relaunch Archives

The Washington Post has news of a new DC Comics mini-series coming in December, a relaunch of the Quality Comics character The Ray, by Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Jamal Igle. Palmiotti and Gray wrote The Ray in Uncle Sam And The Freedom Fighters, and Palmiotti also wrote and inked the character back in the nineties[...]

It's just a personal sketch. But this is a redesign of the Wally West Flash from this year by Teen Titans artist Brett Booth, in colour and in black and

4Chan and Bleeding Cool have a kind of a love/hate relationship. We love them, they hate Bleeding Cool. Most of the time. Well here's some of that love.

There have been some creative changes on the DC New 52 Relaunch, such as Marco Rudy being dropped completely off Suicide Squad and Roger Robinson off Mister Terrific But this doesn't seem to have been of choice and has up till now concerned artists. Yesterday, Bleeding Cool was told that John Rozum, best known as creator[...]

Comic shops the country over may have sold out of lots of the DC relaunch first prints, with second and in some cases third prints on the way. But it's not just comic shops that have copies. Bleeding Cool first broke the story that Hastings was moving into comics in a big way, and we've been following[...]

For the first three months of the DCU relaunch, DC Comics offered comic stores a mixture of variant covers, returnability and extra discounts on certain titles to encourage retailers to order more titles Which seems to have paid off and the audience has been there so far. But then, what happend in December? Turns out, exactly[...]

Surprisingly, this feels more like a Morrison book than Animal Man does, but Jeff Lemire definitely brings an approach to the character of the monster, the freak, the outsider finding solace in similar company that is all his very own. Red Lanterns #1 by Peter Milligan and Ed Benes Big change of tone here for this rather[...]

Another week of DC relaunch titles, and you know what that means 13 more appearance of the Strange DC Relaunch Woman Which, as a name is getting unwieldy I'm just going to call her Strange from now on Here she is in 13 new books… Demon Knights #1 Red Lanterns #1 Resurrection Man #1 Mister Terrific #1 [...]

In the preview to Superboy #1, we noticed a prominent red haired young woman, and the internet has been abuzz with her possible identity. Her name is Red

And everyone seemed to be picking it up. Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman's Animal Man revival has been one of the critical hits of the relaunch And it seems to have transferred to the sales of the comic as well. Not only has the book gone to backorder but I now understand it has been confirmed as[...]

So Bleeding Cool has been noting and looking out for appearances of The Strange Woman who first appeared in Flashpoint #5, through the new DC relaunch titles But does her influence go further back? Weve been looking through the our back issues… Superman #75 was a big moment for DC and one of their biggest icons[...]

Thanks to CNet's article on the future of DC and digital comics, here are four pages from Mister Terrific #1, by Eric Wallace and Gianluca Gugliotta, with

Today, Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette's Swamp Thing #1 is in stores. It's not the only Swamp Thing relaunch out there. And I don't mean the China Mieville Swamp Thing relaunch for Vertigo which would, as I was told disdainfully by a DC person, have had a Swamp Thing combined with machine guns Which sounds awesome. No, I'm[...]

So I've had a few chats with a few people discussing why they weren't planning to buy Detective Comics #1 today. And I understand them, they talk about

But if you can get the price, why not? Detective Comics #1 and Action Comics #1 are both selling at $5 with the Jim Lee Action Comics variant at up to $20. And from last week, Justice League #1 is $10 with the Combo edition at $15. Meanwhile there is frantic activity between retailers who have found that[...]

It appears that the DC logo that will appear on each of the New DCU boks differs slightly, depending which segment of DC titles it represents. So we have

From the CBR two page colour preview of Voodoo #1 that managed not to show any of the strip club scenes, comes this appearance of the Strange Woman Of The

I've been hearing that there was a little bit of a wobble over a number of DC Relaunch covers, with a whole batch being recomissioned, and most then reverting back to the original cover of choice, the replacement bottom-drawered for a future cover or variant But here's one that did change, Greg Capullo's Batman #1,[...]

Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you about Justice League #1 selling out. Then the second print selling out. Then Action Comics #1 and Batgirl #1
