday a copy of the Hastings cover variant to the Star Trek/Legion Of Superheroes crossover from IDW sold for over $75 on eBay. Yet there are still copies on the shelves of many Hastings for cover price. So if you live near a Hastings… feel free to take advantage of those who don’t.

Star Trek star Zoe Saldana has revealed that she’s super-excited about JJ Abrams‘ forthcoming sequel to Star Trek, which will begin shooting in mid-January.

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…
