On the final day of C2E2, for one day only, fans were treated to an hour of the Star Trek Enterprise's greatest captain. William Shatner came out to a shouting and standing crowd and the fans were immediately engaged in Shatner's wonderful knack for storytelling. Sitting close to the front of the audience, Shatner goes […]
On Sunday, March 1st, at C2E2 2020, I caught up with Richard Pace. He told me all about "Second Coming, Volume 1" which is drawn by him, written by Mark Russell and published by Ahoy Comics. Additionally, we talked about superheroes, Chicago pizza, Jesus Christ and the petition that was launched to try and get […]
At C2E2 in Chicago last weekend, DC Comics sent a crew to calm people's nerves about DC's future.

While sketching on panel at C2E2 last weekend, DC Publisher Jim Lee asked the crowd 'heard any good rumours lately?' He was initially talking about rumours launched after the departure from DC of publisher Dan DiDio by the likes of Ethan Van Sciver, that AT&T was planning to shutter DC Comics publishing if their upcoming Bleeding […]
Okay, so lots of rumours and gossip came out of C2E2, and as ever I usually start to get to hear them on the Sunday night of the show, when lips are looser and wetter. One of which is that DC Comics has further plans for Wally West beyond his current Dr Manhattan state, and […]
Look, I never thought I'd be walking the Wolverine dick beat. I thought I'd show up at C2E2, lob some softball questions at creators, eat an Italian Beef or five, haunt Artist Alley til I got all the things signed I brought, then head back home again the way I came to Chicago, a stranger […]
While waiting for the Marvel Women of Panel to start, Marvel Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski came and sat in the front row between me and a writer from another website. I provided this information to my higher-ups at Bleeding Cool [Jude], who asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to ask when Chris […]
The Women of Marvel Panel, a Sunday afternoon tradition at C2E2, proved to be as thoughtful and as fun as past editions of the panel. Host Judy Stephens said this was her 14th year at Marvel and that this panel would be broadcast as a podcast in a few days. As she does every year, […]
The 15 Years of Zenescope panel at C2E2 2020 didn't include any announcements of upcoming books or insights into future projects.

Another first is coming up from the House of Ideas this March. Immortal Hulk #33 is hitting stores on March 25th, and while it will be the 750th issue of Hulk in terms of legacy numbering, it's another milestone that caught our ear at the Next Big Thing panel at C2E2. Bleeding Cool Ace Reporter […]
At the Next Big Thing Panel at C2E2 Saturday, Marvel announced that Black Panther #25 will be writer Ta-Nehisi Coates' final issue on the series.

Once upon a time, Thomas Nachlik drew a comic book I wrote called The Flying Friar. Smallville in 16th century Italy. It was a thing. He's much better known for his work on Beauty from Image Comics, but now he's got a Marvel comic with London writer studio White Noise's Alex Paknadel, part of the […]

Bleeding Cool Ace Reporter David Pierce is on hand at the panel sending us photos of the screens so that you […]
Just on a whim, what with the coronavirus and all, I looked at Airbnb rates for Venice, at the epicentre of European pandemic infection right now. They have palatial places in the very centre of Venice, going for $20 a night. And I was suddenly driven with the idea of host a comic convention there […]
DC Comics opened up the DC Super Heroes panel at C2E2 Saturday by celebrating the tenure of a longtime DC veteran. But unlike the 18-year DC career of Dan Didio which was celebrated with the former DC Publisher's firing earlier this month, Doug Mahnke's 25-year DC career was celebrated in a more fitting fashion: with […]
Imagine coming to C2E2 when your first feature movie comes out in two weeks and for the first time you, Valiant, doesn't have a booth at the show. You do, however, have one panel at C2E2, a Bloodshot panel prior to the release of the movie in two weeks' time. Now keep in mind the […]
In a bizarre statement at the Jim Lee Spotlight Panel at C2E2 Saturday, DC Comics publisher Jim Lee denied rumors DC Comics would be closed or sold off while also claiming that he will live to be 140 years old, which would make him the oldest human to ever live. Newsarama's George R. R. Marston […]
Bleeding Cool has got the word that Marvel is planning on giving away the secret "True Believers" black and white variants to Marvel super fans in Chicago too.
