In Marvel Comics December 2021 solicitations, they added a number of books for the first week of January 2022 that will have to be ordered a little earlier than usual due to the Christmas holiday period. Stating that they will be included in full in the January solicitations, but giving us the titles below. And […]
Today sees The Death Of Doctor Strange #1 by Jed MacKay and Lee Garbett, published by Marvel Comics. And it does indeed deliver on its title. No waiting for the end of the series like Ultimate Spider-Man: The Death Of Spider-Man. We begin with a Doctor Strange feeling rather immortal, his life full of surgery […]
Today sees the publication of X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation comic that acts as a cap for Si Spurrier and Bob Quinn's Way Of X series, looking at the philosophical and religious ideas underpinning the Krakoan X-Men comic books published by Marvel over the last few years. But as well as a cap, could it be […]
It's been missing from the last couple of solicitations listings, but often in Marvel Comics that means the schedules are being jiggled around. But with the release of Guardians Of The Galaxy #18 today, the final issue in The Last Annihilation crossover, Marvel confirms that the title has been cancelled for now. Not to fret […]
Today's Batman #113 from James Tynion IV, Jorge Jimenez, and Tomeu Moray, as Batman goes up against The Magistrate, all the while that Seer is telling everyone he's dead. And with Scarecrow ramping up his Fear State, now that Simon Saint's Future State plans have served their purpose. Because it's time for his big experiment […]
It's Miracle Molly time! James Tynion IV is quitting Batman in November, in order to focus on his creator-owned line, including his Substack Comics, The Blue Book, and The Department Of Truth: Wild Fictions. He is also using his Substack subscription to talk about his many frustrations working for DC Comcis (and the good stuff […]
"I would have words with thee", spoken by Marvel Comics' version of Thor wasn't exactly a catchphrase right from the beginning, was certainly part of its lexicon. Initially, it was just that. Thor wanted to chat about something. That was all. Nothing more than that. But in a scene drawn by George Perez, with the […]
In Rorschach #1 by Tom King and Jorge Fornes, an unauthorised sequel to Watchmen published by DC Comics, we learned of a copy of a tape by Wil Myerson, a character based on Steve Ditko and who takes up the Rorschach identity in 2020, before trying, and failing to assassinate the Presidential candidate Turley. The tape is based […]
Everyone knows that I will clown Tom Taylor to the end of time for writing a John Constantine comic book set in the UK in which all the police, what ever their level, including traffic wardens, were all packing heat. Given that the one thing most people know outside of the UK about British police […]
As Bleeding Cool previously reported, today sees the release of Batman: Urban Legends #2 from DC Comics continuing the story of Jason Todd, Red Hood, crossing the line. Shooting an unrepentant small-time drug dealer, who was going to continue to cause trouble for his partner and their young child, without any qualms. So Jason Todd […]
It's a brand new day for Barbara Gordon, formerly Batgirl, now Oracle again, in today's DC Comics titles. Featuring prominently in both The Joker #2 and Batman: Urban Legends #2 even if she doesn't have her own solo title any more. More on that to come as well. As we had previously stated The Joker […]
Welcome to the Daily LITG. The world can seem like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but there are highlights. At Bleeding Cool, you can still read all about comics, merch, TV shows, games, movies, and more. But today, comic shops across England are reopening en masse6, the Daily Lying In The Gutters remains a […]
We're over a third of the way through 2021. I know, it feels like we should still be in January, right? But will any comic book, from mainstream, independent or small press in 2021, meet the madness of Rorschach #7, published by DC Comics tomorrow? And it's going to need one of these big boys. […]
Heroes Reborn is a new Avengers-focussed event from Jason Aaron running through May and June. Heroes Reborn #1 is going to FOC tonight. Which is possibly how we have found ourself with a few teaing spoilers. Nothing, I think, that will ruin the comic. But might give you a greater idea of the world that […]
I get the feeling this is going to be debated for some time. Did Spider-Man kill Gwen Stacy by stopping her fall? What did the Joker do to Barbara Gordon when he captured her in The Killing Joke? And now it's Jason Todd, Red Hood's turn to go under the spotlight. Jason Todd has killed […]
Rorschach, the unauthorised sequel to Watchmen by Tom King and Jorge Fornes, published by DC Comics. Published this week, Rorschach #7 looks to follow up directly from Rorschach #6. Which should not be a surprise. And we are seeing The Detective following up on the lives of Laura Cummings and Wil Myerson, both of them […]

It's Gordon time! Two weeks ago, Bleeding Cool ran a big Gotham Gossip spoiler about the upcoming The Joker #2 comic book by James Tynion IV and Guillem March from DC Comics. That comic (with its new controversial $5.99 price point) is published this coming Tuesday. And spoilers are already beginning to leak. Hence the […]
This morning, Bleeding Cool learned some interesting Bane-related Gotham Gossip for The Joker #2, out from DC Comics next week. That it would feature a brand new Batman villain, called Lady Bane. Well, it was wrong. Just not entirely. But, it was pretty damn close. Here's the scoop. Because now comic book stores who ordered […]
Gotham Gossip: In last year's Joker War Zone, the joker made a trip to Arkham Asylum to berate the captured Bane for killing Alfred Pennyworth in front of Damian Wayne, Robin, rather than in front of Bruce Wayne, Batman. That it was a wasted death. And that he would have his revenge on Bane. In […]
