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…
Next week in comics… a new, long awaiting, volume of Adam Warren’s Empowered hits the shelf. It’s fifth week time for DC Comics, with Animal Man and Batman Annuals, and Ravagers and DC Nation begins. IDW brings us the Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover, Image starts Grim Leaper, brings us the second issue of America’s Got…
“We haven’t had an adventure in ages.”
Next week, IDW are to publish the first ever Doctor Who crossover, mixing continuities with those of Star Trek: The Next Generation. And the first issue just turned up in the post. And, appropriately for a crossover, it’s a mixed bag. We have Cyberman and Borg teamed up, fighting Starfleet in an even more aggressive…
It seems like Captain Jack isn’t the only bisexual in the good Doctor’s cadre of travelling companions as Steven Moffat has now outed River Song via Twitter. So in the “fine tradition” of the British Tabloids, here’s the picture that proves River Songs would kiss a girl and like it (and, of course, a boy,…
And the Doctor as well of course, no sexism here! Thanks to IdleHands for these shots of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan coming face to face with toys of themselves. Rather different, I recall, to Chris Eccleston‘s look of horror when being confronted with the same on Jonathan Ross‘ show. Though after GI Joe, he’s…
The world wanted to know about this one: The episode has been slated to premiere this August, somewhere between the 23rd and 25th, at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival. What that means about an actual BBC airdate remains to be seen. Surely they won’t keep the masses waiting too much longer? How much…
The opening episode of the next series of Doctor Who, we believe, is the one with the cornucopia of Daleks. Every size, shape and colour of killer pepperpot putting their subtle differences aside to exterminate as one. Can’t wait. Well, can wait. Have to wait. The episode has been slated to premiere this August, somewhere…
They’re coming back for the first episode of the next series, so Doctor Who Magazine is running a feature on EVERY DALEK EVER! And that’s what this cover promises, breathlessly. Come on then, who can list the missing ones? I’m sure somebody can.
I blame Chris Bachalo. He started it around the time of Death, The High Cost Of Living, giving cute characters a smudge on their nose. Possibly to suggest some kind of indentation, a raising of the nose, even freckling. You know, cute. The Terry Moore was also doing in it in Strangers In Paradise, and Bachalo’s…
Peter G writes for Bleeding Cool from Chicago; Well, here we are in Chicago, Illinois, home of great food, bad sports teams, and dead people who somehow still vote. It is the third annual C2E2 convention from Reed, held on the shores of Lake Michigan at McCormick Place. Unlike Wizard World in Rosemont, there’s no…
Alex Wilson begins our C2E2 cosplay journey with a TikiStormtrooper… Taylor Ramsey writes; This year’s C2E2 had a really eclectic batch of costumes ranging from outstanding to outstandingly awful. Zombies are big again and Time Lords too, with some really creative costumes. While there were many that should really just get an A for effort,…
David Tennant has starred in a new commercial for Virgin Media that quite openly trades on his status as a former Doctor Who. Not to spoil anything, but there’s a very Who-y conceit at the core of the thing, a specific emphasis on the words “science fiction” at one point, and very clear use of…
Filming is underway in Cardiff for the fifth episode in next year’s Doctor Who, the one that Moffat has declared to be the final episode for Amy and Rory. Shooting will soon move to New York, where the episode is set, and it seems that even the Cardiff shooting is for Big Apple scenes. Beyond…
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…
