And who better than Paul Cornell and John Higgins, two of the nicest guys in comics And to make it even more refreshing the talk was chaired by Niall Walker who is Edinburgh's Reading Champion who works with a programme to encourage children in residential care to read books. Niall kicked off the talk by saying[...]

So. War. Looks like it might be coming, sort of. But with the likes of Nancy Silberkleit, Mark Millar, Steve Geppi, Nick Spencer and others getting

Something we managed to miss a whole month ago. TV, comic and novel writer Paul Cornell wrote a blog post about his upcoming final Doctor Who comic book story The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who, the last such licenced comic from IDW (before Titan get the deal). And it includes a preview of the first two pages,[...]

While they disappeared by the time the official schedule was announced, two men were added to the panel, including "Wolverine" writer Paul Cornell. That said, the panel was still overwhelmingly made up of women Frankly that was refreshing given the sausage fest that were 90 percent of the panels I attended at Con Unfortunately, the "Gender[...]

And based on this panel, there are a few more on the way, including the new Nightcrawler-starring "Amazing X-Men" and a new solo mini for Longshot. The panel included Brian Michael Bendis (writer, All-New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men), Chris Hastings (writer), Brian Posehn (writer), Gerry Duggan (writer), Paul Cornell (writer, Wolverine), editor Jeanine Schaefer, Peter David (writer,[...]

This oversize issue will be written by fan-favorite Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell and features art by Jimmy Broxton. In this special one-shot story, a strange force flings the TARDIS and the Doctor into our own universe! Once here, the Doctor encounters a 10-year-old girl who happens to be a huge fan of the Doctor Who[...]

But in March, Marvel have new books from Mahmud Asrar, Pete Woods and Paul Cornell who have, of late, been only seen working for DC Comics on books such as Supergirl, Legion Lost, Demon Knights and Stormwatch. But in March, they're on Ultimate Comics: X-Men, Avengers Assemble and Wolverine. No big showboating, no exclusive agreements, just quietly[...]

Demon Knights #15 is Paul Cornell's last issue on the series And brings to an end all sorts of plots, character stories and themes With a big battle, it's rather lovely It also ties into the future that we've seen while reflecting the past. And then Merlin does something… rather familiar… The moment has been prepared for! Paul[...]

You know Paul Cornell Course you do Wrote some sci-fi books, wrote some Doctor Who books, wrote some actual episodes of Doctor Who, wrote some Marvel comics, wrote some DC comics, is still writing Saucer Country and has a new Wolverine book with Alan Davis on the way. But if you like your words without pictures[...]

We told you a while ago that Paul Cornell was wrapping up his DC Universe titles to work for Marvel. And now iFanboy seem to have made it official, teamed up with Alan Davis. Interestingly, both are British, both have Captain Britain and Excalibur credentials… could this be a bit of a swerve? Also, we already have[...]

Thanks to Little Bleeder Paul DiFilippo for this one. On the left, a panel from Demon Knights, on the right, a scene from Asterix & Cleopatra. In

There's been a rumour going round the British comics industry circles of late that Paul Cornell is leaving Demon Knights and setting up new projects at Marvel to replace it His Vertigo book, Saucer Country, would be unaffected. That is literally all I know, or have heard There's not an official word I can get, and[...]

One of the odder moments at Kapow this weekend (and there were a number) was when Paul Cornell continued his commitment to panel gender parity (you can read about it here) and sat in the audience for the DC New 52 panel rather than sit on the all-male panel with Scott Snyder, Ian Churchill and[...]

Today, at the London Super Comic Convention, on the How To Write A Comic Script panel, Si Spurrier gave up his seat in favour of a female panellist. He did this in support of Paul Cornell's stance that unless there is gender parity on a comic convention panel – fifty percent, or as near as,[...]

Writer Paul Cornell used to play Dungeons And Dragons regularly with friends (his wife always had to be a cleric because, well, she is a cleric) and in Demon Knights he seems to have found a place to stretch those muscles again in a very literal fashion And no more than this issue. Dungeons And Dragons,[...]

