That's an enormously tricky narrative feat to pull off, and the script from Jim Rossignol and Kieron Gillen make it look effortless. Then there's this literal bombardment of wonderful, ridiculous, and interesting ideas, Gatling gunned at the reader without pause or context, all expanding the mad scope of this wonderful continuity This preposterous parade of possibility[...]

Not a bit of it, Marvel is launching a new Eternals series by A-Listers Kieron Gillen and Esad Ribic. And they have given up waiting on the schedule of the movie, currently in February.

Yes, my mistake." The writing from Kieron Gillen and Jim Rossignol is a delicate balance of madness and clarity, and it cannot be stressed enough that it's never an easy thing to do Add to that the literal building busting visuals, the clever quips, the mad metaplot, there's really only one word for a book like[...]

Kieron Gillen has been talking (lots) about picking up the Warhammer… hammer at Marvel Comics, a new comic book line based on the RPG from Games Workshop, of which he has talked a lot in the pub and occasionally brought along painted figures On his newsletter, he revealed it was the real name for his[...]

Last September the news came that Marvel had the comic book license, secured we later learnt by Marvel publisher John Nee, formerly of WildStorm, Warners, Cryptozoic and with most excellent contacts. A year later, the first book will be published, Warhammer 40K: Marneus Calgar in October, from tabletop and RPG gaming obsessive Kieron Gillen, writer of[...]

Kieron Gillen, Tamra Bonvillain … names you've seen a lot. The rest of the team aren't exactly slouches and this … well … Baron Otto Von Subertan is quite a figure — his Volstagg-ian proportions are only dwarfed by his deep devotion to being a Ludocrat, someone who rules but is never boring To say he is[...]

Where to begin? Well, this is less a script from talented scribe Kieron Gillen and more of a felonious assault on the collective psyche with a fully automatic dictionary Words are wielded like waves by a tsunami: for example, the elegant evil of Voldigan the Perdifous would make Starscream swoon with jealousy He's not even[...]

But months later, Doctor Kieron Gillen & Dan Mora's Once & Future #1 debuted, setting a company record for it's biggest creator-owned launch and joining its prestigious 50K club. Netflix Speculators Pay $200 for Gillen and Mora's Once & Future #1 Art from Boom Studios. Even with full returnability and retailers ordering at record-breaking numbers for a[...]

I was in the pub last night with Kieron Gillen and friends He said something very funny about his upcoming series from Image Comics, Ludocrats, but I can't remember what it was Anyway, it's inspired me to run this Brief History Of Kieron Gillen, what with Ludocrats #1 being FOC'ed this weekend. A Brief History Of[...]

Not every site is so circumspect, especially when it comes to announcing deaths. That's where comic book writer and bon vivant, Dr Kieron Gillen found himself last week He has posted a slide from his Guardian Masterclass on comic book writing, pointing out the very real dichotomy between writer and artist in comics, and realising what[...]

Once & Future #1 by Doctor Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora has just made a jump – to an eighth printing Which has to be a modern-day record I mean, it has a long way to go to beat Johnny The Homicidal Maniac #1 at at least a 26th printing, but for current single comics,[...]

The Ludocrats by Kieron Gillen, Jim Rossignol, Jeff Stokely and Tamra Bonvillain was originally announced at Image Expo in 2015 Then it was with just Kieron Gillen, David LaFuente, Jim Rossignol, and Ricardo Venancio And now it's on the cover of next week's Diamond Previews It's been a while.

Basically right now he gets to do what he wants (as long as it still doesn't include showing off Harley Quinn's nipples.)

(Image Comics, creative team: Kieron Gillen, Stephanie Hans, Clayton Cowles) The basic premise of a group of childhood friends sucked back into the magical and often deadly activities of their childhood is well-bolstered here by a story of struggle between two of their number Working together for a singular plan, everything hinges on the ability of[...]

Boom Studios CEO and founder Ross Richie continues to plunge his metaphorical sword into the hopes of Image Comics' publisher Eric Stephenson to win The Kieron Gillen Wars of 2019, the Marvel vs DC-esque rivalry for the affections of writer Doctor Kieron Gillen between the two companies Boom is publishing Once & Future while Image[...]

In Kieron Gillen's run on the Xbooks, he emphasised the high-arch aspect of Mister Sinister, giving us many Sinisters cloned from the original performing menial services, and embracing the ridiculousness of it all. In yesterday's Powers Of X #4, Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz took that even further, presenting a gossipy, camp, even-more-ridiculous Mister Sinister, including his[...]

While we reported that the (friendly?) Marvel vs DC-esque feud between Boom Studios and Image Comics to see who could launch the better-selling Kieron Gillen series (dubbed "The Kieron Wars" by, well, me) had escalated further with the sixth printing of Once & Future #1 But it looks like the hit series from Doctor Kieron[...]

And they brought a couple of friends to talk about Once & Future, Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora. They met an enthusiastic retailer reception, and Kieron Gillen kept thanking the room for their undying support, in what Bleeding Cool contributor Joshua Stone told me was far too quick an English accent to transcribe But apparently, Gillen[...]

But in a shocking move Tuesday, explosive publisher BOOM! Studios announced a novel plan that could turn the entire industry on its head: what if we tried to sell comics to readers? Partnering with retailer point-of-sale system ComicHub, BOOM! will target actual readers in an attempt to convince them to buy copies of Kieron Gillen and[...]

In the writer's notes for The Wicked + The Divine #42, Kieron Gillen describes a moment in the issue as a fist-pumping moment He's right One of Chekov's guns finally goes off, and Ananke (though mind controlling Woden's Valkyries) kills Woden The team executes the violence well Woden's faceplate is cracked, punctured and broken into[...]
