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…

Frank Cho has put his yet-to-be-released-and-frankly-rather-late Image Comics series on ice. Guns & Dinos was to have been released late last year but… it wasn’t. He writes; Well, I saw this coming when my Marvel assignment and my non-comic project deadlines kicked into overdrive around Thanksgiving. I’m postponing the release of “Guns & Dinos”…
Attending the largest comic book convention in the world, Angoulême in France, Brian Azzarello told French website MDCU that he is working on a new book for DC comics with Lee Bermejo, who he collaborated with on the Joker and Lex Luthor original graphic novels.

Bobcat Goldthwait seems incapable of making films that are any less than provocative, but there’s always been lot more to them than posturing and posing, I’ve loved every single one to date. His latest “moral fable” is God Bless America, best explained by this red band trailer. Great to see Joel Murray in such an…

DC Comics have done it. Devils Due have done it. Oni Press have done it. And now it’s time for Bongo Comics of The Simpsons, Futurama and Sergio Aragones to change their logo. And all their titles as well. Two weeks ago. Sorry, I just noticed. Here’s how, and why, Matt Groening’s comic book publisher…
Last year, there was a kind of proto-Extreme relaunch with Mark Poulton and Owen Gieni recreating the Rob Liefeld character Avengelyne for Image Comics.

Recently, Bleeding Cool ran an article on how Marvel were looking to get certain creators out of their exclusive deals with Marvel, in an attempt to save money. And how Ariel Olivetti may have been a good example, locked into a two year excluisve deal with Marvel but suddenly appearing on the rejigged Men Of…
Toy News International ran these scans of images of DC toys and statues for 2012. But did they miss the headline story? Or is it a case of one side of DC not knowing what the other is doing? Because in May 2012, as part of the New 52 Cover Girls Of The DC Universe,…
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’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…

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…
