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…
Phonogram: The Singles Club, the second volume of the series from Image, by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, has now hit digital. The first issue is free, downloadable on ComiXology, but we also took this opprtunity to make it available free on Bleeding Cool as well, below. Open publication – Free publishing – More bleedingcool…
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…
Rob Cave writes for Bleeding Cool; While Dubai has claimed many superlatives over the years, from the tallest building and the tallest hotel to the largest man-made archipelago, it is not at all known for its comics and cult film scene. The emirate, the second largest in the United Arab Emirates, lacks even a single…
I’ve been frequently told that Isaac Perlmutter, billionaire, CEO of Marvel and largest shareholder of Disney now that Steve Jobs has died, and veteran of the Six Day War, is usually armed. Well, the New York Post list him as one of the one percent in New York City with a gun license. Which might…
Remember that old line “You can’t fire me, I quit!” DC Comics has just done the opposite. “You can’t quit, we fire you.” Earlier this week, Chris Roberson announced on Twitter that he was going to quit DC Comics as a writer on the conclusion of iZombie, and after the Fairest arc he’d committed to…
Very little, obviously. September solicitations are still some time away, but I do have a couple of tidbits. The zero issues, while telling a kind of “Year One” story for the title, in filling in continuity gaps, are also intended to lead into issue 13 of the comics. Matters that are raised in the past…

Michael Moran wrote a review of Avengers Assemble for Bleeding Cool yesterday. He only saw it in 2D. Ha. I walked up the red carpet with my good lady wife last night, for the premiere for Avengers Assemble held in London’s biggest shopping mall, Westfield. We passed Jenny Agutter (playing one of Nick Fury’s mysterious…
Marvel have finally done it. They’ve brought all their most powerful properties together in one movie. Michael Moran does his best to describe the biggest superhero movie ever.
With books such as Marvel’s Wolverine And The X-Men HC collecting four issues of 20 page comics (rather than the seven issues on the Amazon’s listing), shipping yesterday for a whopping $19.99, some readers are in revolt. Not so much the $3.99 twenty page comic, but four $4.99 twenty page comic in a stiff binder….
Okay, I think we can say that Batman #9 is going for a sell out and a second print. The issue, kicking off the Night Of The Owls crossover, has received an awful lot of extra orders from retailers in the past week. The next one up is Walking Dead… retailers have realised that this…
In September, it will be the one year anniversary of the DC New 52. Do you think they were going to let us forget? Did you think they weren’t going to do something special? Across the range of New 52 books? I understand that for one month all the original new 52 books will be…
I rarely run proper spoilers on Bleeding Cool. When I do, it’s usually because there’s some wider point to be made, a new realisation, something that goes beyond the last page. Something that may entice people who wouldn’t normally pick up the book to do so. That’s the case here. If you are planning to…
Today, we get the second issue of Avengers Vs X-Men. We’ve had the jaw jaw. Now it’s time for the war war. And all the horrors that war brings. The violence, the death, the stripping away of humanity and, worst of all, the poetry. That’s right, there’s nothing so much that defines a war as…
I understand that DC Comics are planning an “event” next year, entitled The Trinity War. Presumably referring to Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. Whether that’s a battle between the three of them, or a battle between them and everyone else, I don’t know. I’m sure it’s much more than that, but it does sound like…
Let us connect some dots. Video game company THQ used to be worth $2 billion. It now dips just below $35 million. Quite a fall. If it was overvalued before, it is likely to be undervalued now. Sega recently lost its licenses to produce Marvel video games and now Marvel is …looking for publishing opportunities……
I love how American towns stake “nicknames”. And vote on them and everything. Just like how Greensboro City Council of North Carolina have just voted unanimously to nickname the city “Comic Book City, USA” on Free Comic Book Day each year. Just for the day, mind you. May the 5th this year. Local comic shop…
Retailers could get one of these Alex Ross hand sketched covers for The Shadow for every 250 issues of The Shadow #1 they ordered from Dynamite Entertainment. One retailer has already sold his for $2000, plans to sell a Jae Lee sketch cover for $800, and any of the copies he ordered that he doesn’t…
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…
What would you do if you met a visitor from another time? Michael Moran finds out when he sees a movie sequel that’s at least a decade overdue. Has time been kind to Earth’s shadowy guardians?
“One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June” That’s the comment DC’s Senior VP Publicity Courtney Simmons gave to ABC News from Burbank when asked for comment on the story we ran yesterday, that DC were to reintroduce a preexisting character into the New DCU,…
Thanks to Fox for this one. Honchos at Superman’s comic book home, DC Comics, said this weekend that one of their most identifiable (but as of yet unnamed) straight characters will soon be coming out of the closet, according to a report. No, and I was there. Dan DiDio, DC Comics co-publisher said that a…
It seems an age since C2E2. But an interview conducted by CBR with Dan Slott at the show has only just gone online. In which Slott stated that Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso has been contacting other creators on other Marvel books to ensure they reflect… whatever change is coming with Amazing Spider-Man #700 towards the…
Just as DC Comics is turning the headlines purple with the news at Kapow that a previously established character would be rebooted as a gay person, so Marvel Comics announced they have their own headlines in mind. Tune into ABC at 11a/10a E/C tomorrow as the hosts of ABC’s The View exclusively reveal a major…
