Back when WildCATS were young, before the first issue by Jim Lee and Brandon Choi, Cole Cash – Grifter and Lady Zannah – Zealot were a thing She trained him in the ways of the Coda, her warrior caste, which stabilised him and his self-destructive psychic powers, and Cole took the name Grifter Their relationship[...]

But maybe, just maybe, a reconciliation for Batman and Grifter who have been on the outs for sometime. Batman, you could take a couple of lessons in the right things to say (as well as the volume in which to say it) from Black Canary, right? You get further with a spoonful of sugar than ramming[...]

Superman and Wonder Woman save an abominable snowman in this preview of DC's Grifter Got Run Over by a Reindeer #1. LOLtron, the management here at Bleeding Cool has paired me with you in hopes of "improving the overall tone and quality of my work," so though I know I will regret it, I am contractually[...]

A new hot DC Comics character comes to life through McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse line with the Grifter This hired guns back in Gotham as he takes up the job as Lucius Fox's new bodyguard This is a fairly new change for the Grifter, and it is getting him back into the DC Comics landscape[...]

In today's Batman: Urban Legends #3, they pick a few of them up. As Grifter gets to work with his direct superior, Chance Adibi (with orders it seems from his boss's boss Lucius…) What is this, a James Bond movie? Probablly Anyway, in a tender moment with Chance, he shuts down about himself, giving only a little[...]

Over a month ago, we looked at the rumour that there was a lot more Wildstorm Universe coming back to DC Comics to join Grifter, Midnighter, Apollo and mentions of Halo. The WildCATS characters created by Jim Lee and Brandon Choi were brought by DC when they bought the Wildstorm Studios[...]

And in today's Batman Urban Legends #1, we see what may be another meta-commentary take on the whole thing.

Who are also on the outs with Grifter… Future State: Dark Detective #3 So as Bruce Wayne tracks down the death of a CEO of a technology firm that helped create the Peacekeeper armour… Bruce Wayne in Future State: Dark Detective #3 …it turns out it was the Peacekeepers who did it Not entirely sure how Tanya Fox will[...]

It's WildStorm time! Grifter has recently arrived with aplomb in the DC Comics Universe, as a mercenary for hire, employed as a bodyguard by Lucius Fox and at odds with Batman The WildCATS characters created by Jim Lee and Brandon Choi were brought by DC when they bought the Wildstorm Studios And now that Jim[...]

It's the kind of display you also see in today's Robin Eternal, with Jason Todd also having issues with The Magistrate. DC Future State: Robin Eternal #1 It may be a fascist superstate, with Peacekeepers running Cybers, artificial lifeforms and drones to take down the masked vigilantes of Gotham, but they sure are pretty. DC Future State: Dark[...]

In the course of one night, this investigation will change his life forever – and put him in Batman's crosshairs. Credit: DC Comics Future State: Grifters writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Ryan Benjamin continue from the pages of Batman #101, as gun-for-hire Cole Cash is still in Gotham, on the trail of the true motives of the Halo Corporation…and yes,[...]

DC Comics solicitations have highlighted the appearance of WildStorm's Grifter in Batman #101, the comic continuing directly after The Joker War, a character created by DC publisher and CCO Jim Lee But it's not alone During his DC Fandome addresses, Jim Lee stated that WildStorm characters would be returning to the DC Universe in 2021[...]

Throughout that time, DC has tried many, many, many different ways to incorporate the WildStorm characters into the publishing brand.  Most notably, the New 52 had Voodoo get her own series, Stormwatch gets their own series, Team 7 featuring a mix of DC and WildStorm characters, and Hellspont, the main villain of Wild C.A.T.S., also[...]

Warren Ellis is changing things drastically for the Wildstorm characters in his new series The Wild Storm, but to go along with his words are the

Marat Mychaels filled on pencils for Grifter #11 last month, instead of Scott Clark and, it seems, will be doing the same on issue 13. And then he's on the book for good. In what is becoming, for people on Twitter that is, an increasingly entertaining departure from DC Comics, Rob Liefeld has told us all that[...]

