This afternoon, Forbidden Planet Megastore in London was host to a signing for the new Death's Head original series collection that was a real murderer's row. Death's Head creators Simon Furman and Geoff Senior were there, also pushing their self-published series To The Death, with an early release of its final tenth issue. But also Watchmen (and […]
Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch and Kevin Nowlan are halfway through their series The Batman's Grave, and are going to take a planned month's publishing break to get caught up. But that break won't be reflected in the collection. Because, it appears, rather that twp 6-issue series, DC Comics will be going for the full twelve-issue […]
There is no Alfred in today's The Batman's Grave #5 by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, which is a crying shame, as recent issues' highlights have revolved around just what insult, criticism or takedown Alfred Pennyworth is going to throw Bruce Wayne's way – and maybe even that he is a figment of Bruce's imagination, […]
Today sees the publication of Wonder Woman #750, and it kicks off the new DC Timeline. The byword for the new timeline, four generations worth with a fifth to come, it that everything happened. Everything matters. Everything is in canon, in one way or another. We heard that it would be the strip from Scott […]
Bleeding Cool had the tip-off that evidence of 5G and the new DC Comics Timeline we have been talking about for quite a while, would officially appear in an already-solicited comic book from DC Comics, something out in the first third of the year. We came up with a list of possibles. One on that […]
I didn't see it in The Batman's Grave first two issues but it's there if you look. And clearer in a couple of very specific panels. Because Bryan Hitch is using Sir David Niven as a model for Alfred Pennyworth. You know David Niven? That's the fellow. English actor, memoirist and novelist, notable acting […]
Yesterday I ran the theory that Bruce Wayne, in The Batman's Grave, is imagining Alfred Pennyworth. As Alfred Pennyworth is dead. Which may explain Pennyworth going a little off the rails in his commentary to Bruce Wayne – it is Bruce criticising himself. You know that was 'tits' in the first draft, right? Batman Damned […]
Wonder Woman #750 was solicited as written by Vita Ayala, Marguerite Bennett, Kami Garcia, Dean Hale, Jeff Loveness, Steve Orlando, Greg Rucka, Gail Simone, Mariko Tamaki and others, and drawn by Elena Casagrande, Colleen Doran, Jesus Merino, Gabriel Picolo and others, with a main cover by Joelle Jones.

Last month saw Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nolan and Alex Sinclair give us The Batman's Grave #1 from DC Comics, including an Alfred Pennyworth on the whisky who had some suggestions for Bruce Wayne. Today, the UK left-wing political movement Momentum that supports Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party, echoed such sentiments in a […]
Late comics into London this week saw be go digital. Which is also how I missed out on another Snickers ad managing to destroy a perfectly good comic book story. In the past we have had Snickers ads drawn by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado that seemed to follow on from one of the comic […]
Today sees the publication of Year Of The Villain: Lex Luthor #1 from Jason Latour and Bryan Hitch, that sees the Apex Lex Luthor travelling the multiverse collecting other Lex Luthors along the way.

We have a Bryan Hitch combination cover for Legion of Super-Heroes: Millenium #1, with the joining cover planned for the second and final issue of the mini-mini-series. We have the combination cover for Harley Quinn & Poison […]
Warren Ellis seems to have popularised the habit of referring to upcoming projects by codenames to get around any annoying NDA-style restrictions, talking to his audience about his process. Now everyone seems to be doing it. Anyway, in his latest newsletter, he revealed that PROJECT TRICOLR was his codename for the newly announced The Batman's […]
DC Comics has revealed the name and launch date of the upcoming Batman project by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch. DC's blog has the official press release, though of course you heard it here first at Bleeding Cool back in March (pip pip). Kevin Nowlan will ink the 12-issue maxi-series, which is called The Batman's Grave. […]

Jason Latour, Bryan Hitch, and Andrew Currie will create a one-shot, Lex Luthor: Year of the Villain #1, in which Lex takes a travels the multiverse and meets interesting other Lex Luthors… and then destroys them?! […]
So. An hour ago, Bleeding Cool ran an unaired clip from tomorrow night's The Jonathan Ross Show, in which Bryan Hitch got to meet Samuel L Jackson, the man he made Nick Fury in The Ultimates all of seventeen years ago. Hell, we'll run it again below, it's a really cool clip, and Brie Larson […]
