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…

Dear Sid Sheinberg, When Are You Going To Release My Film Brazil? Terry Gilliam
It’s Terry Gilliam’s 71st birthday today, so Criterion posted the following image to their Facebook page. That’s a full page ad that Gilliam took out in the otherwise spiderishly dense Variety after Universal refused to release his film Brazil in the United States.

BBC Release New Doctor Who Christmas Special Pics
I’m cut off from the internet, more or less. What I’m using at the moment is basically pedal powered. Still, there’s new Doctor Who Christmas special images, so I have to do something. And that something is pedal like Lance Armstrong. Did they have to be so hi-res? My legs are going to fall off.
Booster Gold Live Action Drama For SyFy
Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you that Syfy were commissioning a number of TV mini-series based on comic book properties such as Ghost Projekt and The Sixth Gun. But we didn’t expect one of their new projects to be DC Comics’ Booster Gold. A pilot script for a hour long series has been…

The Lost Superman Story. Literally.
Dan Fraga has posted to his blog eleven pages of pencils and a further nine pages of layouts for an unseen issue of Superman dating from 2003. Why is it unseen? Because while Dan has the art for the pages he’s posted, that is only because he scanned them in. DC Comics… lost the original…
Brian K Vaughan And Marcos Martin Working On New Creator Owned Comic
Mark Waid told us all that the inordinately talented and innovative Marcos Martin was leaving Daredevil. “Unfortunately, it was something that came up while we were working. He’s doing 4, 5 and 6.

DC Comics Fails Over Kindle App Availability
That’s the tweet sent out at the end of September, assuring people as the news streamed out that DC Comics were getting into bed with Amazon Kindle Fire, that they would be able to access these one hundred digital graphic novels on their Apple iPads, say.

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…
