Diamond chart time. And a special congratulations to former Bleeding Cool columnist Alex De Campi and Erica Henderson, whose graphic novel Dracula Motherf**ker from Image Comics was the best-selling graphic novel in the Diamond direct market in October this year, beating out the collection of Marvel's summer event, Empyre. Someone at DC's Black Label should […]
When Diamond UK returned to distributing comic books – and took back the UK/European distribution deal for DC Comics to comic book stores – it had a lot to catch up on. Months worth of comics that had been stuck in warehouses were gradually distributed around comic book stores outside of North America. There have […]
Peach Momoko is a comic book creator and cover artist who began exhibiting at US comic conventions back in 2014. She drew a couple of stories picked up by Grant Morrison when he was EIC of Heavy Metal Magazine and has since become the hottest cover art variant creator in the business. In October, that means lots of covers […]

When Dynamite Entertainment solicited their upcoming crossover event DIE-Namite, there was a strange disconnect. The solicitation for the first issue talked about Green Hornet and Kato getting involved with Red Sonja – but all the covers featured Red Sonja – and Vampirella. Even with creators reportedly dropping off that series in light of recent issues […]
Welcome to Time Lord Victorious: Thank FOC It's Friday. Planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off at Diamond Comic Distributors. And now UCS and Lunar as well. Of course, in these times, so much of this is up in the air. There's a lot of product coming through that needs […]
In recent days, Bleeding Cool has reported on Dynamite Entertainment's issues with its staff and creators over their recent decisions to publish and crowdfund for comic book variants of their titles created by, and featuring characters from people associated with Comicsgate. As a result, a number of creators publically announced they were, or already had, […]
It was to have been announced at SDCC Comic-Con@Home, but then Dynamite pulled two of their panels. One, about James Bond comic books and another about a big crossover event. Diamond Comics has updated its Previews catalogue listings for next week, and that includes said big crossover event, dubbed DIE!Namite, featuring Green Hornet, Kato and […]
Bleeding Cool has confirmed that, after the impact of recent news stories regarding Dynamite Entertainment, IndieGoGo and Comicsgate, Dynamite has chosen to pull two of the three panels that would have been running during San Diego Comic-Con@Home.

The world can seem like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but at Bleeding Cool you can still read all about comics, merch, TV shows, games, movies and more. And yesterday that meant Captain America getting Venomized, Dark Knight being awful, Avengers getting Defunded, Women in Western Comics and Dynamite exploding. The Daily Lying In […]
An hour ago, Bleeding Cool published an article regarding a number of their creators deciding to stop working for Dynamite Entertainment. Shortly before publication, Dynamite owner and publisher Nick Barrucci declined to comment. That suddenly seems to have changed. Several prominent comic book creators had told Dynamite that they were no longer happy to work […]
Last May, Bleeding Cool reported on Dynamite Entertainment's decision to publish an Ethan Van Sciver variant cover of Vampirella to be sold, exclusively to Ethan Van Sciver, with a little history. That it was common for retailers to commission star comics creators to draw a cover for an upcoming comic book, that would be exclusive […]
Every week your Local Comic Book Shop, hopefully, gets in a weekly assortment of comics, trades, posters, action figures, and other goodies from Diamond. Now some of these goodies sell out fast from your LCBS, so Tuesday and Wednesday LCBS retailers get on the phone (more often the computer) and let Diamond know they need […]
Sacred Six, previously styled as sacredsix, is a brand new spinoff of Christopher Priest's Vampirella run. As someone who has never read a Vampirella comic before but enjoys Priest's writing, Sacred Six seemed like it would make sense as an entry point. It boasts an enviable art team, with Gabriel Ibarra supplying the main artwork and Jae Lee, whose art on Stephen […]
Christopher Priest has a writer's commentary on Vampirella Vol 5 #10, out from Dynamite Entertainment now. So I get asked a lot how an ordained former pastor can justify writing a book like VAMPIRELLA, with its violence, nudity, language, and occult themes. Well, this is how– Father Gutiérrez is a no-nonsense Christian street fighter modeled […]
It's unlikely that many retailers will have put out a comic book on the racks with a topless photo on the cover. But just in case, Dynamite Entertainment has let retailers know that they forgot to put a black bag around the Bettie Page #1 Black Bag Photo Cover that came out last week. The […]
Thomas E. Sniegoski has a Writer's Commentary on Vengeance Of Vampirella #8 on sale now from Dynamite Entertainment. He writes; PAGES 1-3 I wanted to open this issue with a scene showing how Nyx plans on dealing with the fact that her parents (the Chaos Lords) were REALLY gonna be pissed off at her now […]
Yesterday, we looked at DC Comics' confirmation of comic books that would be returnable through Diamond Comic Distributors, as part of arrangements regarding the impact of the global pandemic. Today, Dynamite Entertainment has announced an extension of their returnability of all stock to retailers through August. This enables retailers to order in confidence, whatever may […]
As the online-San Diego Comic-Con replacement Comic-Con@Home information starts to be released, Dynamite Entertainment has the jump on today's panel announcements for its own planned media appearances, with three panels to be broadcast on three days of the show. And they are using it for announcements. James Bond – 007 in Comics! Thursday July 23 […]
