The posters at DC Women Kicking Ass noticed that the new Captain Marvel, who had received considerable amount of criticism for her short hair, despite assurances it was just tied at the back, has been modified for July solicitations. Before hair internet meltdown… and afterwards. And if having a book called Captain Marvel while DC is having[...]

I have listed below some cool compiled from the summit. DC was really focused on Before Watchmen. The presenter held high a booklet for us to look at and gaze at some of the remarkably art work that you soon will see  It was sort of a secret showing and no pictures were allowed on it[...]

And to be honest, things were still pretty cosy. Titan Books also had a sweet deal with DC Comics, reprinting their trade paperbacks and graphic novels in the UK, and in many cases receiving the books from the States, warehousing them, and putting a UK price sticker on the back Often with quite a mark up,[...]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6BxFiQlZkc[/youtube] Anne Hathaway is Catwoman aka Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises 2012, following in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry! Host Grace Randolph, from Beyond The Trailer, and guest Alan Kistler talk about the history of Catwoman from DC Comics, Batman's love interest both in the comic and The Dark Knight Rises[...]

The Crimson Corsair back up strip will have two pages in each book, but that might extend into the run. I'm told "the Jae Lee Ozymandias stuff is very detailed and DC's Bob Wayne describes it as the best stuff he has ever seen from Jae Lee… The Darwyn Cooke Minutemen pages are clean and with[...]

But Punk Rock Jesus #1 by Sean Murphy is solicited by DC Vertigo for July And while much attention at the show will be towards Marvel's ReEvolution and Avengers Vs X-Men and DC's Batman Year One and Before Watchmen, it's good to know that at the Diamond Summit yesterday, this project was so prominent. This is[...]

DC Comics has launched a New Frontiersman teaser for Before Watchmen, based on the radical political newsletter from the original series The first edition (with a "peel" that reveals the DC Peel logo) is dated 1977 and looks at the Keene bill, that will abolish superheroes There's also a headline PUNKS INVADE ENGLAND, bemoaning a[...]

Plus, the digital versions get released before most of the comic shops are open, with the exception of DC Marvel digital is now available around 8 a.m on release day Image and other publishers are usually available around 9:30 DC is  available around 1:30. What purpose did getting Iron Muslim up as a pirated comic so[...]

DC Comics is set to show off Watchmen this weekend in Chicago But it won't be the first time some folks will have seen the pages they are showing off A number of "press screenings" have been taking place in DC Comics offices for the likes of USA Today, Comic Book Resources, The New York[...]

"Currently, DC Comics are no longer available for purchase on our Fire app." –  ComiXology representative to a Bleeding Cool reader After making such a furore by signing their most popular hundred graphic novels exclusively to the Kindle Fire last year, and seeing Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million boycott those titles in protest, you'd have thought[...]

Thanks to one hard working YouTuber, we now have the Alan Moore interview with BBC's HARDTalk online for everyone to see. The BBC generally don't take

So what looks good? Resident Alien from Dark Horse is a must, as is Boba Fett Is Dead, there's the long awaited Shooters from DC, a little Next Men, a pinch of Manhattan Projects, some Amazing Spider-Man, a modicum of Stitched, Pocket God, Castle Waiting and Harvey Pekar... DARK HORSE COMICS 3 STORY SECRET FILES O/T GIANT MAN[...]

If you were still waiting for February's Absolute Final Crisis oversized hardcover volume from DC Comics, you may have to wait a little longer In fact, you might as well add it to your Christmas list. But one additional present you'll be getting is seven new and exclusive pages to the volume by Grant Morrison and[...]

To that end, allow me to very briefly share my background with you: I'm an Iranian-American writer, a lifelong fan of the medium of comics, and a big fan of the DC characters I have over 10 years of published works to my credit, from self-published stories to comics and graphic novels from Dark Horse,[...]

I can hear the blood pressure of various comic store owners rising as we speak. DC Direct, the line of toys and statues manufactured and sold by DC Comics, is being renamed as DC Collectibles will be putting its entire offering online, so that people can purchase directly from them, rather than through a Diamond-supplied comic[...]

Back to the Future hijinx ensue. In ACTION COMICS #8, Superman loses his jean and t-shirts for his DCNu Kryptonian armour (boo), battles Brainiac for the fate of the bottled cities of Kandor and Metropolis, and in the process gains the key to the city and a new (that's DCNu) Fortress of Solitude.The more the series[...]

Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray have waited the right amount of time for the book to be out of print, jumped through all the hoops they needed to and now, finally, have claimed their "creator owned" series Monolith back from DC Comics. The twelve issue series ran through 2004 and 2005 with art from Phil Winslade, Tomm[...]

Last night I ran a story about Bobbie Chase being promoted to Editorial Director at DC Comics But details about what was happening to Executive Editor Eddie Berganza were scattered. DC Comics have now officially told me that Eddie now has the position of Group Editor, and I quote "responsible for continuing his work on the[...]

Maybe also sell the likes of Crossed, 28 Days Later, True Blood and the like, but the main focus, and title of the store should be The Walking Dead. You will make money. It's not so much a domination of the reorder list with Walking Dead trades and hardcovers, with 21 out of the 25 spots, as[...]

Wired reports that in July, DC Comics are launching a new 52 series, National Comics, a book that will switch the spotlight character every issue. The first four will be Eternity, Madame X, Rose And Thorn, and Looker. Jeff Lemire and Cully Hamner will create Eternity, which appears to be similar to Kid Eternity They describe it; This[...]

JimLee is wearing a white Tuxedo, a bit tipsy, riding atop a camel… Jim Lee is now Co-Publisher of DC Comics What else has Scott found? This is something you don't see every day, an unfinished Gen13 script by Alan, first 12 pages Forgot about this Think I'll read it tonight   Scott Dunbier of IDW, and ex[...]

From Fringe this week; Fauxlivia: You thought this might have something to do with the vigilante case the PD has been working? Agent Lee 1: Maybe Batman's

No amount of courtroom verdicts can alter the fact that the creators were treated badly from an ethical perspective and that taints everything that is produced by Marvel and DC until the day they make reparation, not because a court rules that they have to, but because it's the right thing to do. Goodness I mean[...]

If they'd have published this five days ago, it would feel so much easier to accept. DC Comics have published He-Man comics before in the eighties, including a crossover with Superman Marvel also published a run in their Star Comics kids line And last year Dark Horse produced a series of mini-comics to be packaged with[...]

I pored over each panel, I swiped from a few, and Flex Mentallo seemed to be the perfect encapsulation of his work. It was matched by these colours that seemed to pop out, in the comic about comics, this fiction about fictions, everything seemed to be hyper-exaggerated, it just worked. I still have my back issues –[...]

Hot Tamale by John Stango, on display at the Wentworth Gallery. Asking price $6500. Wonder Woman #249, cover by Rich Buckler, Dick Giordano. Original art

As well as grabbing the fifth spot with Avengers Assemble. Of late, DC has increasingly improved its grip on the top sales in comics, with even Aquaman outselling every Marvel title It's worth noting that while Marvel now have three books in the top five, Aquaman – and now Batman And Robin too, are still outselling[...]

The cover to Worlds Finest #3 there. Man, that's got to smart.

These were the images of the DC New 52 toys, when released in a flyer by DC Comics in January. This, however, is how they look in adverts in some of the New DCU titles today (yes, even the likes of Animal Man and Swamp Thing, which just looks weird) Batman it seems, hasn't changed a pip[...]

Another week, another chance to look through a bucket load of good comics. So what do we have? What goes around, comes around. Supreme going on hiatus for
