Louis Falcetti writes for Bleeding Cool; "Aren't all relationships dysfunctional and volatile?" The words of Peter Bagge explaining why the protagonists in so much of his work seem to be in relationships that are just that. That may be the case with for humans but as far as the chemistry between Boston and the Boston […]
Bleeding Cool have run a number of concerned comments on the quality of DC Comics' thick hardbacks of late, and how a number of them can be unreadable. Dan DiDio promised that the concern had been noted and that things would be fixed by the time of the New Teen Titans Omnibus. So how did […]
On Free Comic Book Day on May the 5th, DC Vertigo will be giving away a preview of their adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, adapted by Denise Mina, Leonardo Manco and Andrea Mutti. But it is already being given away free on ComiXology. It's not the only comic book adaptation on the […]
Photo from C2E2 by Anna Fischer. Chris Roberson is the first to publicly quit DC Comics asa result of Before Watchmen. Will he be the last? And with out DC zero issue story getting publicly confirmed, and more Before Watchmen work making it out, it looks like DC Comics is rather dominating the news agenda […]
Adi Tantimedh writes for Bleeding Cool; I read the news that BAKUMAN would be ending this week. The final chapter will be published in Japan's WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP and two weeks later in English in Viz Media's weekly SHONEN JUMP ALPHA e-anthology. That will bring the collected volumes to a total of 17 or 18, […]
BuzzFeed, in its tour of DC offices the other day, had a sneak peek about The New Six, the new books joining the New 52. Let's have a quick look and further examination… with thanks to Dan Hart for assistance. G.I. Combat: The War That Time Forgot by J.T. Krul and by Ariel Olivetti, and […]
BuzzFeed, after their trip around the DC Offices, were allowed to take some shots of the Before Watchmen comic books, including these Rorschach pages by Lee Bermejo with their seventies Manhattan exotica, the Silk Spectre page by Amanda Conner that follows it with the falling snow globe and nine panel grid right out of Watchmen, […]
Last week, Bleeding Cool announced that in September DC would give all the original New 52 titles an issue 0, telling year one, with regular numbering coming back in October. And at Boston Comic Con, on the DC panel, Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, Jamal Igle, Cliff Chiang and Francis Manapul basically confirmed it. Although it's […]
Today, Valiant Entertainment launches their new logo, designed by Rian Hughes. I like it. It's also reminiscent of Rian's most famous logo, for Forbidden Planet. Anyway, this is how it will look like on the cover of the criminally-under-ordered-and-likely-to-hit-$20-by-the-weekend-after-its-released X-O Manowar.
The other day, I linked to the then-upcoming LA Times panel with Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, hosted by Geoff Boucher and jokingly asked if he'd mention Chris Roberson. He did. Geoff Boucher: Yesterday it was announced that Chris Roberson is no longer working on the 'Fairest' arc. [To Lee] As a creator, how do […]
This week sees the publication of Captain American Idol and ScienTHORlogy from Boom, with The Avengefuls' scheduled for next week. Avengefuls artist Joshua Covey also appears to be doing the cover for Grace Randolph's Supurbia issue 1 third print, with quite the forced perspective. I guess we can expect Boom to announce the sellout and […]
Here's the Near Mint issue of Avengers #1 that was rescued from being thrown in the dumpster by Steve Eyre of World Of Superheroes in Sheffield, and picked up by a local news crew attending a screening of Avengers Assemble…

Rob Cave writes for Bleeding Cool; While Dubai has claimed many superlatives over the years, from the tallest building and the tallest hotel to the largest man-made archipelago, it is not at all known for its comics and cult film scene. The emirate, the second largest in the United Arab Emirates, lacks even a single […]
Greg Baldino writes for Bleeding Cool Questionable Content is many things: A webcomic about a haphazardly adjusted group of twenty-somethings in New England. A serial narrative set in a context of kitchen-sink science fiction. Perhaps most importantly, it's one of the most impressive webcomics accomplishments, updating five days a week in full color with a […]
Eliot Cole writes for Bleeding Cool; I read the other day that this run has been receiving some amount of criticism online of late, I'm here to tell you not to believe the negative hype … if there is such a thing. We're back now with the original creative crew, Azzarello and Chiang. Frankly, though, […]
IMAX cinemas will promote Free Comic Book Day 2012 to their email subscribers and on their website, as well as tweeting, Faceboking and the like, in association with their Marvel Marathon running before the midnight release of Avengers the day before Free Comic Book Day.

I've been frequently told that Isaac Perlmutter, billionaire, CEO of Marvel and largest shareholder of Disney now that Steve Jobs has died, and veteran of the Six Day War, is usually armed. Well, the New York Post list him as one of the one percent in New York City with a gun license. Which might […]
PoliticsWatch: Ostensibly a kids comic, the rather successful Spirou in France goes rather political with its upcoming issue, declaring that in the midst of political uproar, France needs saving. The last time it did this was when Belgium was without a government… NovelWatch: Darkroom, is an autobiographical graphic novel by Lila Quintero Weaver about growing […]
The viral marketing page for Before Watchmen, purporting to show a page from The New Frontiersman, as the superheroes are being disbanded in 1977, years before the Watchmen series takes place may have a boo boo. One of the articles, written by Seymour Smith, is about punks in England, and how they could use their […]
