Marc Tyler Nobleman is the author of Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman, looking to raise the prominense of Bill Finger and his contribution to the creation of Batman. He writes about contacting DC Comics in 2007 over whether Bill Finger deserved a credit in the Dark Knight film He wrote… and a[...]

Did anyone expect otherwise? It also pushed Image comics from a 7% marketshare to a 9% marketshare, basically one comic book taking up an entire two percent of orders for the month. DC Comics also managed to push ahead of Marvel on both dollar and product marketshare, although both took a smaller share of the overall[...]

It's not like it's for long. And no doubt by next week it will be repaired for next month. But in today's issue of World's Finest, Power Girl gives us a

In one week Creep #0 beats the DC Comics zero issues to print, Batman #12 begins a little Joker action, Marvel launch Gambit, 12-Gauge launch Anti, Aspen launch Idolized and we get Scott Pilgrim in colour Note all the Diamond Digital releases as well, given the [DIG] label.

Jalopnik is reporting an image of a white car, which is believed to have been involved in a hit-and-run with Roger Slifer, the co-creator of Lobo and who

Ah, just like the good old days. But this is the most significant shipping delay for the New 52 so far, and that has nothing to do with content sensitivities. In other DC lateness news, it seems that Green Lantern #12 has been delayed from August the 8th to the 15th Justice League #12 has been delayed[...]

Today begins the twelfth issues of DC Comics's increasingly inaccurately named New 52 (no longer new, and with annuals and the extra zero issues, creeping past 52 So how are they standing up?   Well Justice League International is a walking dead title, cancelled with this issue (though there's an Annual still to come from a different[...]

A little later this week, but all the yummier for it! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuNhWT0Xxcw[/youtube] Grace writes; Marvel Now! It's not a reboot but a relaunch! Marvel Now is the publisher's answer to the New 52 from DC Comics! Host Grace Randolph sorts out all the Marvel Now news and also gives you her thoughts on Uncanny Avengers from Rick Remender[...]

The fools. Chris Nolan's Passes On Paul Levitz's Advice For The Future Of Batman On Film "The only advice I would have is… when I first met with Paul Levitz of DC prior to Batman Begins, he explained to me very clearly that Batman, of all superheroes, has thrived on reinterpretation and almost being strengthened by[...]

Louie Falcetti writes for Bleeding Cool; Personally, I've scratched my head at some of the choices that DC has made regarding it's comic lines Thankfully, the publication of National Comics: Kid Eternity is not one of those head scratch inducing choices It's a formula that you wonder isn't followed more often, you know, great writer plus[...]

It began with Superman inspirational poster by Canadian illustrator Kerrith Johnson, playing off of the famous Superman: The Motion Picture tagline. It was created years ago for a history of graphic design course, and based on a poster by Joseph Binder for the Vienna Music and Theater festival in 1924. It just didn't stop there. After initially posting[...]

This is Dave Gibbons first comment on Before Watchmen since his words quoted in the DC Press Release that, even then, seemed rather awkwardly – or rather precisely – chosen, so as not to give them any real blessing. Butwhen talking about his new Madefire comic and his new gaming work for GameCity Nights, Dave Gibbons[...]

Looks like there's some kind on inbuilt delay going on here… DCDigiWatch: The Five Years Later Legion of Super Heroes reboot stuff is now available on ComiXology – the first time they've been available since the original monthly comics were printed, up to issue 9 and only 99 cents each It's almost as if DC are[...]

Those of us who fondly remember Garth Ennis and John McCrea's Hitman series, may also remember one of the members of the non-superhero superhero team

While most comic stores held copies of Batman Inc #3 yesterday, following DC Comics' instructions, many shops did not. Some chose to ignore the request, some didn't receive it But, as ever with a distribution inequality, eBay steps in to fill the gap. Some people, not knowing of the issue, are selling copies for the Buy It[...]

You can never trust Scott Lobdell. Seriously, you can burn that on your forehead as a motto and never live to regret it. But yesterday, he did tweet,

In an interview with Dan DiDio and Jim Lee for ICV2, we started to get a feel for the seasons at DC Comics A New 52 event in the autumn, and a non-New 52 exploitation in the spring So Spring will give us Before Watchmen and Sandman Zero, and September gives us the New 52[...]

Tim Hanley writes for Bleeding Cool; After three months in a row at the same percentage of female creators, DC Comics was up in May, which helped them regain the top spot from a sliding Marvel We also take a look at the solicitations for DC's #0 issues, and find that things haven't changed much at[...]

And could Eisner success be responsible for Daredevil also getting a reorder fillip? The launch of Batman Earth One, still at the top of the post-shipping reorder charts seems also to have triggered demand for the Superman Earth One volume as well, with Grimm Fairy Tales making a surprise appearance amid the Walking Dead. TOP 25 ADVANCE[...]

And, Joe, honestly I think you are just as bad Ryan Perez (who you call out in your post) in the fact that you just, simply, don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Kate Kotler is the author of the Geek Girl on the Street Reports column for Bleeding Cool and the host of the[...]

Here are a bunch of post-solicitation creative changes for Marvel and DC Hmm, DC seem to be picking up quite a few traditionally-Marvel creators as they continue to build up that three month buffer between completed comics and published comics… Birds Of Prey #12 now features art by Cliff Richards, not Travel Foreman and Jeffrey Huet. Nightwing[...]

The complete ten season box set of Smallville has a recommended retailer price of $339.88. Yesterday, Amazon wwas selling it for $208.19. Today, as part

  In Wolverine & X-Men, the artwork seems slightly off in places, Whilce Portacio anatomy put through a smoother filter, which doesn't quite work

On the other side of the sales spectrum, ULTIMATE X-MEN is the most under-ordered and underappreciated new launch from Marvel, I urge people (and especially lapsed X-fans) to give it a try. It's puzzling how the best books Marvel is putting out seem to be landing towards the low end of the top 100, overwhelmed by[...]

Little Bleeder Doc Hurt writes with the accompanied shots from Batman Inc #3, to be held at comic stores tomorrow for a month due to concerns regarding
