Moving on from there to the Incredible Hulk, McFarlane used these points to quickly get to his work and the controversy over his work on the Amazing Spider-Man. While on the Incredible Hulk, McFarlane was able to adhere to a strict monthly deadline and do another book as well, which for a short stint was Detective[...]

I asked Nate to answer a few questions for Bleeding Cool about his art, his love of comics, and his new series: Anti-Hero. So Nate, let's start off with the same question that I ask everyone – how did you get into comics? The first thing that comes to mind when I think back is reading Asterix and[...]

Here's an example of work sold by A Mean Fish, a shop and market stall attendee in Canberra, Australia.

The double page splash from the most recent issue of Threshold, out this week. It's always nice when it makes a reappearance. Thank you, Keith.

Go away. That's if you haven't read Superman Unchained #1 by Scott Snyder and Jim Lee yet

This book really sparks when it's set in a place of learning (and that means a building, not the Savage Land) and the Academy does as good a job as the Jean Grey School in that regard. Here's just one of the many examples… Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London Tonight sees the launch of Jason Atomic's[...]

I think this is one of my favorite BC posts ever: But it may have brought up a question even more important than maintaining good working relationships

DC Comics states that Buzzfeed exclusively announced Villain's Month earlier this week Funny, I'm sure we did that, back in November Anyway, they did report this exchange; Will Villain Month have any major repercussions?
