Earlier this week, I ran a clip from an upcoming, but unreleased, preview of Superman #37 by Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora. It featured Superboy-Prime, a Clark Kent from another universe close to our own, where the DC Universe is just a comic book line. In which he informed Martha and Jonathan Kent, the parents […]
So what is happening for Amazing Spider-Man #1000? We don't know, but it seems to involve Peter Parker's direct family, one way or another. And the most recent Amazing Spider-Man #267 (legacy number #990) is giving us plenty of clues… or are they red herrings? Time to join some dots… Dot One. In the most […]

Amazing Spider-Man #26 by Joe Kelly, Francesco Manna and Ed McGuinness is out from Marvel Comics today, the seventh chapter in their Amazing Spider-Man/Venom/Carnage crossover, Death Spiral. Which just saw super-serial killer Torment kill Paul Rabin, newly revealed Uzumakli manga fan Carnage leave his host, Eddie Brock, and join with Torment, and continue Torment's family […]
Today sees the release of Web Of Venom #1 by Jordan Morris, Ramon Rosanas and Luke Ross. Previously, I had revealed just who was the host of this Spider-Man-alike symbiote… taking on the Frank Miller Wolverine pose… Because they are not claws. They are boomerangs. Or rather…. Because that is Boomerang, Fred Myers, a longtime […]
Did anyone order up some Dan Quintana covers? Good, because we have tons! The man has grabbed hold of the market, with covers new and old, making it to the aftermarket and drawing a crowd. The Daredevil blind bag experiment was a huge success, right alongside all things Invincible. It's a variant-filled Top Ten, so […]
Amazing Spider-Man #26 by Joe Kelly, Francesco Manna and Ed McGuinness from Marvel Comics, the seventh chapter in their Amazing Spider-Man/Venom/Carnage crossover, Death Spiral. The sixth chapter of which saw super-serial killer Torment kill Paul Rabin, Carnage leave his host, Eddie Brock, and join with Torment to create a brand new combination. So while Spider-Man is […]
This Wednesday sees the release of Web Of Venom #1 by Jordan Morris, Ramon Rosanas and Luke Ross. So while Mary Jane Watson is hosting the Venom symbiote in Amazing Spider-Man, in the second there seems to be a pretender to that throne already. As the solicit says "There is an even NEWER symbiote wearing hero […]
DC Comics tops the charts of anticipation for this Wednesday's comics with Absolute Green Lantern #13, joined by Transformers and Amazing Spider-Man. But what's the betting when the speculators get their hands on them, there will be more interest in Pretty Hate Machine #1 at number fifty, or Everyone Loves A Jewel Thief #1 and Estuary: A Ghost Story #1, […]
The new Daredevil #1 launch, buoyed by the TV show, blind bag, Stephanie Phillips on TikTok, and Lee Garbett's correctly spelt name, did the extraordinary; it sold three times DC Comics' ongoing Batman series, which takes the top slot every week it's published, as long as Absolute Batman isn't. Superman/Spider-Man #1 was still selling strongly […]
Marvel Comics' media partners AIPT, Polygon, Comic Book and CBR all have been given an unlettered page from the upcoming All-New All Different Spider-Man/Superman for the 15th of April, but it's Bleeding Cool who brings them all together…. Identity War – Industry powerhouse Geoff Johns delivers his first Marvel story in over 20 years, teaming up with frequent collaborator and […]
There is a big reason I didn't publish this story yesterday. Because no one would have believed it on the 1st of April. DC Comics and Marvel Comics have already each put out their own version of a Deadpool and Batman crossover last year, as well as a Superman and Spider-Man crossover this year. They […]
We know that the Ultimate Origin Boxes, brought from the Ultimate Universe by Miles Morales: Spider-Man to the Marvel Universe, will create a new Wonder Man. But looking at this cover to Reborn: Ultimate Impact, it appears that the Origin Boxes will also create a new Doctor Strange, Captain Mar-Vell and Juggernaut as well, giving […]
Dylan Brock, son of Eddie Brock and Venom, has been living with Paul Rabin and Mary Jane Watson for some time now. Not that he's been that grateful for it. And as Paul Rabin goes through more and more ridiculous hair stylings, he just gives Dylan Brock further ammunition. And as the Spider-Man fanbase turned […]
DC Comics tops the charts of anticipation for this Wednesday's comics with Batman, Absolute Superman and World's Finest, before the new Daredevil gets a look in. As the disclaimer below says, this list, pulled from the comic book website League Of Comic Book Geeks' hundred-thousand-subscriber base, may also be biased towards long-running series that people added […]
Retailer incentives for Capes, Thundercats and Knull are moving fast. Gabriele Dell'Otto's black suit Spider-Man and Superman cover was an instant hit, Dan Quintana is still hitting, media adaptations of Montress and Invincible, and the deaths of Chuck Norris and Sam Kieth have driven collectors as well.It's all here in this week's Top Ten, courtesy of Covrprice and Bleeding Cool. And a tag to keep up on previous editions. […]
Previously, Bleeding Cool had noted an absence oif Batman from DC Comics' Free Comic Book Day offerings for 2026… and now we know why. Free Comic Book Day is on Saturday, the 2nd of May 2026. As is Comics Giveaway Day. I know, I know. We thought we knew all the free comic books that […]
We've just had the first Superman/Spider-Man crossover in fifty years, and now we are getting another one from Marvel Comics, in three weeks or so, as the All-New All Spectacular Spider-Man/Superman #1, including Dan Slott and Marcos Martin bringing us a short story pitting Spider-Man Noir, Marvel's hard-boiled, 1930s pulp version, against the original Golden […]
Superman/Spider-Man #1 sold almost four times what Absolute Wonder Woman sold, almost five times what Absolute Martian Manhunter sold, as well as Amazing Spider-Man and six times Ultimate Endgame… and at eight bucks a pop, what a monster of a comic book….DC got five, Marvel got five… but I will note, not one X-book in the top ten, unless you count Jim Lee drawing Gambit […]
UPDATE: Venom #256 is out… so we have updated the images at the end in higher digital quality. The original article continues: The word is out. The spoilers are on Reddit, X and probably on 4chan at this rate, courtesy of Penguin Random House shipping Marvel Comics even earlier than usual. Venom #256 goes big […]
