Absolute Universe is expanding with three brand-new series, Deniz Camp and Javier Rodríguez take the Martian Manhunter beyond the realms of human understanding in Absolute Martian Manhunter #1. Jeff Lemire and Nick Robles reinvent the Flash from the ground up in Absolute Flash #1. And Al Ewing and Jahnoy Lindsay transform the Green Lantern without […]
Today sees the publication of The Question: All Along The Watchtower #2, Challengers of The Unknown #1, Titans and Nightwing. The first sees The Bulleteer, as a new member of the vastly expansive Justice League, but taking on a minor role. Created by Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette for the Seven Soldiers in 2005, she […]
I presume this is this. See, Liam, it was Leinil Francis Yu. So, Marvel Comics is publishing a six-issue Godzilla Vs Marvel in 2025, over different time periods, beginning with a series of one-shots, beginning with the Fantastic Four set during the kinda-sixties. Yes, like the upcoming Fantastic Four movie appears to be. And everyone is […]
In last week's Action Comics #1078 from Mark Waid and Dan Mora, Superman did an oopsie. By accidentally emptying the Phantom Zone (again), flooding the Earth with Kryptonians, and knocking himself down in the process. Looks like the Make Kandor Great Again mob were right. In this week's Action Comics #1079, drawn by Michael […]
Absolute Superman #2 again tops the charts, 50% in sales ahead of the All-New Venom launch, while X-Men, Ultimates and Wolverine all outdo the usual best-seller, Batman. JSA and Batgirl are both holding strong in the top ten, giving DC Comics four and Marvel Comics six. No. Title Publisher Writer Artist Price Ratio 1 Absolute […]
At the beginning of September, Bleeding Cool broke the news that the DC Comics Universe was changing, at least in regard to how the superpowers were being distributed among its citizens, in the wake of the Absolute Power event, saying, "Somehow, superheroes will get their powers back. But, to quote Eric Morecambe, "all the right […]
A month ago, I wrote an article entitled "DC Wants Justice League Unlimited To Outsell Absolute Wonder Woman", in which I looked at the incentives being offered by DC Comics to comic book retailers ordering both titles to let retailers order excess issues of JLU #1 for a dollar each if they matched their standard […]
Absolute Wonder Woman #2 again tops the charts, but only just ahead of Justice League Unlimited #1. And selling around twice as much as Marvel's Uncanny X-Men #6, West Coast Avengers launch and Amazing Spider-Man #62. The Last Halloween and Turtles make it in, as DC gets five titles in the top ten, IDW gets […]
The Green Lantern Annual #1 by Grant Morrison and Giuseppe Camuncoli, brought back Hal Jordan's extended family. Which includes Howard Jordan Jr, better known as Airwave. Air Wave was created in 1940 in Detective Comics #60 as Larry Jordan by Murray Boltinoff/Mort Weisinger and Harris Levey. An intern at the Brooklyn District Attorney office, Jordan […]
Previously, running DC Comics gossip, I wrote "Inferno – they are the fire that transforms. Flames in disguise?" as well as asking "Are we really going to get Batman and the Justice League vs Aliens?" Well today's Justice League Unlimited #1 pours some light on these… … as the solicitation for Justice League Unlimited #4 […]
Justice League Unlimited #1 by Mark Waid and Dan Mora is published tomorrow by DC Comics, and it gives a good guide to the Justice League's new orbiting satellite base. From Wally West to Air Wave. With plugs for The Atom Project spinoff by John Ridley, Ryan Parrott and Mike Perkins, out in January 2025. As well as […]
Today sees the publication of the first issue of The Question: All Along The Watchtower #1 and Action Comics #1076. The former of which sees Renee Montaya giving us a tour of the Watchtower, including some rather worrying policies regarding smoking on an orbiting space station filled with oxygen tanks. Come on, John, can't you […]
DC Comics have dropped their full February 2025 solicits and solicitations if you know where to look. And the Bleeding Cool folk sometimes do. So here are the full solicits, including new Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Justice League, the lot… including launches for Zatanna #1 and Green Lantern Corps #1. Available Wednesday, February […]
The DC Compact Comics line has been a hit. Well advertised, well marketed, well received and well copied by Marvel, it features a 5.5″ x 8.5″ standard book trim for trade paperback novels and sells at $9.99, collecting bestselling, new-reader-friendly titles from DC's evergreen library, for an adult readership. And now they are expanding the […]
Some DC Gossip has been coming Bleeding Cool way. Some of it made for entire articles such as The New Powers Of The DC Universe, the Return of Deathstroke, a new Gotham By Gaslight: League For Justice series, Superman getting a rather horrific future, Wonder Woman fans getting what they really want, and more to […]
Next week sees the final issue of Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age by Andy Diggle and Leandro Fernandez. But what next for the world inspired by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola's Elseworlds originator Gotham By Gaslight? Well, it looks like we have Gotham By Gaslight: League For Justice, again by Fernandez so probably also […]
Lunar Distribution has told retailers why they may not have gotten all of the Jim Lee and Scott Williams Wraparound variant cover of the DC Versus Marvel Omnibus last week with the main George Perez cover. Turns out that there may be more on the way. They stated, "The warehouse has received a partial quantity […]
DC Comics is continuing its promotional efforts to get retailers to order additional copies of certain titles in bundles, for less. So those who order the same or more copies of Justice League Unlimited #1 at Final Order Cutoff as they did of their Absolute Wonder Woman #1 can then order additional copies of the […]
The meta in the DC Comics is real. As these three scenes from tomorrow's titles demonstrate. Multiversus: Collison Detection #4 reveals Batman has a diversion Batcave just in case… I don't think he's talking about the Zur Cave. How many does he have? Batman: The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween #2 has Robin having no […]
Spoilers! Some more than others, as the fallout of Absolute Power, and DC All-In filter through the DC Universe, including Superman, Power Girl, Nightwing, Flash, Green Arrow and Zatanna. Maybe some more I missed. But I couldn't miss Green Arrow paying a post-Absolute Power Amanda Waller a visit in jail. While Superman #19 sees Lois Lane enquire […]
