DC Comics' December solicitations note that Brian Bendis' runs on Superman and Action Comics are ending in December – and this was after statements Brian Bendis made in June saying he would be staying on the Superman titles at DC "for a looooooong time."

Kevin LaPorte of Inverse Press writes for Bleeding Cool about the Killer Bees, now on Kickstarter. Professional wrestling perpetually lurks in the shadows of pop culture entertainment. Despite its overwhelming staying power (for well more than a century now) and despite its enormous popularity, the scripted sport remains plagued by a lurking sense that it […]
It was never officially announced. But it was happening. Then DC Comics fired publisher Dan DiDio. And so now it is not. At DC Fandome, in a video recorded a few weeks ago, current DC publisher Jim Lee confirmed his previous reports confirming the death of 5G. As part of the new DC timeline, 5G […]
Seen Tenet? Good. Not seen, Tenet? Look elsewhere. This is the kind of article that spoils the ending of Tenet right from the beginning. It looks at some of the consequences of the revelations in Tenet. And given Christopher Nolan's obsession with this kind of thing, probably all played for and got. The sequel to […]
Yesterday I received quite the treat. The new Shortbox – the only Shortbox for 2020.

Over the last couple of months, Bleeding Cool has covered a lot of stories featured in Chris Fenton's book Feeding The Dragon. Fenton was president of the China-based DMG Entertainment Motion Picture Group, General Manager of DMG North America (owners of Valiant Comics), and Senior Advisor to IDW Media Holdings. I recently read it, and it made for […]
Before the shutdown, Marvel Comics was soliciting for retailers to order exclusive retailer covers for a bunch of upcoming comics. They were all pretty much abandoned, and no more have been seen for quite some time. Now for November, as in October, Marvel appears to be bringing them back, full speed ahead. To get a […]

The Other History Of The DC Universe panel for DC Fandome saw journalist Evan Narcisse interview John Ridley and Giuseppe Camuncoli about the upcoming and long-delayed illustrated story. And we got a little look at some of Camuncoli's artwork for the series. Which will begin in the nineteen seventies with Black Lightning – and meeting […]
The Watchmen panel at DC Fandome saw HBO Watchmen showrunner Damon Lindelof interview the new Rorschach creative team Tom King and Jorge Fornes, with Damon Lindelhof's background covered in White Rabbit.
