Famed for putting a little purple bit of plastic on a hundred thousand covers that wouldn't stand up properly on the comic shelf as a result, let along a stack on the floor, the Eclipso crossover at DC Comics in the nineties is a merorable one. But… is it back? Here are a few solicits for[...]

After seeing DC's previews for November Batman comics on the DC website, Greg Capullo writes on Twitter; As careful as I've been to save revealing our new Joker, the powers that be have let it out ahead if our book Stay tuned fir MY pics In my younger days, I'd have punched several holes in the walls[...]

On the left, the brand new cover to Justice League #14. On the right, the cover to Justice League #2. Looks like someone will be putting another dollar

Well there's a thing. Much has been made of DC Comics' seeming disdain for the Stephanie Brown character, whether Spoiler, Robin or Batgirl But of late it's been getting ridiculous, wiped from the New 52, ripped out of Batman Inc and recently removed from Smallville in the role of Nightwing, to the extent taht they even[...]

But Saturn was my first love. Getting your rights back from DC Comics can be tricky, even if the work is ostensibly creator owned, as Alan Moore discovered If DC actively wants to get rid of your work, such as Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's The Boys, that can make it easier If you sold nothing,[...]

Co-creator of Sergeant Rock, Tor and Ragman, famed for recreating Hawkman, pursuing war comics, founder of the Kubert School, author of Fax from Sarajevo and father to Adam and Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert has passed away, aged 85. Even now, he had Before Watchmen: Nite Owl on the stands with his own Joe Kubert Presents projects[...]

We love a little Jeremy Roberts and wonder why he hasn't been snapped up by a major comics publisher yet. Here is a private commission piece of Justice

DC Comics are throwing out a whole bunch of trade paperbacks and hardcovers from their warehouses But they are letting retailers clean up at massive discounts first So don't be surprised to see a lot of the stock below in your local comic store in the very near future. And then never ever again… ABC Warriors TP[...]

Louis Falcetti writes for Bleeding Cool; I'll just come right out and say it, if Punk Rock Jesus really is only 6 issues, I'm going to be angrier than a

It's been rumoured that Dave Gibbons was paid somewhere closer to half a million dollars to, basically "bless" the Before Watchmen prequel series with a

Before San Diego Comic Con, I began to hear rumours that Robert Kirkman had been approaching Marvel and DC editorial staff on behalf of his publishing imprint Skybound That seems to have born fruit today. Sina Grace has announced that Kirkman has hired Sean Mackiewicz as a Skybound editor, to replace Grace so he can focus[...]

Earlier today, DC Comics clearly got fed up with Marvel teasing and announcing their November solicitations and decided to drop the bomb concerning their upcoming Super-crossover with Superman, Supergirl and Superboy fighting some bad guy called H'el with a Kryptonian background and a mission to do nasty things to Earth. You know, a bit like Zod,[...]

When I first read Think Tank #1 a few months ago, In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be

Yesterday we showed you three comic books with Tiger action from DC, published yesterday, with spoilers for those who still wanted to retain Tiger surprise. Today, we bring you three characters in DC comics yesterday who were stabbed in the back Again, there are spoilers, if you do not want to know which characters were stabbed[...]

It's rare that books use separate artists like this, Dave Johnson and Travis Charest on WildCATS is a good example, and it doesn't pan off as well as that example, but it's an effective rarely used device. Becky Cloonan is the first female artist on Batman or Detective Comics Doesn't that feel a little weird? [...]

If that is not you then stop reading immediately, because here come the tigers! It used to be that DC Comics would include gorillas to play on gorilla-based interest from their readers Clearly that has switched to the stripey feline contingent, as we count three major tiger uses this week The first is in Ravagers #4,[...]

The second week of the Issue 12s of the New 52. So how are the books holding up compared to last week's look? As we learnt in Wolverine #311, when your

The new Archer And Armstrong has a tough battle, against one of the most critically acclaimed early Valiant series. Even now, it seems incredible to

It's a crime this run could get buried under the train-wreck that was the vampire fad aimed launch of this book. ROTWORLD RED, ROTWORLD GREEN DCNu's track record with these mini-crossovers between titles has been sketchy at best, with them usually coming off as superfluous and forced The bright exception is of course ANIMAL MAN and SWAMP[...]

This week we talk about Snyder and Cloonan on Batman #12, co-written by James IV who's the main man of DC's 3rd wave (Talon). Archer & Armstrong #1 is the classic odd couple comic Jaded-alcoholic-millenarian seeks idealistic-straightedge-teenager for hijinks! Punk Rock Jesus #2 isn't just another sacrilegious comic skewering our faith in[...]

Here's a shot of the variant cover of Batman #12 shipping on Wednesday, by Bryan Hitch. Seriously, Batman, put it away, you'll have someone's eye out.

Including the return of the Joker in the Batman books, we're doing a series between Hulk and the Green Arrow called Hulk Man Wanted, which will attach some of the other series in that as well. Wow? After years of waiting for DC to forgive Joe Quesada for comparing them to a porn star who can't[...]

The Washington Post ran a piece on a stump speech by Sarah Palin, in support of Sarah Steelman, running for the Republican nomination for the Senate in

With the New 52 and Before Watchmen, Girl With A Dragon Tattoo and Get Jiro taking all the DC headlines, it's worth checking for a couple of projects that may go amiss otherwise. The first is Lot 13 by Steve Niles and Glenn Fabry, originally comissioned as a Wildstorm creator owned mini-series, it's tucked in the[...]

Bleeding Cool has run a number of stories looking at the binding of DC hardcovers Some happy, some sad. Well there is one hardcover book coming that will test the new system It's the The Invisibles Omnibus from DC/Vertigo. 1536 pages comprising the three volumes, Invisibles vol 1 #1-25, Invisibles vol 2 #1-22 and Invisibles vol #12-1.

This week's Before Watchmen How Things Came To Be panel is from this week's Nite Owl #2 by JMS and the Kuberts. I was going to make a joke about "Next up!

But it really isn't clicking for me as an ongoing. I find the art to be rather uninspiring, nothing really marking it out from the pack at DC It has a story that really doesn't appear to be going anywhere, either I know Milligan can write the arse off of most stories that he puts his[...]
