John Rozum recently talked about his problems as writer of Static Shock, citing that he was hardly writing the book, the actual work being split between artist Scott McDaniel and editor Harvey Richards, which is why he chose to walk off the book with issue 4, not wanting his name to be associated with work…
The Darkness #100 is on its way… And this is the first you’ll have seen of the Todd McFarlane (above), the Michael Golden (below) and the Marc Silvestri retailer incentive (further below). 48 pages for $4.99 US, it’s out the last day of February. But since the Darkness II game comes out today, it seems…
It was the recent ICV2 interview with Marvel Senior Vice President-Sales David Gabriel that did it. Answering a questionnaire with no followups, he managed to dodge some questions by answering different ones, and throw some googlies at the opposing team. But he’s hardly alone in this, DC’s Executive VP-Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood…
Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…
Welcome to Occupy Comics. Some of the biggest names in independent and mainstream comics have come together for a social-networking funded comic book anthology to tell the story of the Occupy Wall Street protest that sidesteps the 24 hour news media’s desire for sensationalism. The money raised will pay the creators for their work –…
In January, Avatar will publish a new colour edition of Atmospherics, a graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Ken Meyer Jr about an alien abductee – or a serial killer. In addition to the color softcover edition, there’s a hardcover edition that’s limited to only 1,000 copies – and each of these individual copies has…
As of December 29th, Warner Bros. will no longer be issuing copies of the Harry Potter films on DVD or Blu-ray to stores, either online or bricks and mortar. By the spring, whatever copies are out there on the shelves will be running very thin, I feel. Why are they doing this? Because of this….
UPDATE: As a result of the following article, I understand that the comic in question has been pulled from ComiXology. Hope you got it/read it if you wanted to… The new Incredible Hulk series by Jason Aaron and Marc Silvestri is out next week. But a few hours ago it went live on the ComiXology…
I said that the beginning of Defenders #1 reminded me of Sandman. Well pretty much all of Fear Itself #7.2 does. Oh and a bit of Buffy. Now there are going to be a few spoilers in this, there’s no two ways about it. So let me tell you a quick story, to give people…
Twleve issue threes and two issue twos, the DC relaunch is starting to bed in. Which is probably why so many books try to do a little something different this week. Resurrection Man is into its third issue and already it’s adding a kink to the premise – this time our hero does not return…
Bleeding Cool has made note of the continued salami slicing of budget at Marvel Comics. The firing of staff without a decrease in workload for the department. The reduction and justification for every expense, no matter how small, in the offices. The move from some projects to a “B” rate of pay for letterers, colourists…
What’s in a name? Often comic book products change their name from concept to production. Sometimes it’s legal, sometimes it’s a change of mind, sometimes it’s a technical issue and sometimes… it’s a shame. Take the Deadpool MAX: Balls Out Premiere HC. It has been retitled Deadpool MAX: Involuntary Armageddon Premiere HC. Kick Ass 2…
It’s one thing to have your truck stolen. It’s another when the contents of the truck are far more valauable than the truck itself. That’s what happened to Andy McMahon of Duncanville Book Store. His truck on its way to Wizard World Austin Comic Con loaded down with silver age and golden age comics, two…
Here is a preview of the twentieth volume of the French spy thriller comic, XIII – four years after the previous volume and the first by the new creative team of Jigoubov and Sente. The Day Of The Mayflower will be released in France by Dargaud on November 18th, and is expected to sell around…
While British people of late have found a number of opportunities to get their comics signed by Alan Moore, Americans… haven’t. Alan shows no sign of getting a passport again and seems content to stay in Northampton, with occasional forays to London. Some people have even travelled from America to London for an Alan Moore…
Bleeding Cool first mentioned Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards‘ follow up to Turf last year. The Golden Age, a tale about superheroes in retirement. At this weekend’s North Carolina Comic Con, Tommy Lee Edwards showed a lot more. David LaFuente was also on hand to show off his comic with Jonathan Ross. Home Run,…
We’ve finally been given a look at Loki’s forces in the new, extended trailer for The Avengers, as premiered online just after a cut-down version graced the Superbowl. Here are four screen grabs from the single shot in which they appear with any degree of clarity: So it’s not the Skrull or the Kree –…
Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing. For those of you who watched the Superbowl just to see this commercial, tell me: was it worth it?
In yesterday’s webchat (referred to earlier), Alan Moore revealed that the next League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen project to follow the conclusion of Century this summer, is to be called Nemo: Heart Of Ice, and that forty of the forty-eight pages involved have been written so far… and that we’ll see it before the end of…

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will tomorrow be playing The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, described in their schedule as: A musical celebration with…
Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well.
When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
