I take the responsibility, I think it took a little while for people to really adopt the characters, which was a conscious choice but also a risky one in this very cautious market where people have to be extra careful of which books they choose. Whenever a book is cancelled, people often get mad at the[...]

From an email response this morning after making enquiries... ...looks like this story might be on the money then. UPDATE: Second shoe dropped on Twitter.

All of that is going to befall a young woman we are going to introduce in the DC Universe who is going to be "chosen as the new lucky owner" of this ring. So that means the marriage of Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris, and the survival of John Stewart into old age, are both well[...]

He got snaffled up by DC Comics to work on their PR side, rising to Publicity Manager, before jumping to Archie Comics for a promotion as Executive Director Of Publicity before returning to to DC as their Executive Director Of Publicity. I can always tell where Alex is working down to whether or not he's allowed[...]

Frankenstein, currently appearing in the DC New 52 in Justice League Dark is going to be making a central appearance in the upcoming Future's End weekly comic. But before that, in May, it seems that he will be joining Peter Tomasi's Batman And… series, giving us Batman And Frankenstein. I mean, you kind of had a Batman[...]

Who, cosplaying as Batgirl, asked DC Comics panel after panel awkward questions about the treatment of female characters and use of female creators in the New 52, especially the status of Stephanie Brown To the extent that DC Comics started having meetings about the issue, promising changes and taking such issues into account moving on. Kyrax[...]

A couple of months ago, Gifted, Little League and JL8's Yale Stewart posted on Instagram. "Barring any editorial changes, I just finished production on my

Welcome to another week of comic book thinking. The London underground tube strike was called off, and I was able to get into town without any trouble.

Well, you seemed to like it last week. So let's do it again... To quote Mallrats "what, in the back seat of a Volkswagen?" Welcome, one and all to another

It is very rare that Bleeding Cool runs a "Final Page Spoiler", where we run the final page of a comic book the day it comes out., It happens sometimes,

Letting you express emotion through DC characters with manga stylings. I do like Power Girl eating a hamburger Everything you need to know about America, right there. There's nothing quite like seeing one culture through the eyes of another These are new  Superman manga "stickers" from Japanese chat app, Line Letting you express emotion through DC[...]

Bleeding Cool understands that Mark Doyle, currently a DC/Vertigo editor, will be the new Batman Group editor at DC Comics. He replaces the departing Mike Marts, who was escorted out of the DC offices by security, as is standard, after he announced he was moving back to work at Marvel Comics. One slight blip is that Mark[...]

As I promised before, NO SPOILERS. ———————— I remember a few SDCCs ago when Dan Didio mentioned that the reason DC had slimmed down its Elseworlds output was that often times, the Elseworlds were cooler than the main universe At the time, I took this to mean that writing an Elseworld was like playing in a sandbox;[...]

I think it should come out every year in September month to boost DC's numbers, with maybe a surprise issue one year ahead of the others. You could schedule it for three Septembers and a January. It was originally solicited to come out in December, two months after issue 1. But Sandman Overture #2 by Neil Gaiman[...]

Let them know that it was supposed to be monthly after this but they weren't happy! DC fans were extremely happy to see Forever Evil finally drop They have been foaming at the mouth for it, and seemed to be quite happy with the issue. Supergirl becoming a Red Lantern has driven up sales on Supergirl,[...]

But in both cases, dominating DC Comics, who have seen their dollar share rise from 27.22% to 28.06% and their unit share fall from 31.13% to 30.77% Again, slightly less sales, but charging slightly more. So where has the marketshare gone? Simply, Image Comics And probably down to The Walking Dead going bi-weekly Image's dollar share has[...]

This is how the world ends, with the final page of Forever Evil #5. And this is that bit from Christmas' Doctor Who: The Time Of The Doctor. In Swipe File

Last week we noted how Earth 2 Annual #2 changed the name of the bad guy from Francesco Francavilla, the same name as the comics artist, to that of Falcone. In this weeks Earth 2 #20 , we meet the character Red Arrow who James Robinson said would be named Roy McQueen. Instead he was revealed as being[...]

The new DC All Access video will be going live at 10am PT But Bleeding Cool has been granted a sneak preview (by reality). Firstly, yes indeed it is John Romita Jr on the laptop Dan DiDio and Geoff Johns were teasing. And yes, he's doing Superman with Geoff Johns. And secondly we do get to see a[...]

Here are the boys at play... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlxWXjFL3mE Could it be this? Married with this? Yes, yes, I think it is. But we find out

I was, yes, hooked. It didn't take long, though it was a slow process to start, for Mattel to enter into the ring, when they expanded their Batman toy license to a series of gradually improving and expanding figures in terms of character selection, which came to be known as DC Universe Classics, which emerged right[...]

Indeed many people just watch it for those (cue Brendon Connelly on the right hand side of Bleeding Cool hunched over his US IP late tonight). Stan Lee and Todd McFarlane are going to see the game together, as McFarlane releases American Football figures, with Stan supporting the Seahawks. And Sporting News is happy cover geek references[...]

Ahead of John Romita Jr joining as artist on the book, I'm told by a good newspaper source of mine that Geoff Johns will be writing it. Look for DC Comics to give that a bit of media play shortly. The current creative team is Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort, so with Teen Titans and Red Hood[...]
