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…
One question asked at the DC panel today at the Kapow comic convention in London, was about DC co-publisher Dan DiDio’s interview with The Advocate. Specifically over the decision not to change any character’s sexual orientation when relaunching the DC Universe. At the time Dan stated they would introduce new LGBT characters rather than switch…
At Kapow’s Image Comics panel this morning, with Eric Stephenson, Nick Spencer and Bryan Hitch, Jonathan Ross stated that he had plans to launch a comic book podcast, because of his contacts in media and comics. He also talked about planning new comic books with current collaborators Bryan Hitch and Tommy Lee Edwards but also…
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…

This panel included Dan Slott, current writer of Amazing Spider-Man, Ryan Stegman, current artist on Scarlet Spider, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, editor Tom Brennan, Scarlet Spider artist Ryan Stegman, Marvel’s Senior Vice President of Creative and Creator Development C. B. Cebulski, Venom writer Rick Remender, all moderated…
Two Spider-Men plus the first Marvel Universe / Ultimate Universe crossover? Yeah, that’ll be big. But actually, I’m even more pleased to see that they’re tying a major event to Spider-Man’s 50th Anniversary. Because as we noted here last month, Hulk’s 50th seems to have been largely forgotten, after a pretty big deal was made…
I can hear the blood pressure of various comic store owners rising as we speak. DC Direct, the line of toys and statues manufactured and sold by DC Comics, is being renamed as DC Collectibles will be putting its entire offering online, so that people can purchase directly from them, rather than through a Diamond-supplied…
The New York Daily News has reported that in June, the touted Spider-Men series from Marvel will be the first official crossover between the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Universe. Brian Bendis has long decried such an event, denying that the Ultimate Universe is even an alternate reality to the 616. And getting annoyed by…
As premiered during the first episode of Ultimate Spider-Man on Disney XD, here’s a new, supershort, teaser for Tron: Uprising. Tron is looking for the next Tron? Sounds a bit “I’m Spartacus and so is my wife.” In a good way. Fight the power, little computer people.
After a series of stalled development efforts, with both Paradise Lost and Dracula Year Zero run aground in the last couple of years, Dark City and The Crow director Alex Proyas is heading back to a long-time passion project, setting himself to work on an adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein‘s mysterious novel, The Unpleasant Profession…
It was a rather fun scene from the most recent issue of Amazing Spider-Man. And that’s saying something, considering how Dan Slott and Stefano Caselli have been killing it on this comic. The scene showed former Vice President Al Gore supporting Doc Octopus’ moves to save the world from environmental catastrophe. But in the middle…

Go inside the show with this exclusive look behind the scenes with the powerhouse creators and the superstar voice cast. Want even more? Stop by one of the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN LAUNCH PARTY…
In Brazil, a fast food restaurant called Habib has beaten the likes of MacDonalds and Burger King to closing a deal with Marvel/Disney for a new hamburger named Avenger. That’s a 200g beef burger patty, egg, bacon, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, cheese, special sauce and sesame-seed bun for 11.90R which is about five pounds or seven…
Before the Amazing Spider-Man panel set for later this afternoon, director Marc Webb is sitting down with bloggers and journalists at Wondercon. Not all of the interviews are online yet, and some bits and pieces that have turned up are hardly revelatory. But kudos to CinemaBlend for their short chat with Webb because it ends,…
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…
