When Mark Millar's magazine CLiNT from Titan Comics was published several years ago, it ran a talent competition called Space Oddities, where unpublished comic book creators were encouraged to submit short stories for inclusion in the magazine Initially it ran smoothly for the first round, with a couple of people seeing their stories included But[...]

So, this week sees the publication of the final issue of Mark Millar's CLiNT And it's the first such edition without a Mark Millar comic in it Instead, the magazine is filled with previews of upcoming Titan Comics publications, interviews with their creators and a feature on the Kick Ass 2 movie. But we also find[...]

After increasingly delayed issues, poor performance on the UK news stand it was intended for, and a disappearance from Titan's online promotion efforts, Bleeding Cool had been asking Titan Comics if Mark Miller's CLiNT magazine was to be cancelled after it's upcoming Film Special issue. We kept getting no comments, or changed conversations. Today, Titan released the[...]

Bleeding Cool has covered issues regarding the Space Oddities feature in the magazine CLiNT An open spot, Millar put an open call out for short stories from new creators to run in each issue He publicly bought a first wave of stories, which were published He then stated he would buy a second wave Which[...]

The CLiNT Facebook pages are full of people complaining about the timeliness of the anthology magazine published by Titan. But it looks like we might be getting an answer to the future of the mag, and confirmation on the reasons for delays. Looking at the solicitations for June, Anthony Woods asked on Millarworld; Third month in a row[...]

But concern that Mark Millar's CLiNT would run out of Mark Millar material before Nemesis 2 and Jupiter's Legacy came along may be assuaged by… CLiNT being rather late instead. The December issue, featuring Hit Girl and Secret Service may not be out until the end of the January Even while publisher Titan has been advertising[...]

Schrodt and I am best known for my contribution to Mark Millar's CLiNT Magazine and for my ongoing webcomic Dear Dinosaur (found every Thursday at www.twoforonecomics.com) In the spirit of Christmas, I am giving all of you a very special gift today…a sneak peek at my upcoming graphic novel, How the Krampus Saved Christmas. How the[...]

When CLiNT Magazine relaunched earlier this year, the title changed to Mark Millar's CLiNT But with Secret Service and Hit Girl approaching the end of their serialisation in CLiNT  – what's next? Nemesis 2 from Millar and McNiven was delayed from September to January, but now it's been bumped to at least February, Jupiter's Children has[...]

You know, I'm starting to worry for  the now-named Mark Millar's CLiNT With Jupiter's Children and Nemesis 2 both delayed until next year, are we going to get to a point where Mark Millar's CLiNT runs out of Mark Millar material to print? Will we see Unfunnies, Shadowmen and Saviour pulled out from the bottom[...]

It's what most people called it, now it's official, the new issue of CLiNT has been titled Mark Millar's CLiNT It has also begun republishing Death Sentence, which you may have first read about on Bleeding Cool last year. Also, the pre-publication and published covers have slight differences… the Kick Ass and Supercrooks movie features got[...]

Bleeding Cool has reported on issues that CLiNT Magazine has had over its Space Oddities strip, intended to be a home for brand new talent, who applied through the Millarworld message boards And the first fun seemed to go rather well, Mark picks his favourites and they ran in early issues of the magazine. But then[...]

Because you don't get more top flight than those two. In the next issue of CLiNT (in the hands of certain lucky people now), Bryan Hitch shows off some preview art Here is a brief example of that; The magazine describes the comic, based on a superpowered reality show as the only way for people to deal[...]

The next issue of CLiNT Magazine accidentally shipped to comic stores three weeks ahead of schedule, requiring Diamond to request that shops not sell the comic Even thought it had already been on sale for days at Forbidden Planet and in a number of bookstores. Nevertheless, most seem to have complied. Most. I've been sent a number of[...]

I understand that certain stores in the UK have received CLiNT Magazine #15 three weeks a week earlier than intended – including part of the final chapter of Kick Ass 2, before the final issue is published by Marvel next week. It also has a special Supercrooks "prelude" that won't appear in the Marvel version It's[...]

It took the global recession to make this comic happen. Writer Gordon Mclean took his redundancy cheque and, along with selling off his Playstation games

In this parody of American political advertising to relaunch CLiNT Magazine as CLiNT 2.0 that you may have read about at Bleeding Cool last week, they seem to have made some basic errors. While they do attack both Marvel's $3.99 comics and DC's Before Watchmen, they also include the line "Mark Millar approves this message" which,[...]

