In May 2012, Bleeding Cool broke the story that DC Comics was to announce that one of their classically established characters was to be recreated as a gay character in their New 52 reboot universe. And that it would be an iconic male character. We then heard that it would be Alan Scott, the original […]
Almost a month ago, we reported that Humanoids was looking for a sales & marketing director in Los Angeles. Word is that they've found their person. Humanoids, Inc. has hired Jud Meyers to be their new Director of Sales & Marketing. Jud began his career in comics behind the scenes working for Titan Publishing in London. […]
DC Comics announced a lot of creative teams for their DC Rebirth initiative. But it seemed that they were missing two. Two that may be very dear to people's hearts. While they said that Justice League Of America and Super Sons would happen, even without mentioning creative teams there was no news of the previously […]
Tonight we see the second part of Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon's trip to Earth-2. The first part ended with The Flash being captured by Zoom… so things should get interesting very quickly.

Convergence #8 ended not so much with a bang as everyine standing around talking about it a lot. But amidst the bad guy being defeated by another bad guy, and two bad guys becoming good guys in order to save all the other good guys, and some of the bad guys too, there were a […]
If you are planning a trip to another dimension, it's always good to take some precautions. For example, take Earth Two in World's End #23, it might be advisable to check whether or not it has been encapsulated by Apokalips and is in the process of being utterly destroyed. Dimensional travel sickness can cause distressing […]
Plenty of bits and pieces coming out of yesterday's Orlando DC Comics Retailer Roadshow to brighten a Saturday Valentine's Day…. First, a few details about the upcoming Convergence series and spinoffs. Look for a scene in Convergence featuring Warlord riding a herd of triceratops into a castle of time travellers. Mind you, bet that happens […]

The multiverse used to consist of an infinite number of worlds. DC was on Earth One, Marvel was on Earth 616. That last one was always a good joke. But DC's Crisis reduced that to one before it broke out again into the current fifty-two. One for every week of the year. That was slightly […]
There has been considerable concern expressed to me over the final page of last week's Earth 2: Worlds End weekly comic from DC Comics. It features the Sikh character Amir Khan (admittedly with a Muslim surname, but this is a parallel world), a taking off in a space ship with a bomb that's wired to explode intending […]
This is certainly a Bleeding Cool tradition worth upholding, bringing together the chosen best comics panels of the year from our site writers. From the just plain bizarre to the hilarious and emotive, this year had it all and some of the finest creators working in the medium really shine even brighter when you take […]
Bitch Planet #1 asks the important question in comic books today. It also happens to lead off with a great pull back and reveal that's reminiscent of the beginning of the first episode of Spaced. It works a treat… While Prometheus: Fire And Stone gives you the best advice you'll ever get instead. Aside from "nuke them […]
Lots of comic books out today… People are probably going to scream at the end of the new issue of Chew. Almost noting I can post from this issue will not be a spoiler. Almost. Thank the heavens for flashbacks. But yeah, people are going to be pissed. I'm one of them. Okay, David Lapham […]
From the New 52, DC Comics famously banned Batwoman from getting married to her girlfriend Maggie Sawyer – indeed, they banned all marriages, gay or straight, from their leading men and women (with the exception of Grant Morrison-related Animal Man). To the extent that Aquaman was written as married – just without saying the words. […]
A few changes 'twixt solicitation and publication that may be of note…. Danny Miki appears to be joining the credits for the upcoming DC weekly Earth 2 Worlds End according to the cover… But that's not Andrew Hope apparently. Any ideas? X-Factor #18 is no longer an Axis crossover… Giuseppe Camuncoli will join the solicited Olivier Coipel […]

Today sees every DC Comics New 52 title jump forward five years. Naturally there's a bit of middle age spread as every book costs $3.99. But what else? Well the Futures End series has already shown us that a war with Earth 2 took place, plenty of "refugees" ending up on Prime Earth as well […]