CookWatch: Anthony Bourdain's Get Jiro cooking graphic novel from DC Vertigo gets a cover. StarWatch: Paul Cornell talks about being starstruck. "At Moffat's party the other night, I wanted to thank my host for a tremendous evening, went over to do so, and discovered Matt Smith right beside him  (Not just 'Matt', obviously, I'm referring to him[...]

If you're lucky. Created at the Kapow Comic Convention earlier in the year, its aim was to tell a Superior story with as many people as possible, raise money for charity and break a couple of world records in the process. I'm not sure how the Most Contributors To A Comic Book record was arrived at –[...]

Which means even if you don't like the book, you'll be able to flip it on eBay. Or you can choose a separate full colour commission from Jimmy – a rare thing since he doesn't do commissions or sell his art. And if that's not enough, you might also be drawn by being in good company… other[...]

And Gail Simone has been round the Leeds City Centre shops looking for a Dalek. It can only be the launch of what many consider Britain's best comic convention, Thought Bubble. This weekend, as part of the Leeds Sequential Arts Festival running right now, the city will host a comic convention dedicated to style. Add Jeff Lemire, Adam[...]

Writer Paul Cornell has elaborated on one of Vertigo's NYCC announcements today — an ongoing series by Cornell and artist Ryan Kelly about a presidential candidate who is 'abducted by aliens'. It's called Saucer Country. It's about Arcadia Alvarado, the Governor of New Mexico, who, on the eve of announcing that she's running for President…[...]

And you know what, I bet Paul Cornell – and DC editorial staff – did as well… There has naturally been rather a lot of commentary on the portrayal of Starfire in Red Hood And The Outlaws and Catwoman in her own title, pointing out the manner of intense sexualisation of characters that had, to[...]

It would be crass and simplistic to say that Horsewoman from Demon Knights #1 is a "replacement" for Oracle, who seems to be regaining the use of her legs

And that time of the year where people start asking about the sexuality of the panellists! Who this year are Robert Kirkman, Chip Kidd, Dan Parent, Jon Macy, Paul Cornell, Greg Pak, with a video appearance by J.H Williams III, moderated by Andy Mangels. As far as we know, Kirkman, Parent, Cornell, Pak, and[...]

DC Comics are giving Entertainment Weekly more stories about their issue one comics today, and it seems to all be around the more supernatural elements of the DC Universe They include the already BleedingCooled Animal Man #1 by Jeff Lemire and Swamp Thing #1, writted by Scott Snyder. Then there's also the BleedingCooled Justice League Dark #1[...]

And Paul Cornell and James Hodgkins Jimmy Broxton's mission to introduce a hundred or more new characters is suddenly at risk when their numbers drop, and threaten to drop even more. And, yes, Knight And Squire has been seen, rightly, as a rather silly book A fun book, sure, but ephemeral, frippy, a laugh, to be[...]

The latest Action Comics Annual, exploring the early adult life of Lex Luthor has been a critical hit, both writing and art. But does artist Marco Rudy

And on the route I read Action Comics Annual #13. I should point out, and if I wasn't drunk, I would have earlier, that Paul Cornell, the author of the comic, was at the pub too It was one of those comicky pub night things, along with the likes of Bryan Talbot, Emma Vieceli, Kieron Gillen,[...]

So Action Comics and Knight & Squire writer Paul Cornell is jumping on instead with Bat-fan-favourite Scott McDaniel on art, a three part story in issues #17, #18 and #19. The Tomasi/Gleason arc will now start from issue 20 Which means that all the affected books will become returnable for retailers Here are the latest latest[...]

Boo hiss. Paul Cornell's screened pilot of his new hospital sci-fi horror TV show Pulse on BBC 3 has not been picked up for a series. At the Edinburgh TV Festival, BBC 3 controller Danny Cohen said; The decision about which series to commission was not determined solely by audience numbers BBC3 looks hard at Appreciation[...]
