DC Comics has revealed its proper, full solicitations for August 2020 as the industry begins to ramp up back to full service. With lots and lots of Joker – but Harley Quinn's final issue with #75. I don't suppose there's any chance of a 5G Harley Quinn reboot? BATMAN: THREE JOKERS #1 written by GEOFF […]
Man, it's a long time since Bleeding Cool broke the news about a) a sequel to Metal by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. that b) it would be called Death Metal and c) showed off artwork, all through pounding shoes on pavements. But pandemic or no pandemic, we are finally getting there. It was James […]

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, […]
There's no appearance of Punchline in any DC Comics book today, just saying. Not Nightwing #70, not Batman #91 and not Hell Arisen #4. Red lettering on black balloons, it's not great is it. Hang on, let me squint… You think you destroyed the Justice League but they were pulled to safety by the great […]
Today's Flash #750 reveals a new self-contradictory timeline, which Wally West's Dr Manhattan-powered up Pariah must find a way to sort out. But maybe it's more that just the machinations of Manhattan that got it that way? Because today's Justice League Odyssey #19 has Epoch. The Lord of Time, making big plans for everyone and […]
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 […]
Bleeding Cool has been reporting on the sequel to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's 2017 Dark Knights: Metal for some time, even stating that it would be called Death Metal. We told you that it would go official today. But, thanks to a very kind soul who told us what we should know, Bleeding Cool […]
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 […]

Last week saw Justice League #39 by Scott Snyder and Jorge Jimenez, the cliffhanger of which will be resolved in Death Metal. the Metal sequel by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. Today's Justice League #40 with a brand new creative team led by Robert Venditti, Doug Mahnke and Jamie Mendoza is actually meant to be […]

This is a panel from towards the end of today's Justice League #39 by Scott Snyder and Jorge Jimenez. With the Spectre and the Phantom Stranger narrating the nature of the character's reality. 'Events that unfolded outside your purview, some disconnected from your reality altogether but deeply felt and impactful.' It's one of a number […]
Today sees the publication of Wonder Woman #750, and it kicks off the new DC Timeline. The byword for the new timeline, four generations worth with a fifth to come, it that everything happened. Everything matters. Everything is in canon, in one way or another. We heard that it would be the strip from Scott […]
So who wants some more half-truths and misinformation? As a result of yesterday's address to retailers by DC publisher Dan DiDio, much of which can be found in this series of articles, Doomsday Clock no longer being in DC Universe continued seemed settled – though, if someone wants at DC Comics wants to give it […]
When it was announced, Doomsday Clock, the unauthorised sequel to Watchmen by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, was also a crossover with the DC Universe. Specifically the very-near-ahead DC Universe, the plan was that as the story reached its conclusion, that the events of Doomsday Clock would marry up with the DC Comics Universe then […]
Over 2017 and 2018, Bleeding Cool ran a number of articles looking at the relationship of Doomsday Clock to the rest of the DC Universe – and even The Three Jokers too. We saw what once was clearly intended to be the tightest of structured continuity, fall apart as a result of delays, personnel changes […]
