I'd contacted him awhile back wondering if he'd be interested in writing a piece on my adventures as a cartoonist in the wild world of comics and to possibly talk about my self-published comic MAN FROM SPACE It seems he runs they a pretty cool paper, interested in what was really going on in the[...]

Dingle, Christopher Priest, and I founded Milestone Media. Milestone was a worldwide phenomenon when it launched, and it sold millions. Our groundbreaking arrangement with DC Comics, the largest joint venture deal ever done in comics, is still the gold standard for independent publishers seeking distribution with a major one. 20 years later, Milestone is still regarded as the[...]

There have been a rash of very poorly executed "rough drafts" of the Wizard Magazine  #205 cover by Whilce Portacio and Todd McFarlane, with equally

I'm shocked sometimes I'll be at shows and a Browncoat will walk up and say, There's Serenity COMICS! Our niche industry needs to do a better job getting the word out there. Yeah, okay, um, that's probably my fault The march starts here! So how do Browncoats compare to Buffy fans in your experience? That is a[...]

The Comedy Comics Magazine The Devastator ran a poll among indie comics creators to learn what their needs are when it comes to conventions and shows in an effort to help make those shows more welcoming for creator-owned projects The wide array of shows that the survey ended up reporting on is truly impressive, including[...]

Plus another exclusive variant with Cards, Comics, and Collectibles. Day Men #1 was a big hit for BOOM! With a potentially under-ordered issue #2, are we looking at more aftermarket heat and a potential sold out status?   Bleeding Cool has been tracking the BOOM! Studios original series, Day Men, since before the first issue released The[...]

Two weeks before Christmas, And all through offices Not a creature was stirring Except for some promises. A letter was sitting On the co-publisher's desk From a reader, a subscriber Who was feeling most vexed. "I'm appalled" said the letter. "I live out in Devon. And I won't get Detective Comics #27". I'm far from a shop I'm far from a store And the start of Gothtopia I won't see[...]

This is all very well timed for… that. Batman: The Dark Knight writer Gregg Horwitz posted, in what now seems to be DC's official policy of announcing the end of comics by getting the writers to do it on their personal blogs; Batman is forever, but sadly not all of his titles are Batman: The Dark Knight[...]

Lots of comics, available free from your local comic book store, a mix of reprints and new material, all with the intention of grabbing new eyes to the medium, and teasing upcoming comics for old hands. It's only 142 days folks! Get with it! First up, the Gold comics, which every participating retailer has to order to[...]

A lot better than any expected, with Jeff Lemire, Travel Foreman, Steve Pugh and more, driving the character forward, gaining fans and, it seemed, also gave us the only married lead character in the New 52. Well, that wasn't going to be allowed to last was it? Jeff Lemire writes; My run as the writer of Animal Man,[...]

David Morrell, creator of Rambo, had been recruited for a top secret, behind enemy lines mission, scripting a copy of the Spider-Man comic book.

The top advanced reordered comic for last week… suddenly no longer existed. Detective Comics #27 Cover B used to be the Frank Miller cover But then DC Comics cancelled the cover So the entire order for that separately-ordered variant has gone… poof! And since FOC was set before the cover was cancelled, retailers may well not[...]

As you say, so much has been built up about him in film, television, comics, and post-Doyle Holmes novels and short stories, so the real trick, I thought, was to ignore everything I thought I knew about Moriarty and go back to the source Rather than that being difficult, it's more of a blank check[...]

2D Cloud, an independent publisher handling some of the most notable darlings of the indie comics circuit, produces comic works in a wide array of formats and styles, but the guarantee is that they'll be weird and wonderful In the lead up to Christmas, they've announced five big books coming in 2014, and also a[...]

When Five Years Later was first envisioned at DC Comics, it was designed to fix a few of the continuity goofs that had happened when the New 52 was launched. Well, from today's Justice League #25, here's another to add to the pile. Rather well executed, we get the origin of the New 52 version of Plastic[...]

Welcome to another massive week for comics, and I'm writing live from my local comic shop, Conquest Comics in New Jersey I may have been elevated to the dizzying heights of EIC here at Bleeding Cool, but very little can keep me out of my local shop on a Wednesday, particularly when I saw the[...]

And two days previously, comic shops will have the 20 Years of Hellboy hardcover collection from the first sketch of the character to the present day. Mignola will himself be appearing at Meltdown Comics and Collectibles in West Hollywood, CA John Byrne will be at home watching Star Trek reruns. And then on Wednesday, March 26th, Avatar[...]

We mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, along with a major Obama-related spoiler, but Stephen Colbert also makes his appearance in animal-zombie-comic

Sovereign is a new comic from Chris Roberson, published by Image Comics in March If you want a high concept, how about Lord Of The Rings But With Black People As Well. Clumsily inaccurate, but as Roberson puts it; So many of the fantasy stories I encountered growing up were set in worlds that were largely modeled[...]

Previewed in last week's Elephantmen, Jonathan Ross and Ian Churchill's The Revenger from Image Comics, will undergo a name change by the time it's published January. I'm told it will now be called "Revenge" but the lead character will still be called The Revenger. Turns out another webcomic had the same name (it might be this one)[...]

A quick flick through a few of this week's comics, in the most popular regular column on Bleeding Cool, X Thoughts About X Comics Get in touch if you want your comic book featured…   From Uber #8, Joe Stalin works on a strapline for Nike He'll get there eventually, when he gets a little more frustrated.

Over at the Associated Press, DC Comics has handed them the news that DC Comics will be publishing a weekly comic set five years in the DC New 52 future to be written by  Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Brian Azzarello and Dan Jurgens. Feel free to click here for a Nikki Finke-style Toldja. Bleeding Cool did get[...]

Could it be? The beginning of that much cherished tradition? Exclusive signing wars? Where companies take the talents of a creator solely for themselves,

From Mark Millar's Image Comics interview, talking about nine of ten new Millarworld titles planned over the next three years, he mentions three artists. Sean Gordon Murphy, Jae Lee, Bryan Hitch Well, we had identified one of them, albeit for the wrong project… But Millar was ambitious talking about how not only will these stories tie in together[...]

Hang on, haven't we already done this? And the big reveal at the end… hadn't we already had this? Pretty snowscenes though.   Suicide Squad #25 During the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover of the eighties that kicked all this current event nonsense off, there was such a thing as a Red Sky crossover, where in some comics,[...]
