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…
As you read this, I am currently flying through the air to the Phoenix Comic Con. But before I hit the airport, I hit the comic shop. And these are a few of the things that caught my eye. There are plenty of wonderful things in the new HERO comic from Image, from a new…
Sometimes, I see footage from The Amazing Spider-Man that encourages me greatly. Then, I see more than leaves my scepticism rising. There’s a little of both in this new featurette, but only on a very small scale. The conversation with director Marc Webb is interesting enough, though. It gives away something of his attitude, even…
A new Amazing Spider-Man video blog offers an introduction to Dr. Curtis Connors and his reptillian alter ego, with some teasing info about his shared backstory with Richard Parker, Peter’s dad. There’s also some footage of a Phantom-meets-Jekyll transformation, which looks a touch “classical,” if you know what I mean. That “video blog” originally appeared…
Order the new Amazing Spider-Man game through Amazon, and you’ll get the option to play as Stan Lee. I don’t think there’s a font size big enough for the necessary “Excelsior!” is there? There is no option to play as Steve Ditko. And frankly I think he’d prefer it that way.
UPDATE: Dan Slott writes: This news from Bleeding Cool is inaccurate. The story is NOT called “Hobgoblin Inc.” As mentioned at C2E2, the story is called “Danger Zone.” The original article, below; Cosplayers, get ready. The next Amazing Spider-Man arc following Ends Of The Earth and the Lizard storyline, is to be Hobgobin Incorporated. Whether…
Quite a week for comic book movies — New Dark Knight Rises trailer, The Avengers US opening, and today, the new Amazing Spider-Man trailer with a glimpse of the Lizard in action. Add in a rather strong week for new comics and FCBD, and you’ve got a great week for comics. Most-Read Comic Stories…
Looking up close at some details in the latest Amazing Spider-Man trailer.
Rolling out in cinemas with The Avengers is this new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. You can download that from Apple. Andrew Garfield is a great big heart on legs. Emma Stone is one of the most charming and idiosyncratic actresses of her generation, and her comedy instincts are peerless. Sally Field and Martin Sheen…
There’s a bit of selective angling going on here, I think. Rather than committing to the full face of the Lizard, these new promo pics have gone “the full, unadulterated Tourneur” and just show us aslant angles of the big slimy beast. Still, this is our first look at him in a lab coat. Quite…
Lots of good comics this week. Just in time for Free Comic Book Day… Before there was Locke And Key, there was Skeleton Key by Andi Watson. A key that opened doors into new and different worlds. And the Skeleton Key Color Special takes us into a zombiefied world that manages to cope with the…
Paul Feig is now The Director of Bridesmaids pretty much everywhere he goes, which is definitely preferable to Director of Grounded AKA Unaccompanied Minors, Sabrina the Teenage Witch‘s First Season Science Teacher or Dad at Car Wash from Bad Teacher. But he does have plenty of other winning aliases, from Author of Superstud: Or How…
Let’s forget about last night’s fan-made hoax. None of you were able to find the new Spider-Man poster hanging in cinemas, despite Sony’s promise that it was out there. Perhaps they lied to us. These TWO new posters have been officially unveiled by Yahoo. Quite dark. Need a bit of brightening up, I think. Maybe…
Little Bleeder Christopher Handschurch just sent me this, apparently the new poster for The Amazing Spider-Man. If I can verify that he hasn’t just found it from somewhere else on the web (how dare I make that accusation… or pun) then I’ll be giving him some booty very soon. So to speak. What an awful,…
I’m still waiting for a snoopy Little Bleeder to find and e-mail me an image of the new Amazing Spider-Man poster, as released to cinemas across the US. Several of you have e-mailed links to this new trailer, however. Gold stars all round. I’m not sure about some of the action stuff here, and there’s…
While posting this new, B-boy tactic Amazing Spider-Man image to Facebook, the film’s PR team promise that a new poster for the film will appear online on Monday. But that it will be hanging in cinemas before then. It might even be in a few now. So I’m putting a bounty on it. Find it,…
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…
