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. Subtle. Tom King talked about his own unofficial sequel, the upcoming Rorschach comic book, leaning on the original Watchmen but also the role-playing game […]
Forbidden Planet has commissioned a retailer exclusive cover by Brian Bolland for Rorschach #1, the unauthorised Watchmen sequel by Tom King and Jorge Fornes to be published by DC Comics next month. And he is referencing one of his own famous covers to do so. The Killing Joke. Available as a trade dress variant, minimal […]
This morning, DC Comics posted the variant cover to Rorschach #1 by Jae Lee. The cover credit was solicited last week, but it appears that writer Tom King did not read the fine print. He just posted on Twitter; Today DC put out an alternate cover to Rorschach by Jae Lee, who has also done […]
In the unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, Doomsday Clock by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, Rorschach returned – but not the original, who had been killed in Watchmen #12 by Dr Manhattan. Instead, this was Reggie Long, son of Rorschach's prison psychiatrist, who had taken on the role, the mask and the mission. Tom King and […]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported on Tom King and JorgeFornés upcoming unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, Rorschach. But what can we see in the images revealed so far? And can we start a campaign from this point to get Tom King to give us his take on Alan Moore and Bill Sienkiewicz's Brought To Light? Anyway… We have a cover […]
DC Comics is returning to offering exclusive retailer/creator variant covers for their two big comic books in October. Marvel has stopped completely of late, but usually, DC Comics has one or two every other month which everyone takes up, while Marvel Comics usually offered around ten a month, which few took up. But of late, […]
Bleeding Cool has been following Tom King and Jorge Fornés plans for a new Watchmen project for some time. Now we know what it is. Rorschach, a twelve-issue series and another unauthorised sequel to Watchmen from DC Comics. Man, I haven't written that phrase for a while. Things must be getting back to normal. It […]
The Batman Who Laughs was created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo for Dark Nights: Metal, a Judge Death-type character who is the Batman from another universe, infected with the mind of The Joker, and heading up the Dark Dimensions of alternative Batmen. Since then he has become a major DC Universe character with his […]
Of late you haven't been able to move without DC comics characters realising that Crises have happened within their continuity, resetting their lives, rewriting them, deleting them and even restoring them. Whether it's Superman and Lois Lane having contradictory versions of their own lives co-existing with each other. Or future Batmen avoiding being other versions […]
We knew about Death Metal: Speed Metal but Death Metal: Trinity Crisis and Death Metal: Multiverse's End are new to us… take a look at DC Comics' September 2020 solicitations, available in comic shops through UCS, Lunar and now Diamond UK… Detective Comics #1027 Written By Brian Michael Bendis, Kelly Sue Deconnick, Matt Fraction, Tom […]
Originally teased in Justice League #50 and the DC Rebirth Special in 2016, The Three Jokers was a series by Geoff Johns, Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson originally scheduled for 2018 by DC Comics. This was postponed many a time before finally setting on June 2020. At which point a little thing called a global […]
Legendary comic book creator Jim Lee is the sole publisher of DC Comics, in Burbank, California. But like everyone else, he is stuck at home right now. And with some comic book retailers screaming blue murder over DC Comics' plan to continue with digital comic distribution this Wednesday, and potentially using regional print distribution channels, […]
Oh had you forgotten all about 5G? Well, maybe in the light of the coronavirus pandemic, DC Comics has as well. But plenty of plans were already in place and have been moving forward. Including it seems, today's Legion Of Super-Heroes #5 by Brian Bendis and Ryan Sook. Now, those keen readers of Bleeding Cool's […]
On the 13th of June, 2019, Bleeding Cool made the first mention of something DC Comics was planning called 5G. We had no idea what it was. All we knew was that it was, "something that is, or has, been planned at DC Comics at the upper creative and editorial echelons." It took until October […]
Today sees the final issue of Flash Forward #6 by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth. Following on from Heroes In Crisis, it was intended to return Wally West back to the DC Universe in some form, after killing a bunch of heroes accidentally but then covering it up and pinning the blame on Harley Quinn […]
Tomorrow, DC Comics will announce the sequel to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Metal. Bleeding Cool has been reporting that it is called Death Metal, but they could have changed it. It will also serve as a capstone to Snyder's Justice League, which ended on a cliffhanger before the new team took over the book. We understood that it was […]
Bleeding Cool has been reporting on Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Metal 2, the sequel to Dark Nights: Metal for a while. We understood that it was planned before Greg Capullo drew Reborn at Image Comics – and if Capullo hadn't returned to the project, Snyder would have written it as a Justice League storyline rather than as a stand-alone event series. But he did. We also knew it was called Death […]
I wonder if Geoff Johns looks at the DC Comics' Free Comic Book Day edition, Generation Zero solicitations and wonders what Pandora's box he opened with the unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, Doomsday Clock. Here's the solicitation for the comic by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth that follows their Flash Forward series. In order to save […]
