Bleeding Cool has learnt from a number of sources that DC Comics' Next Big Thing will be a focus on the villains of the DC Universe, and introducing a raft of bad guy characters to books, many of whom will be making their debut in the New 52. Different villains will be assigned to different heroes,[...]

Now that's what I call a glitch. It's already at a massive discount on Amazon.com, the superhero-hunting Marshal Law Deluxe hardcover, down from a perfectly reasonable $49.99 to just $28.27, 43% off with free shipping Many American retailers may be tempted to stock up on those terms. It's a steal but it's not a glitch. However in the[...]

From the new issue of Justice League Dark, a conspiratorial look across the New 52 DC Universe, giving some major hints as to the way a number of books will be going, and the upcoming Trinity War. We also get the name of one of the wizards, The Apache… and that he has a successor like[...]

The combination of super speed from such an ungainly form does make this quite a bizarre and entertaining book to read, and we continue to get the second most artistically innovative DC book on the stands in The Flash. While Jonah Hex just gives us spectacular budydy moment like this one There is no way in[...]

In today's Batman Inc, we go to the future. One we've previously glimpsed in which The Joker takes his ultimate revenge on Batman. A real end times story

Batman And Robin issue 14 revealed that both it, and issue 13 to some degree, were part of the Death Of The Family storyline, even if the book only gets a

I grow old… I grow old… I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. – TS Eliot LET[...]

Some of you may remember when I tried to make an art collage for the We Can Be Heroes campaign for DC Comics I failed by the way, three times It was too much for me to do visually Still, I plan to complete it before We Can Be Heroes is over In the meantime,[...]

Last week Bleeding Cool pointed out that DC titles were available through ComiXology on Wednesday at 9am GMT, 4am ET and 1am PT We thought it may have been an error It wasn't. It coincides with DC's decision to distribute individual comic titles through Kindle, Nook and the like, and the coinciding of distribution titles across[...]

Blame the new Jaffa Cake-flavoured doughnuts in Greggs (seriously). But a few DC comics won't be making their way to British comic stores this week, delayed until the week after. They are Blue Beetle #14, The Unwritten #43, Fables #123, Hellblazer #297 and Justice League #14 – but only the digital combo version. The regular version and variants[...]

But still… Count, count, count…. In February, in the New 52, DC Comics publishes… only 51 monthly titles After Threshold gave us 53 in January, now we're back down to 51. There is the Valentine's Day Special, of course, featuring the first New 52 work from the likes of Andy Diggle and Phil Jimenez, but then in March.[...]

Geoff Johns and Gary Frank have just had this rather fun exchange on Twitter. And announced what many were waiting for. Honored BATMAN: EARTH-ONE by me

Christmas is the ideal time to see big family-friendly stage shows. But not if they involve Batman apparently. The high profile Batman Live! show (which

Watch it. Just watch it. You'll thank me. Or hit me. One of the two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BjTsjgk3Lg

  Seriously, Nightwing? Why the hell are you beating up on X-O Manowar? What has that cross between Iron Man and Fred Flintstone ever done to you?

"My CEO collects comic books and art. I found this in the corner of one of his storage rooms..." That's a Joker art piece, personalised to the CEO in

I'm not the biggest fan of running infographics on Bleeding Cool. Usually a barely-disguised advert for something trying to get free coverage with little

Is it too early to talk about next week's comics? Never! Obviously Bleeding Cool Magazine #1, that's going to be your big draw next week and I'll slap anyone who says it isn't. But there's also some fuss around something called Amazing Spider-Man #698, I suppose there's a new Justice League, the IDW Judge Dredd comic[...]

The new Justice League Of America #1, from DC Comics in February, is a $3.99 comic. Retailers can order these, with their new discount, as usual, picking the one of the 52 different covers for each state.

At the Paris Comics Expo recently, author[...]

Never goes down well. Seriously Joker? Nothing better to do than take a look at Deadshot's dead sausage, then give it a trim? You know what? Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the DC New 52 can publish a John Constantine worthy of the name… And so The Boys ends As often with a Garth Ennis book, most[...]

Take a peek folks. Just checked, I've just downloaded the new Demon Knights. Ten hours before I would usually have been able to. Is this an error? Or the

If he is a God, then Gotham's criminal element are his worshipers. The idea of crime as a religion isn't a new idea in the DC universe, but never before has a hero been its chief deity The Joker demonstrates why he isn't any ordinary member of the congregation The Joker isn't motivated by greed or[...]
