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 […]
From the new gorgeous looking Birds Of Prey #5 from Kelly Thompson and Arist Deyn, Black Canary addresses their big foe Megaera, and pulls from the most quotable comic book. Well, yes, that would be Rorschach – sorry, Walter Kovacs – as seen in the comic book Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Which […]
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 […]
Kevin Smith famously (because Bleeding Cool reported it) turned down DC Comics to write for Before Watchmen when it was offered to him. Too much respect for Alan Moore. But that hasn't stopped him going for a Watchmen parody cover for the first issue of Quick Stops II. Who watches the Watchmoobies? You may find […]
Man, people waited so long for a Justice Society of America after the DC Comics New 52 deleted the very idea of it, back in 20111, 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 […]
In Watchmen by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins, (you might have heard of it), Laurie Juspeczyk, the young Silk Spectre picked up a snowglobe as an attraction, while her parents were arguing. It was a distraction, and she fantasises that it contains a whole world, out of time, within its glass walls. It […]
Today sees the publication of… plenty of DC Comics books. Including the likes of New Golden Age #1 and Dark Crisis #6. And amongst them all, themes seem to emerge. And a big one concerns parents and children, something that has risen to the fore as more of DC's mainstays have gotten married and had […]
Flashpoint time! Yesterday, Bleeding Cool looked at the solicitation for next month's New Golden Age one-shot by Geoff Johns, Steve Lieber, Jerry Ordway, and Diego Olortegui is solicited thus; "from the Justice Society of America to the Legion of Super-Heroes, The New Golden Age will unlock DC's epic and secret-ridden history of heroism, launching a new […]

Crisis time! Again, this is usually about how long it takes to reach me. But interesting folk at last weekend's New York Comic-Con risked life and limb by gossiping, unmasked, about the future of the cosmic event comics at DC Comics, specifically the current Dark Crisis and Flashpoint Beyond and how they may be crashing […]
There has been a lot of time travel for DC Comics titles of late. From jumping forward to see Future State, Jonathan Kent going to university in the 31st century, as well as Flashpoint, Flashpoint Beyond, and Crisis upon Crisis writing and rewriting history, and The Flash going back and forth like nobody's business. But […]
DC Comics have released their December 2022 solicits and solicitations, leading with Batman/Spawn and having a lot more Batman to follow it. Expect this, however, to be one of the best-selling comic books of the year – and that's more about Spawn than Batman. BATMAN/SPAWN #1 Written by TODD McFARLANE Art and cover by GREG […]
When DC's current event comic was announced, it was called Dark Crisis. Then, a few issues in it became Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths, with the so-called deaths of the Justice League being used to power Pariah's attempts to bring back the pre-Crisis Infinite Earths for the DC Comics Universe, almost forty years after they […]
Two or three weeks ago, Bleeding Cool ran a little Dark Crisis gossip. And with Flashpoint Beyond #5 and Dark Crisis #4 out next week, how is it all shaping up? Well we stated "Spoiler warning inside a spoiler warning. Flashpoint Beyond will tell you the end of Dark Crisis, and of the return of […]
DC Comics relaunches the Justice Society Of America and Stargirl, with Geoff Johns as well as WildCATS and Wildstorm in November, while finally publishing the long-awaited Batman/Joker comic by Marc Silvestri. THE NEW GOLDEN AGE #1 DC's future…and its past…will never be the same again. But how are Mime and Marionette connected to this? Why […]
Dark Crisis has now been revealed as the Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths, a sequel to the original Crisis On Infinite Earths from DC Comics. But it is also the return of The Great Darkness, the ancient vacuum of existence which threatened everything at the same time in the Swamp Thing comics way back when, […]
Worlds Within Snowglobes – today's Dark Crisis #3 sees Deathstroke – employed by the Great Darkness after his death at the hands of Talia Al Ghul – trying to start a Crisis. Doing it in the way that only Deathstroke can. Today's Flashpoint Beyond #4 also knows what's going on, even from an entirely different […]
As Bleeding Cool previously reported, today's Dark Crisis #3 teases a returning Justice League under the auspices of Black Adam. But not the Justice League you know best; they are still dead. Although we have also reported this as a feint by Pariah, "to power his weapons of war, Pariah has captured each member of the […]
