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…

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…

Story artist Jane Wu has posted a video to her site of an animatic made during the development of The Avengers. I can’t embed it (I’m in a foreign country using odd technology – literally) but maybe Rich will work out how and update this story. Or at least do some screen grabs of his…
I think Brendon might be onto something here: The previous two were both Coulson-centric. Hard to know if this one will be, but if you recall, Edgar Wright has been making some odd comments about Ant Man recently. Could… he… really? Explains both “I shot something recently, can’t tell you what” and “Maybe I’ll shoot…
What is Item 47? Which scenes are getting longer? What do we now know about the alternate ending?
The Infinity Gauntlet by Jim Starlin, George Perez and Ron Lim is currently the number one best selling graphic novel on Amazon.com. I wonder why? On eBay, Thanos’ first appearance in Iron Man #55 at CGC 9.4 has just sold for $2550, a massive increase on only a three months ago, it sold for $300….
Having been moved to the verge of a standing ovation by Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner in The Avengers, Rizzoli & Isles star Angie Harmon has decided she has to be She-Hulk. HAS TO BE. In her excitement, Ms. Harmon posed for a photo as though smashing the pavement. When she tweeted the picture, it…
Marvel’s Point One comics were billed as perennial comics, issues that comic book stores could keep on hand, ideal for when anyone expressed an interest in trying a comic, they’d get something suitable for new readers that would give them a flavour of the book, bring them up to speed and give the main books…
Greg Capullo once said that, when leaving Haunt, he had a choice between working on Batman and Wolverine, and went with the relaunch of Batman with Scott Snyder. Turns out that the temptation may have been even harder, and that he was offered the opportunity to draw Avengers Vs X-Men. In an interview he says;…
Dr Manolis Vamvounis writes for Bleeding Cool. Last week in comics: WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #10 alone makes up for everything that’s sucked in AVX so far. The major mutant players come together at the Jean Grey school and actually behave like the characters we know for a change. Cyclops and Wolvie have an insightful…
In my Avengefuls comic for Boom!, I had President Obama shooting Osama Bin Hulk in the head with the line “guns don’t kill terrorists, Presidents kill terrorists.” It felt right. We know President Obama used to read comics. Even when he was all grown up. Appearing on The View, he was asked about Kardashians, Fifty…
The Avengers 2012 is a huge hit, but not all comic book readers are happy about that. Host Grace Randolph takes a look at the online hate for The Avengers 2012, largely coming from fans of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. Can’t Marvel and DC Comics fans get along? Isn’t The Avengers 2012…
Can’t quite work out the motivation here. But a customer of the Regal Cinema in Abingdon, Baltimore, was rather annoyed to discover that the showing of The Avengers that he’d paid to see had captions. He remonstrated with cinema staff who offered him a refund or replacement tickets. He refused both and returned to his…
I understand that the first two issues of Avengers Vs X-Men have sold through their third print before the issues in question have arrived in store, and Marvel is going to a fourth print on both. Avengers Vs X-Men #4, AVX: Versus, and crossovers for Avengers, Uncanny X-Men and Avengers Academy are all published tomorrow….
Larry Young writes for Bleeding Cool; THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE AVENGERS MOVIE. I’m not a person who puts much truck into “spoilers,” because I’m an old-school entertainment consumer. Back in 1980, I bought the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back and found out Yoda was a little blue yard gnome. The experience…
ClowesWatch: Daniel Clowes on being a mainstream icon. “It does have a bit of the feel of ‘Here’s your gold watch. Thanks for the years of service,’ ” he says. “But I do think things have changed with comics over the years, and that was sort of my reason for embracing the whole thing. The book…
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…

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.
