Yesterday, Bleeding Cool semi-broke the internet with the confirmation and news of a Scott Snyder showrun line at DC Comics, called Absolute Comics, as part of the new DC publishing initiative for 2024 and 2025, DC All-In. But I also had a lot of questions about what I wrote, assumptions about what I wrote, and […]
For a little while now, Bleeding Cool has run gossip about an upcoming publishing project at DC Comics being spearheaded by Scott Snyder. One that has been compared to Marvel Comics' Ultimate line, that reimagined a number of main characters in a new continuity, recreating them from the ground up. Marvel has also revisited the […]
Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths, by Joshua Williamson, Daniel Sampere, Jim Cheung, Jack Herbert and Giuseppe Camuncoli, saw Amanda Waller returned from Earth 3, back on Task Force X, tasked with a new mission from the Council Of Light. The Light was an Illuminati-style group of figures in the animated TV series Young Justice, formed […]
At the end of the War For Earth 3 crossover event written by Robbie Thompson, Denis Hopeless and Jeremy Adams and drawn by Steve Pugh, Dexter Soy, Eduardo Pasarin, Pasarin and Matt Ryan, saw Amanda Waller left on Earth 3, in charge of her very own Justice League. Then, in time for Dark Crisis On […]
Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Dark Horse, Titan, 2000AD, Oni and more continue to push out their Omnibus collections, though some have seen their schedule slip. But here are a bunch planned for later 2024 courtesy of Amazon, PRH and more. And it begins with an Omnibus for Bruce Wayne: Murderer Turned Fugitive. Just don't ask […]
DC Finest is a new publishing initiative for 2024 from DC Comics that is, basically, doing their version of the Marvel Comics Epic line, Marvel's only real bookstore success in recent years. Declaring that it will be "presenting comprehensive collections of the most in-demand and celebrated periods in DC Comics history, spanning genres, characters, and […]
Today's Flash #7 by Simon Spurrier and Ramon Perez takes a break from Mike Deodato's dazzling grid panels innovations that have been an iconic visual aspect of this series. But the writing is as timey-wimey as ever with Max Mercury, Bart Allen and Inspector Pilgrim at the heart of all time and space. Rather than […]
DC Comics will be putting out an Omnibus collection of the Secret Six series later this year, Secret Six by Gail Simone Omnibus Vol. 1. And Gail Simone really wants to tell you all about it. She posts to TwitterX; "HOLY CATBALLS. Okay. If you have even THOUGHT of getting the Secret Six Omnibus, Vol. […]
In yesterday's Bleeding Cool we looked at Amanda Waller's takeover of the Hall Of Justice in Green Arrow #9 by Joshua Williamson and Sean Izaakse…. …as the New Hall Of Order with Peacemaker, also running around Themyscira on behalf of AXE in Amazons Attack #5 by Josie Campbell and Vasco Georgiev. Which isn't by Tom […]
If you read Final Crisis #7 by Grant Morrison and JG Jones, which seems like just the other day but was actually fifteen years ago, because time is a right bugger, you will know that in the end, Darkseid was famously defeated not with a punch or a bullet… … but by song, Sung by […]
Wonder Woman, Penguin and Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow writer Tom King posts to Threads, "I am using too many 6 panel pages." James Gunn, head of DC and who is turning that Supergirl comic into a movie, replied, "Not possible." Tom King didn't reply to that vote of confidence from his new boss, at least […]
DC Comics January 2024 solicits and solicitations have dropped, with Batman, more Batman, even more Batman, but not just Batman. There's Titans too… BATMAN #428: ROBIN LIVES! Written by JIM STARLIN Art by JIM APARO and MIKE DeCARLO Cover by MIKE MIGNOLA Foil variant cover by MIKE MIGNOLA ($7.99 US) Blank sketch variant $4.99 US […]
Earth 22? Well, I was a big fan of the Multiverse when I first came across the concept in Alan Moore, David Thorpe and Alan Davis' Captain Britain. It sparked all sorts of entertaining thought. The idea of a parallel universe I'd read a bunch of, but the idea of a panoply of competing and […]
People waited a long time for a Justice Society of America after the DC Comics New 52 deleted the very idea of it back in 2011, removed from DC Comics continuity. The Golden Age superhero precursor to the Justice League returned conceptually with DC Rebirth, as well as appearing in Justice League, Doomsday Clock and […]
As has been previously revealed, Amanda Waller has been tasked with killing every superhuman on the planet. All she had to do was to be asked by The Light. As we previously revealed the new Big Bad of the DCU in 2023 the council of members from the Young Justice cartoon making their comic book […]
It used to be the cliche that comic book events wouldn't actually have any impact, despite being sold as a story that would Change! Everything! Ever! would change very little. Maybe someone would get a new costume, and maybe we'd get a couple of new series that would be cancelled in nine months. But it […]
The DC Comics sleepytime event Knight Terrors comes to an end this Tuesday with Knight Terrors #4…. except it doesn't. Because Knight Terrors: Nights End is to come. And there are five other tie-in titles across the other books, to bring them all to an end, with just Nights End next week. We've previously looked […]
DC Comics deliberately dropped their complete November 2023 solicits and solicitations when I was out seeing Blue Beetle, clearly. Anyway, here you go, everything that Batman and Santa Claus can bring… TITANS: BEAST WORLD #1 Written by TOM TAYLOR Art and cover by IVAN REIS and DANNY MIKI Variant covers by BJORN BARENDS, BRUNO REDONDO, […]
DC Comics' full November 2023 solicits and solicitations will land later today. You can already see the Batman, Catwoman, Detective Comics and Green Lantern ones over here. But here, just for now, is a list of all the titles that will be solicited without details or imagery. Including a Batman Santa Claus Comics, a Titans […]
This week sees DC Comics publish more second finale tie-ins from Knight Terrors mini-series Catwoman, Superman, Nightwing, and Punchline. We've previously looked at which Knight Terrors tie-ins have the potential to matter to the main Knight Terrors narrative and which are "Purple Skies" crossovers that don't seem to have any further implications regarding their place […]
