Oh, some people are going to be rather annoyed about this. I'd heard the rumour, but it has now gone official on Diamond's website and retailers are expected to be informed by DC Comics later today. The first Punchline cover, featuring the new girlfriend of The Joker, drawn by Stanley 'Artgerm' Lau, was to have […]
Here's a look at Pepe Larraz's new cover for the House Of X/Powers Of X hardcover, hitting comic book stores on December 11th, and bookstores on December 24th. A two week lead for the direct market, handy in the run-up to Christmas. That's the standard cover, while the Direct Market-only version not available to bookstores […]
We thought for a minute we had lost it. Spawn #302 was solicited as a $3.99 comic book. The only remaining Image Comics title at that price point, and the only one amongst the main comic book publishers, aside from Looney Tunes and Scooby-Doo comic books over at DC Comics. SPAWN #302 WRITER: Todd McFarlane ARTIST: Jason […]
Viewers are less than a month away from Netflix's series adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's graphic novel series The Umbrella Academy – and after last week's release of the official trailer, February 15th can't get here soon enough. Helping to set the tone for the mayhem to come – and teased in the trailer – is comic book writer […]
In a shocking interview, superstar writer "The Great One" Brian Bendis ordered a collaborator to make a "purposely bad cash-grab comic." And no, we're not talking about Civil War 2. Bendis was chatting with DCComics.com about Cover, his new creator-owned comic with superstar artist David Mack about a comic book creator who gets pulled into […]
Comic artist Max Fields is approached by a strange woman named Julia at a comic convention who is a big fan of his work. She buys thousands of dollars' worth of his work. At another convention, Max runs into Julia again, and she buys more of his art and takes him out to dinner. There, […]
If you've ever wondered why Marvel comics seem to make less and less sense within the shared continuity of their own universe, with characters appearing in multiple books in the same months on completely different adventures and world-threatening events like invading celestial hosts going apparently unnoticed in other titles, perhaps Marvel Executive Vice President Tom […]
The panel kicked off with a well-deserved awarding of Comic-Con International's Inkpot Award to David Mack for his contributions to comics, television, film, and humanity. Next the panel moderator Wendy Browne from Women Write About Comics. kicked off the panel by showing a music video that Mack did for Amanda Palmer's song 'Pulp Fiction' that was […]
DC Comics are to publish the final issue of their Kamandi Challenge project, with randomly paired teams creating an exquisite corpse of a comic book story. And with the last issue teaming Gail Simone and Ryan Sook, with one of the late Len Wein's last stories with Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, it will also be accompanied by a cover […]
Just revealed at the Marvel's Next Big Thing panel at C2E2, we have been shown this cover to the oversized Marvel Legacy one-shot that launches the big Marvel Legacy rebranding that is part of Marvel's yearly refresh. First up, this cover by Joe Quesada is gorgeous. I mean just….GORGEOUS. But something sticks out a bit. […]
This sold extremely well yesterday I'm assuming due to @bleedingcool. We're almost out. https://t.co/SrM9IetNbQ — Twilite Zone (@TZComics) August 18, 2016 Last Wednesday, Bleeding Cool ran a story about the parody comic Spawn Kills Everyone #1 by Todd McFarlane and JJ Kirby. It involved the assassination of a cosplayer dressed as Donald Trump at San Diego Comic-Con. It […]

This is the retailer exclusive cover to Civil War II #0 from Wonderworld Comics by Phil Noto. And this is what it riffs off… Though it also seems to have this kind of vibe as well.
Outcast by Kirkman & Azecata takes the front of next week's Diamond Previews for comics shipping in July, as the Cinemax TV show makes its way to broadcast. While DC Comics' Justice League: Rebirth #1 and Justice League #1 take the back cover. Premier publisher titles spotlighted by Diamond's Gems include Bounty by Kurtis Wiebe and […]
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 certainly had a lot of exclusive retailer and event covers to help launch it. Selling over 100,000 should put it into the top ten, even in a month of Batman #50, Avengers Standoff and the like. But one is going to be really hard to get, at least for ten months. […]
The C-3PO comic book from Marvel intended to reveal the true story behind the droid's new red arm, as seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens – and that has been rather delayed as a result – is getting another boost to sales. Any retailers confident enough to order over a thousand copies will get […]
You first read about them on Bleeding Cool. We listed as many as we could. Well, more are making it out into the wide wide world. Blank cover versions of the Harley Quinn Little Black Bag variant covers that ran through January, with original art from major comic creators, slipped in. And we now have more from […]
We mentioned that Marvel was to launch a new series of variant covers called "Classic", hiring veteran creators associated with a character (maybe). It hasn't been announced yet as a line, but here are a few more. Deadpool #8 will have a classic variant by Howard Chaykin. Doctor Strange #6 will have a classic variant by […]
This is one of the Harley Quinn original cover art sketches that have been placed inside DC Comics Harley Quinn's Little Black Book bagged variant covers. Due to federal lottery laws, DC Comics have not promoted them – or even admitted they exist. But people believe there are one or two per issue. Which makes […]
This is Ben Caldwell's original art cover sketch for the Harley Quinn black bag variant cover edition, slipped into a random issue of the black bagged Wonder Woman #47. And, it seems, no one has found it yet. Is it sitting in a back issue box unopened? Sitting in a pull list, waiting not to […]
