About Bleeding Cool

Welcome to BleedingCool.com – one of the internet's longest-lived independent entertainment news sites

Since 2009, Bleeding Cool has played a crucial role in the pop culture landscape. While other outlets were afraid to call out publishers for bad practices we were not. When there was a scandal that others were too afraid to pursue out of fear of losing access we were not. Now, we have evolved into a multi-facet website that caters to all levels of pop culture. We cover movies, comics, books, television, and more and not just sharing news. We bring critical analysis from a group of talented and diverse writers from all over the world and from all walks of life. Our people work hard every single day to bring the news and share our love of pop culture with those around us.

Tom Chang, Contributor

I'm a follower of pop culture from gaming, comics, sci-fi, fantasy, film, and TV for over 30 years. I grew up reading magazines like Starlog, Mad, and Fangoria. As a writer for over 10 years, Star Wars was the first sci-fi franchise I fell in love with. I'm a nerd-of-all-trades.

Jude Terror, Wrestling & Comics

A prophecy claims that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Unfortunately, nobody can tell when the comics industry has reached its "darkest days" because it somehow keeps finding new lows to sink to. No matter! Jude Terror stands vigilant, bringing the snarkiest of comic book and pro wrestling clickbait to the undeserving readers of Bleeding Cool.
