Two days ago, Bleeding Cool reported that DC Comics had increased the price of the Action Comics #1000 hardcover, planned for April, from $30 to $50 It seems that it had not been mentioned in any DC Newsletters that had gone out to retailers after the change had been made, and that many retailers learned[...]

All the Marvel cancellations made me look at just how the publisher got things off the ground in the 1960's. Surely they made no mistakes... right?

Earlier today, we looked at the gossip coming our way that Ed Brisson was to take over one of Brian Michael Bendis's departed comic books. We dismissed

Every year, Bleeding Cool Magazine runs its Top 100 Power List of members of the comics industry And every year we get told how wrong we are Somehow, it's always for completely different reasons and from completely different directions Why was X in when Y was not? Why is Z is high when W is[...]

Doomsday Clock #2 from DC Comics by Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and Brad Anderson comes out and continues the ongoing mystery of just what is the connection of the Watchmen world and the DC Universe — and what is Doctor Manhattan doing Well, Johns may have added another wrinkle to this mystery with this issue. In[...]

Earlier in the year, Guardians of the Galaxy #151 was cancelled. Bleeding Cool was first to mention it, but writer Gerry Duggan was on hand to assure

So for those collecting the set in the Marvel Value Stamps album, they would be missing one stamp, and wouldn't be able to claim their Marvel Reward points as a result. This is a thing. But never fear! Marvel Comics has realised that some customers have gone without their all-important headshot, and have issued the below stamp[...]

Particularly when you consider my earlier complaint about the limitations inherent in adapting a massive novel into comics with a limited page count But establishing mood is just as important as the more literal aspects of storytelling This is a visual medium, and you cannot be afraid to let the characters perform their roles. PAGE 8: Here[...]

Christmas time and the creative changing gossip gathers round an old country pub fire… Brian Michael Bendis has left Marvel Comics' exclusive deal, as basically writer numero uno there, to sign an exclusive deal with DC Comics, with the hot rumour he'll be writing the Superman ongoing title with artists Ivan Reis and Joe Prado. But what of[...]

Here are a few more Marvel Comics creative change rumours running around at the moment. All mileage may vary; 'tis the season, after all.

Just as the Jean Grey comic book has been cancelled by Marvel Comics but replaced on the schedule by X-Men Red, with Jean Grey leading a mutant X-Men team… …I have been told to look out for something similar happening with the current Weapon X series, which stars various Wolverine-related characters, and replaced by another X-team[...]

UPDATE: Marvel didn't choose to comment on the story below earlier today, but Midtown Comics did A representative of the New York comic store that manages Marvel's subscriptions got in touch to say: Regarding the story about a Marvel Subscriptions customer being informed that Spider-Gwen is being cancelled…that information is/was incorrect If one of our customer[...]

Empire has a new image and comment from director Travis Knight about the upcoming Transformers spinoff film. The image features star Hailee Steinfeld and the old VW Bug that will be Bumblebee in this movie.

Sometimes chase scenes don't work in comics and this one (for me) really works. Page 4: Look, Vampi, I know you can't resist a good one-liner, but we're in the middle of something here Honestly, as hard as chase scenes can be in comics, really demonstrating the pain of falling off a speeding vehicle is even harder[...]

But Thanos #13, which came out last month, with the first chapter of Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw's Thanos storyline, "Thanos Wins" has sold out at Diamond Comic Distributors and Marvel Comics are sending it back to second printing, presumably anticipating increased demand for the first chapter as we get closer to Infinity and Avengers:[...]

Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market Where retailers try to increase their orders of certain comics ahead of sale Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire! And[...]

We're so close to Black Panther already, which is just awesome. All signs point to this movie being something special, and Empire has two more images, plus an interview with Michael B. Jordan.

Hooker. And so when a digital comics distributor put up copies of the TekWar comics under the Tidal Wave imprint, he boldly went to Twitter. Hi! Just as an FYI @TidalWaveProd no longer has the rights to reproduce this comic Their rights under Blue Water expired years ago and my letters, phone calls & emails have been[...]

It was only fitting; out of the ragtag bunch of us writing comics in the 21st century, Len Wein knew Jack Kirby the longest He used to ride his bike over to Jack and Roz's house on Long Island in the early '60s, a mere 11 or 12 years old, but connected to the King[...]

As a comic store owner in Ankeny, Iowa, here is what 2017 looked like to me. Marvel, oh, Marvel — what went wrong? A lot 2017 was the lost year for Marvel[...]

Thanks for joining us for our fourth edition of Happy Trails!, Bleeding Cool’s live-blog of Syfy‘s Happy! and tonight’s second episode, ‘Year of the Horse.” At the end of last week's episode, Christopher Meloni‘s Nick Sax went twelve rounds with Very Bad Santa (Joseph Reitman)... and it did not go well for Sax.

Review of Eugenic #3 from BOOM! Studios by James Tynion IV, Eryk Donovan, Dee Cunniffe, and Jim Campbell, presenting us with a very real horror more horrifying than blood, guts and murder.

Marvel Comics appears to be doing one of their end-of-quarter sales to try and push those sales up with one of their big blowouts on Kindle collections that seems to pop up every time they need a particular sales boost. There are also big sales on ComiXology for Valiant… For IDW… As well as hundreds of Marvel single[...]
