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…
The new issue of Out magazine, the biggest voice of gay culture, lifestyle and politics in the USA, is running an article on a certain Teen Titan. Scott Lobdell’s Teen Titans introduced a new, out, gay man going under the name of Bunker. Flamboyant, dressed in purple, this is not the kind of gay man…
It is Diamond Comic Distributors’ 30th Anniversary. This is Steve Geppi’s message to retailers, publishgers and manufacturers. Yes, that is what Steve Geppi looks like.
Bleeding Cool has sources everywhere. Some are reliable, some are… less so, but sometimes still come up with the goods. Well, this come from one of those double platinum sources that you can bet the farm, the farmer and the entire agricultural budget on. I was given two words. Two words that define the story….
Leah Moore, co-writer of the medium-redefining webcomic The Thrill Electric – and also one of Alan Moore’s daughters – had something to say about the announcement today of Before Watchmen. I have to say I find it hard to disagree.
Today sees the release of both Ed Brubaker’s Fatale #2 and Winter Soldier #1. One with art from Sean Phillips, the other with art from Butch Guice. And both told in a rather noir style. So much so… that you can do this sort of thing. Go on, read them both at the same time,…
We’ll keep this article updated through the day. So, yes, Watchmen 2. Darwyn Cooke – “The nature of the undertaking is going to polarize a lot of the readership…I think a lot of people will be excited about this and there are a lot of people that will be dead against it… I don’t feel…
Nathan Edmonson took the opportunity of answering an AMA on Reddit a few days ago by editing it to announce a sequel to his Image-published Clint-serialised comic Who Is Jake Ellis, namely, Where Is Jake Ellis. The original dark thriller series was rather well received. We get the feeling this may be as well.
At the weekend, Bleeding Cool ran a piece in which Kris Shaw demonstrated issues with recnt DC Omnibus volumes. So someone asked Dan DiDio about it on Facebook. And he replied. The next Wolfman/Perez Titans omnibus is published in April. Let’s take a look then, shall we?
Abby Denson writes for Bleeding Cool. Hi, I’m Abby DENSON. This is my third year at Angouleme. So far, I’m making good on my vow to come every year, and I’m so glad I can! My friend Yuuko KOYAMA came in from Japan this time too, so it’s extra special (though we are also missing…
Mathew Quitney attended the New Orleans Wizard World Comic Con on Sunday for Bleeding Cool. And happened to have his camera on him. It wasn’t the host of any continuity shattering announcements, didn’t feature the premiere of next Summer’s hottest super/fantasy/sparkly trailer, but it had a great underlying New Orleans feel. Everyone, be it staff/attendees/creators,…
The MCM London Expo is now the home of the longstanding Eagle Awards (and yes, you can vote for Bleeding Cool there) But with Fables co-creator Mark Buckingham, Danger Academy co-creator Tony Lee and Titan Publishng senior editor Steve White, they are launching a new competition to reward and recognise new British talent. It’s all…
Comics are juxtaposed, sequential art, right? Scott McCloud says so. Which makes the Threadless series of comic artist T-shirts just as much a comic book as anything else. Especially if you wear each shirt in the right order on subsequent days. And now Threadless have hired Chris Roberson to write an eight panel story over…
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…
