Why let facts get in the way of a good story? News with Benefits is just like the actual news, but more interesting because it's embellished. Yes, it may feature made-up quotes, wrong assertions, and completely baseless speculation, but in a way, isn't that more honest than the shameless buttkissing and corporate shillery you often find in the "real" news? Don't answer that.
News with Benefits was pioneered at toilet-themed comic book news and opinion website TheOuthousers.com, which is sadly now defunct, but its stench lives on thanks to the support of your clicks and outraged comments.
X-Men #4 is in stores now, and Bleeding Cool Rumourmonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston dedicated one of his weekly comics spoiler articles to talking all about Professor Xavier and his hippie dream of humans and mutants co-existing peacefully, blah blah blah blah blah. But Rich missed the bigger story of the book, which was the fact that […]
Zack Snyder has just laid the smackdown on all the haters and doubters who have tried to claim the Snyder Cut of Justice League is a myth. Snyder took to Zack-Snyder-themed social media service Vero to post a photograph of the actual film canisters containing the Snyder Cut which are currently locked in a Warner […]
Back in 2003, Esad Ribic created a cover for Wolverine #6 that somehow slipped past the censors at Marvel despite being a pretty clear porn homage. Bleeding Cool wrote about the cover a few years ago after writer Greg Rucka confirmed its (obvious) intent on his Tumblr. Rucka was responding to a post which said: […]
It's Turkey Day here in the United States, a time for families to gather around the dinner table, gorge themselves on turkey, stuffing, and mashed root vegetables, and violently engage in inter-generational warfare over politics. It's also a time to remember what you're thankful for, which, honestly, we're having a hard time doing this year. […]
X-Force kicked off its first issue with a shocking character death, one that would change the X-Men universe forever, which was a pretty bold move considering the X-Men Universe was already in the process of being changed forever thanks to the line-wide relaunch of HoXPoX and the Dawn of X. But X-Force #2 veers into […]
Wolverine is a Canadian, which means, like all Canadians, he celebrates Thanksgiving in October like a godless heathen. But he still probably gets invited to lots of American Thanksgiving celebrations with the X-Men, and it's not surprising, considering how useful he can be around the kitchen. As Bleeding Cool recently proved, Wolverine is known for […]
We've all heard by now about Terrific Production LLC, the new Youngblood publisher started by Andrew Rev that has been making a big splash with its Twitter antics though it has not yet solicited a single comic book. If you've followed along closely, you know that, in the spirit of the Merry Marvel Marching Society, […]
Donny Cates may be known as The Bad Boy of Comics, but he's not bad in the way a Thanos or Carnage is. He's more like The Fonz, "bad" in the Michael Jackson song sense, but with a strong moral code, and he looks great in a motorcycle jacket. Case in point: when Cates was […]
Suicide Squad #1 is coming to stores in December, by Australia's favorite son Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo, and the series isn't just highly anticipated by fans. Suicide Squad has also garnered praise before release from a U.S. government official on Thursday, via a statement released over Twitter. Of course, we're talking about DC-loving Long […]
Fans diligently perusing Marvel's February solicitations and comic book "journalists" desperately scanning them for clickbait article material may have noticed the absence of one of Marvel's Dawn of X titles today. Wolverine was added as an ongoing X-series, but though Ol' Two-Dicks will get his solo book in February, Fallen Angels is nowhere to be […]
Robert Kirkman, Eric Larsen, Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Eric Stephenson, and Jim Valentino are getting together for a group signing at I Like Comics in Vancouver this December 10th. The event is being billed as the historic first time the current image partners will sign together, but is it actually a cause for alarm? The […]
If there's one thing the folks over at Marvel love, it's relaunching their comic books with new #1 issues. Unfortunately, there are only so many comics to relaunch and Marvel has apparently run out. Around the Marvel offices, we imagine, there were a lot of really sad faces as Marvel editorial staff sat around without […]
Terrific Production LLC has yet to announce the creative teams or release dates of any of its upcoming comics, but the new Youngblood publisher does have a plan for comic book artists to become millionaires. All they have to do is save their money. Terrific knows that math may not be the strong suit of […]
Justin Jordan is the co-creator of Luther Strode and past writer of DC Comics including Superboy, Deathstroke, and more, but his most relevant experience for this article's purpose was serving as writer of Green Lantern: New Guardians as part of DC Comics' Nu52 relaunch. Though Jordan has not written any Marvel cosmic titles, his experience […]
Once you've gone down the shocking road of having Superman reveal his secret identity to the world, where do you go from there? It's a dilemma facing DC Comics and writer "The Great One" Brian Bendis in this February's Superman #20. Just as Marvel Comics has been forced to resort to storylines about Wolverine having […]
Earlier this week, Bleeding Cool reported on the most recent edit to the controversial scene at the Mos Eisley Cantina between Han Solo and Greedo in Star Wars. Over the years the scene has been edited multiple times. Originally, Han shot first, killing Greedo before he could take a shot at Han. In subsequent edits, […]
Bleeding Cool has been the first and so far only website to delve into the meaning of the new Wolverine logo, pointing out how it appears to prove a long-speculated theory: that Wolverine has two dicks, one for f**king, and one for making love. When we decoded the symbolism in a rough draft of the […]
On Wednesday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave a speech at an electric car plant in which he took credit for both the Marvel and DC Cinematic Universes, noting "British actors play both Spiderman and Superman under this Government. I'm going to take credit for it." It would be tempting to take this as the […]
Marvel Comics has unveiled the final version of the new Wolverine logo on the cover of February's Wolverine #1, and it features some major changes from the preview we saw of the logo last month. Designer Tom Muller first posted what appeared to be the in-progress logo back in October. Nothing to see here. pic.twitter.com/cSC25FxksH […]
The technical difficulties plaguing the launch day of Disney's new Disney+ streaming service aren't the biggest controversy of the day, and neither is the fact that the service does not feature the original Muppet Babies cartoon (even though that should be all people are talking about). Instead, the biggest and probably strangest decision Disney made […]
