The upcoming Warner Premiere and DC Entertainment release of The Dark Knight Returns has been a long time coming, though I believe you heard about it here first. Frank Miller and Klaus Janson’s comic has been divided into two films for this adaptation, the first of which will be released later this year, the second…

Joseph Glass writes for Bleeding Cool; So, this Sunday just gone, a question was asked at Kapow Comic Con in London; a convention that aims to be as big as the US conventions, but over in sunny old Blighty (though I did notice the sun pretty much eluded us this year). It’s a good show,…
At Kapow in London, during the Avengers Vs X-Men panel with Kieron Gillen, CB Cebulski and Joe Quesada, they showed off some upcoming Avengers Vs X-Men pages… one of which seems to show a certain Professor X returning for issue 6… We also got a teaser that Illyana and Black Widow will star in an…

I was wondering who the next person would be to take advantage of the distribution system that Our Love Is Real pioneered, select high profile retailers across the USA known for selling indie books targeted along with a clever marketing campaign and stepping out of the Diamond three month order system.
ComixTribe made a start with Red Ten, but seem to have stepped up with a new title distributed in this fashion.
Out next week is the first issue of Scam, a new comic by Joe Mulvey. And it’s already sold out of its 777 print run to select stores across the USA, with 40 copies reserved for its online store. Pitched as Oceans 11 meets X-Men with super villains teaming for one last casino job in Vegas, it’s also out before Mark Millar and Leinil Yu’s similarly conceived Supercrooks. It will also be available digitally from Graphic.ly, DriveThruComics, MyDigitalComics, and Wowio, and a second print made available for February 15th.
A five issue series from creator owned publisher ComixTribe behind The Red Ten and The Standard, stores have received store branded or exclusive variants depending on how many they ordered. Here are the stores in question, and the cover they have exclusivity on for a month.

Yesterday, Fox News decided to suggest that because DC have plans to reintroduce one of their iconic characters to the New 52 as a gay man, that meant that Superman might be gay. Today, the closest (and I originally mispelt that as “closet”) thing the UK has to Fox News, the Daily Mail does the…
