Back during New York Comic-Con 2023, we got a rare opportunity from Square Enix to fly out to NYC and try out Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. In the middle of all the hype for the voice cast panel, and the major reveal of Matthew Mercer being the voice of Vincent Valentine, we were taken away […]
Robert Kirkman and his team at Skybound came to NYCC last weekend with a big focus on the company's popular Energon Universe – the new shared universe between Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers, Joshua Williamson's new take on G.I. Joe with artists like Tom Reilly and Andrea Milana, and the new Void Rivals by Kirkman and […]
When Little Bird debuted in 2019, it was a breakout smash hit for Image Comics and an impressive creator-owned debut from award-winning filmmaker Darcy Van Poelgeest and Angoulême-nominated artist Ian Bertram. Not only did the series launch well for Image, but went on to sell out multiple times with the first issue needing four printings […]
When Todd McFarlane relaunches Spawn with #300, he span off a number of titles, King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn and The Scorched. But, courtesy of the Spawn Universe Sampler given away at New York Comic Con, there are a bunch of other titles coming in 2024. We already had details from NYCC for Spawn: Rat City […]
In 1992, Todd McFarlane first published the comic book Spawn through Image Comics. Since then, the series has had so many writers in one form or another, Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Dave Sim, Brian Bendis, Brian Holguin, Steve Niles, David Hine, Scott Snyder, Carlo Barberi, Tom Orzechowski, Paul Jenkins, Jon Goff, lots of […]
At New York Comic Con, Todd McFarlane couldn't make it in person, though he did send a video message – and two hundred and fifty copies of a Spawn Universe Sampler signed by him, which have been selling on eBay from $450 to $850. That would have been enough to pay for a flight from […]
Last week saw New York Comic Con, a generally undistanced, unmasked affair. Comic conventions often lead to "con crud" afterwards, given all the hand shaking and close contact, and it had been observed that post lockdown, con crud had reduced. But now it's back with a vengeance and for NYCC, had brought a friend. Al […]
Once upon a time, Charlie Cox played my cousin, Jonathan Hellyer Jones, in the movie A Theory Of Everything, alongside Eddie Redmayne, who played Stephen Hawking, his university dorm mate. So yes, I like to think that, in some ways, my cousin is Daredevil. But, thanks to this past weekend's New York Comic Con, I […]
It wouldn't be the biggest comic book industry secret to reveal that comic book writers Stephanie Phillips and Brian Azzarello are a couple. But it might be more of a revelation that they are working on a new comic book project together. Some do couple's massages or couple's therapy, well, Stephanie and Brian do couple's […]
Legendary comic book creator and Marvel Comics art director John Romita passed away in June this year, with many creators wanting to share their memories of the man. This was also followed by memorial pages in Marvel Comics titles. And, on the 12th of October, just as New York Comic Con was beginning, a memorial […]
The Bifrost And Furious is just one of those titles, like The Asgardians Of The Galaxy, that when you hear it, you just want it to happen right now. And thanks to Marvel Unlimited's digital comic book schedule, announced at New York Comic Con in the Women Of Marvel panel on the Sunday of the […]
DC Comics ran their big Superman Superstars panel at New York Comic Con the other day, and alongside much news and lots of artwork, they revealed a new character, a female Brainiac, dubbed Queen Brainiac. Spoilers, of course. Man, after turning down a trans Connie Kent, did DC Comics go straight to a trans Brainiac? […]
Some New York Comic Con bar gossip reached Bleeding Cool over the current Gotham War crossover storyline between Batman and Catwoman currently being published by DC Comics, from showrunners Chip Zdarsky and Tini Howard. Which has seen a major difference in policy between the two regarding how to cope with the constant Gotham crime wave. […]
My favourite joke coming out of New York Comic Con was that the showfloor dump that became the talk of NYCC was a Bad Idea publicity stunt. After all, they were doing doughnuts, why not continue with the eventual logical step forward from that, to where it will inevitably end up? But no. Bad Idea […]
Yesterday Entertainment Weekly ran an "exclusive" story that Bleeding Cool ran last week, (and Popverse, so Graeme McMillan is on the other side of having that happen for a change) about the musician and fashion designer Kid Cudi launching a new comic book series, Moon Man, as part of the Kyle Higgins' Massive-Verse being published […]
Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief C.B. Cebulski ran the Marvel Fanfare panel with Frank Miller, John Romita Jr., Adi Granov, Steve McNiven, Elena Casagrande and Lucas Werneck at New Your Comic Con. This included the news that Steve McNiven is working on a secret project with Charles Soule, which he calls their"love letter to Frank Miller." With a few pages […]

Bleeding Cool got some gossip from the bar scene of New York Comic Con, regarding upcoming Batman comic book titles. One of a number of major changes we heard, but one that stuck out, was that we were getting a death of a Robin at the end of the Gotham War crossover. A heroic sacrifice […]
In Spring 2024, Jed MacKay, Pepe Larraz, and Marte Gracia will launch Blood Hunt, a Marvel Comics crossover event between Avengers, Blade and Miles Morales: Spider-Man by the looks of it. With the Vampire Nation of Earth, last seen ensconced in Chernobyl, on the prowl. With Marvel Comics asking, "who will bite it?" So that's […]
