Superman

Scott Snyder has been talking about Death Metal, Doomsday Clock, 5G - and what he is planning to follow it all.

Ian Levine is known for many things, as a record producer and pop mogul, working with Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Bananarama, Kim Wilde, Billie Piper, Simon Cowell, producing Take That's first singles. As a big Doctor Who fan, Ian Levine is known for working on the TV show as a Continuity Advisor, composing the theme tune to K9 And […]

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 […]

You know how Bleeding Cool said the other day that DC Comics was prepping a WarWold comic book series? Well, totally by coincidence, today's Superman: Villains sees Mongul returning on Warworld with Mongul Jr… and watching the news. While The Toymaker has been inspired by Superman's identity revelation to hand himself in. Only to be […]

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 […]

It's all about Superman's secret identity (again) today, with the assembled Justice League heroes in the Hall Of Justice in Superman: Heroes reacting to the news that Superman has gone public with being Clark Kent. However, yes, even though Harley Quinn is there, there is no explanation for why this mass murderer is suddenly a […]

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 […]

Back in Action Comics #1000, which saw Brian Bendis' first Superman story, drawn by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, the lead story by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund saw Superman welcomed by a group of his peers. At the time there was a little disquiet that the supervillain Harley Quinn, and gun-wielding assassin/mervenary Deathstroke were […]

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 […]

So how have Superman and Batman been doing? Not great, to be honest. They (with Wonder Woman) built Sanctuary as a mental health haven for superheroes that was full of contradictions and a massive security risk for everyone and, eventually, ended up killing off a bunch of superheroes and exposing what were clearly a mentally […]

Here's the big list, the top 500 most-ordered comics and graphic novels through Diamond Comic Distributors in North American comic book stores in October 2019. We already did a little examination with the Top 10 and marketshare and Top 100 but this doubles down. We will also, in half an hour, be running a chart that combines […]

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 […]

Some people accuse Bleeding Cool of running comic book clickbait stories. What they are actually doing is accusing Jude Terror of writing comic book clickbait stories. Which he fully admits he does. Usually within the very clickbait that he is writing. And people like Donny Cates get rather annoyed especially when that clickbait is about […]
