Chris Thompson writes for Bleeding Cool… just before he heads off to Malta! [audio:http://popculturehound.net/podcast/PCHPodcastEpisode18.mp3] Taylor and I have mixed views about this week's Marvel Now! books, and find we don't see eye-to-eye with Daniel Way's Thunderbolts #1 or Jonathan Hickman's much-anticipated Avengers #1. Taylor also chats with Ryan Ferrier (Tiger Lawyer and Challenger Comics) about his career thus[...]

DP7 was my favourite by far, an X-Men-alike series, told in real time with powered up people with uniquely exhibited powers trying to band together against the world. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Jonathan Hickman Brings Back The New Universe For Marvel NOW!  In the eighties Jim Shooter tried to spearhead a brand new superhero continuity at Marvel Comics,[...]

DP7 was my favourite by far, an X-Men-alike series, told in real time with powered up people with uniquely exhibited powers trying to band together against the world. An attempt to bring the New Universe back with Warren Ellis as New Universal died on the vine a bit. But now Sam Humphries, who wrote with Jonathan Hickman[...]

It's difficult for a comic book to be as unpredictable and surreal as Manhattan Projects and still maintain as much of a satisfying punch on an issue-to-issue basis. This is what we have come to expect from series writer Jonathan Hickman, whose forte is this brand of retro sci-fi infused with postmodern gravity The Manhattan Projects[...]

Here is a shot that a nice retailer sent me… And with a number of stores being shorted on copies, this year's CBLDF Liberty Annual 2012, also featuring work from Jonathan Hickman, Andy Diggle, Ben Templesmith, Howard Chaykin, James Robinson, CHris Roberson, Roger Langridge, Terry Moore, Kieron Gillen and so many more, maybe in even greater[...]

John Cassaday on an ongoing? Allred on an ongoing by Fraction? Gillen & McKelvie together again? Oh god I've died, haven't I? I thought it would be a lot warmer… What's not being talked about nearly enough is Jonathan Hickman's come down from one of the greatest runs in Marvel history Not just talking Fantastic Four[...]

But, as it was the previous year, by the time the actual show rolled out, there were many female guests at the show. While Mark Millar took a lot of flak for that, his previous colleague and now sworn nemesis Grant Morrison also has his own comic convention, in Las Vegas, MorrisonCon. Robert Kirkman, Darick Robertson, Jason[...]

As well as Jonathan Hickman writing the Avengers Marvel NOW! Relaunch, he will also be writing New Avengers, with Steve Epting on art, with #1 on sale from January 2013. That means, of the NOW 21 titles, we currently know four, including All New X-Men and Uncanny Avengers… UPDATE: And Thor #1, Iron Man #1 and Captain[...]

All today, websites have been putting up bits and bobs from Entertainment Weekly's piece on Marvel NOW! relaunch. Bleeding Cool have had parts of them

Bleeding Cool previously reported that Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic were taking over the Avengers title Well, we may need a few more artists Who are happy with crowd scenes. Entertainment Weekly's Comic Con issue reports Avengers as one of the Marvel NOW! relaunch, stating; AVENGERS: The updated series promises a diverse sprawling cast that goes far[...]

The big game-changing event at the end of Avengers Vs X-Men, couldn't be the introduction to the Marvel Universe of Marvelman could it? I only ask because

Here's another filling that's coming loose. After his five year plan of writing Fantastic Four came to fruition, it's time for Jonathan Hickman to turn his long term thinking, planning and structure to The Avengers Brian Bendis has been writing the book for an age and is planning on moving on to something even bigger… Look for[...]

Apart from the Iron Man one, obviously… Could we see Rick Remender and Jeremy Opena on an Avengers book? New Avengers maybe? Could Mark Waid take over Avengers Assemble? What about Jonathan Hickman and Essad Ribic on either Uncanny X-Men or the Avengers books that's not the one Remender and Opena are on? And definitely definitely definitely Kieron Gillen[...]

In a playbook seemingly taken from KaPow, the Grant Morrison convention, MorrisonCon, being held in Las Vegas has announced Gerard Way, Jonathan Hickman, Frank Quitely, J.H Williams III and Chris Burnham as the first five of the ten guests at the event. Four more will be announced later (the final one is Grant Morrison, presumably) and[...]

Finally, we are also seeing how adept Jonathan Hickman is at the more comedic elements of writing, just more maturation on a great writer. I definitely recommend buying this issue. Eliot Cole reviews for Bleeding Cool; FF 17 is a one-shot story, a 'day in the life of' Peter Parker and Johnny Storm living together  One shots[...]

The fourth issue of Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver's six issue series S.H.I.E.L.D came out in December and then… nothing No solicitations, no mention, no sign And nothing for June, either Some have wondered if it is another series that has been stealth-cancelled half way through its run, such as All Winners Squad. It was worth[...]

I didn't want to spoil this yesterday. Not while people had a chance to experience it themselves... But today is Thursday. Go no further if you still want

Today's Fantastic Four from Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting goes back to the beginning Of Hickman's run that it To be honest, there are so many pieces that hark back to certain scenes and, basically, I'd recommend you read the first year again before picking up this issue. I'm certainly not going to print them all[...]

Remember when Jonathan Hickman kicked off a little over Red Wing being digitally published on ComiXology by Image Comics by mistake? Some saw it as a principled stand against digital comics Turns out Hickman just wanted to do it right. The Test Pattern is a digital collection of The Nightly News, Pax Romana, Transhuman, A Red[...]

But hell this is a Jonathan Hickman comic, you should be looking for this anyway. Because what you think this comic is, is a mad science comic? A bit Warren Ellisy, the mad, weird scientific truths that went on behind the Manhattan Project, a bit like Men In Black, a but like Bill And Ted, a[...]

iFanboy reports, from an interview with Jonathan Hickman carried out at Image Comics Expo, that he will be leaving Fantastic Four at the end of the year along with wrapping up The Ultimates and SHIELD With news that Bendis is leaving Avengers, and his stating that his next project will be "so much more" than[...]

He stopped by to talk to Saga's Bryan K Vaughan and The Manhattan Projects' Jonathan Hickman This is what they told him First… Jonathan. Ryan King: Where to begin?

He died a couple of times," Brevoort said, adding that writer Jonathan Hickman had outlined the plans for a return months ago so readers won't "feel cheated or disappointed in the slightest."

You can see the thinking, sat at the Image Comics booth at a variety of comic conventions across North America… all that travelling, all that fuss, all that money – and then you have to share attention with Marvel, DC, Twilight, Robert Downey Jr… what would it be like to have all that attention for[...]

Not here obviously. No spoilers for Fantastic Four #600 here. But I understand that Marvel is looking to get a little publicity for this comic when it

Jonathan Hickman's byzantine plans in Fantastic Four and FF, with protagonists and antagonists all over the place Indeed the first couple of pages of Fantastic Four #600 are devoted simply to explaining who and where everybody is, beofre we deal with the war breaking out on the strees of New York Again And the heroes[...]