CLiNT Magazine from Titan Publishing has had an interesting run Initially launched as a Mark Millar-themed way to get comic books into news stands with high profile names such as Jonathan Ross and Frankie Boyle for the UK mainstream market, the magazine lost supermarket and independent news stand distribution, though remains prominent in national[...]

I think that's correct. A prelude Supercrooks story by Mark Millar (and, by absentia, not Leinil Yu) will appear in March's copy of CLiNT magazine and, apparently, won't appear anywhere else. Though I'll bet you it will appear in the eventual trade paperback. Just not in the Marvel comic It's one way to get some more original material[...]

In this month-and-a-half's CLiNT Magazine, out later this week, Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar talk about their new comic book, The Secret Service, created with movie director, producer and writer Matthew Vaughn. This comic holds a special place in Bleeding Cool's heart, as it was the subject of our very first story two and a half[...]

When CLiNT magazine was first announced, featuring Mark Millar's comics, Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards' Turf and Frankie Boyle's Rex Royd, they were accompanied by Space Oddities, a regular short featuring the work of new contributors, who submitted their work on Mark Millar's website For many it was their first professional published work. Another round[...]

The couple were caught when they trued to get the photos developed and a friend wasn't working at the developer that day… …anyway that's what I was reminded of when I picked up the new issue of CLiNT #10 this week, with more pages from Kick Ass 2 yet to be seen in the Marvel printing[...]

CLiNT #10 is the first issue in CLiNT's new rejigged six-weekly schedule, out on August 18th in the UK. Except it's coming out seven weeks after the previous issue. Maybe Joe Casey and Chris Burnham's Officer Downe, debuting in this issue, can have a word and repeat future tardiness Also look for a feature on the making[...]

The biggest change to CLiNT#9, in UK shops tomorrow and US shops in a month, is the lack of articles. CLiNT was always sold as a collection of comics and articles, with an eye on the newstand mainstream market, almost with comics snuck in there, initially at least, And it was the articles that suffered the[...]

The new issue of CLiNT out on Thursday has a piece on the upcoming Supercrooks comic by Mark Millar and Leinil Yu from Marvel. Set amongst a group of American supervialains who have left America for European shores, welcome to Ocean's Super Eleven, including Bastard, TK McCabe, Johnny Bolt, Kasey-Anne, The Fog and The Praetorian… but[...]

And in the BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL section we have Clint – Mark Millar – Titan Grandville Mon Amour – Bryan Talbot – Jonathan Cape Neonomicon – Alan Moore & Jacen Burrows – Avatar The Mountains of Madness – Ian Culbard – Self Made Hero Unwritten Vols 1 &[...]

Oh look, they found a way to get a Green Lantern ring on the cover. The new issue of CLiNT magazine is out in the UK, just as the previous issue hits the USA You know, we get US comics hours before the Americans get theirs – yet it takes a month for the US to[...]

Cost: 3.99. Cost per comics page: 5 1/2 pence. Old comic book pages: 59 – Twenty-four pages of Superior #1, twelve pages of American Jesus, twelve pages of Turf #4, eleven pages of The Pro. New comic book pages: 13 – Nine pages of Kick Ass 2 #2, four pages of Ian Rankin and Stephen Daly's Someone Got[...]

Here's a first look at the cover of CLiNT #6, now out sometime in March And, it seems, with the finale of the second issue of Kick Ass 2 Which will come first, the Marvel publication or the CLiNT publication is anyone's guess. And while Scottish-crime-writer-and creator-of-Rebus Ian Rankin's name is a welcome a high profile[...]

But you do get is another  six pages of Kick Ass 2 #2, still yet to be published by Marvel. CLiNT's biggest strength, and something I've rarely seen mentioned, is its size The new Kick Ass material is fun and all, as the supervillain motif starts to spread through the comic, with all of the foreboding[...]

Frankie Boyle, author of Rex Royd in CLiNT, and famed British stand up comedian is in trouble in the UK, for a joke he made about glamour model Jordan's obese, blind, disabled young son, Harvey. In his new "no limits" TV show Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights on Channel 4, as part of a standup set he[...]