Previously Rob Liefeld said that he would be leaving Grifter with issue 16, but that he's be staying on Savage Hawkman into 2013. Today, that all changed Rob Liefeld announced on Twitter than he would be gone after September's Zero issues And he made it very clear it was his decision to leave all three of[...]

I really rather enjoyed today's Grifter #12 But it is one of the lower selling DC New 52 books. Rob Liefeld tweeted; As much as I love doing a bunch of books at DC, I'll be saying goodbye to Grifter with the December issue, #16 Fun ride tho. He's staying on Deathstroke and Savage Hawkman… but I was[...]

Grifter does a nice trick… it has captured the kinetic nature of Rob Liefeld's art, transferred it into his plot, but let it be coalesced into script and art that's far more pleasing to the eye, puling in aspects of Jim Lee and Sam Keith along the way A long game played by a superhero[...]

With the news ringing in the industry's ears that that Grant Morrison was planning to jump off Action Comics and Batman Inc next year, with plans for more creator owned comics work, and screenplays, Rob Liefeld, co-writer on Savage Hawkman, Grifter and writer/artist on Deathstroke for DC Comics tweeted; "I will be close behind." I've been told[...]

As well as appearances of Voodoo, Fairchild, various Daemonites and Kherabim, and references to Team Seven in other DC comics, this week's Grifter, plotted by Liefeld, also brings us a certain Deathblow… So whose next? Grunge? Majestic? Ladytron? Will we get that Tao/Constantine crossover that's been waiting an age to happen? UPDATE: Yup, Grunge and Warblade[...]

Rob Liefeld is taking over the comics Grifter, Deathstroke and Savage Hawkman, in a bit of a mini-DC relaunch, plotting them all in conjunction as part of a new cosmic storyline, and drawing Deathstroke He is joined on the Savage Hawkman by Joe Bennett drawing , co-scripting by Mark Poulton.  And on Grifter, Scott Clark[...]

Is this another one of those Pride And Prejudice And Zombies stories? Sadly not, it's just some teething troubles in the brand spanking new DC website. But why stop there? Why not actually publish an Emma And Grifter And Midnighter comic? And, yes, get Chuck Dixon to write it? It could be a cult hit! [...]

But we only knew a third of it. He's also writing Savage Hawkman and Grifter, also from issue 9. Bleeding Cool already told you that Joe Bennett would be drawing Savage Hawkman from issue 9. Deathstroke will see the character go up against Lobo, Hawkman goes cosmic with intergalactic gladiatorial combat, and Grifter also looking at the cosmic[...]

We'd already seen mention of the Wildstorm alien race, the shape-shifting Daemonites, in the Wildstorm-originated books Stormwatch, Grifter and Voodoo. But this week's DC Comics All Access editorial page states that the Daemonite influence will also extend to Demon Knights, which makes some sense as it's the prototype in the past for Stormwatch in the present,[...]

Rather than simply relying on sales figures, which never tell the full picture, we ask retailers what is, and what isn't, moving for them, and here's what they had to report this week, on some of December 14's new releases. This past week saw three of the lesser-hyped New 52 titles – Demon Knights, Grifter, and[...]

There is a sense of humour, there is an understanding of how ridiculous the character can look, but then even those scenes are played straight.   Grifter gives a conflict of sub genres The man with a gun versus the superhero with a bow and arrow Who'd win? Superheroes every time, they're just better aren't they? Better[...]

Literally. In Grifter #3, our soldier-turned-conman-with-a-mask tackles an alien lieform that can only distinguish one human from another human by the smell of their spine That sentence there is why you should still be reading this comic Although if you're a Wildtorm fan of old, be warned of the death of a fan-favourite character… Huntress #2 does[...]

Still… Resurrection Man? Or is it Grifter? What about this one?  Any clue? In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself[...]

Which is basically what Nathan Edmonson and CAFU have done with Cole Cash in Grifter #1 No longer a simple soldier of fortune with a flappy mask on his face, he is. a grifter A con man But one who's operations lead him into the strangest of situations against the most fantastical operators Basically this[...]
