Yesterday, Wizards of the Coast began their spoiler season for Ikoria: Lair Of Behemoths, the newest set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Bleeding Cool will aim to keep up with these spoilers and provide you with up-to-date highlights of this monstrously-awesome new set. Of course, today had a large number of spoilers as well. […]
Readers were saddened last year when a microbial virus first forced Hershey to resign her position as Chief Judge of Mega-City One and then took her life in John Wagner and Colin MacNeil's Guatemala (2000 AD Progs 2150-2157). In Hershey: Disease by Rob Williams (Suicide Squad, Unfollow) and Simon Fraser (Nikolai Dante, Kingsman) beginning in 2000 AD Prog 2175, published […]
Recently, we mentioned we had come across an early copy of Batman #92 and Batman #93 and took a look inside. We've also seen several issues of Empyre comics. Both Empyre #0 issues are out this Wednesday, with #1 out next week. There will be no major spoilers here but we going to be making […]
Bleeding Cool talked about reading this week's upcoming Batman #92 earlier. We have also been sent a copy of Batman #93, scheduled two weeks hence. And given that we will all still probably be experiencing the coronavirus lockdown then, it seems opportune that it takes the plot of #92. The Riddler has locked down Gotham […]
Yesterday's Justice League Dark saw Ram V andAlvaro Martinez Bueno do their best Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, John Totleben and Steve Bissette-channelling moments, with Swamp Thing and Abigail Holland looking oh-so-very familiar (though he does seem to have lost his Alan Moore lookalike-beard) But it's not the only such familiar such faces with John Constantine and […]
Oh had you forgotten all about 5G? Well, maybe in the light of the coronavirus pandemic, DC Comics has as well. But plenty of plans were already in place and have been moving forward. Including it seems, today's Legion Of Super-Heroes #5 by Brian Bendis and Ryan Sook. Now, those keen readers of Bleeding Cool's […]
Five Krakoa books this week. That's a lot, even for a coronavirus week. So a warning, there are Giant-Size X-Men: Nightcrawler #1, X-Men #9, FF/X-Men #3, Hellions #1, and Wolverine #2 spoilers of differing degrees. We'll go in mild… as Giant-Size X-Men: Nightcrawler returns to a previous dwelling, the Mansion… …with the familiar stylings of Alan […]
Back in X-Men/Fantastic Four #1, we got a House Of X-style text page that laid out a new explanation for the Marvel Universe power set… Ever since the accident that gave us our extra abilities, I've been trying to reconcile the high energy expenditure of each of our power sets with our seemingly unchanged individual […]
Oh Mister Fantastic, When you get it wrong, you really get it wrong. Today's Immortal Hulk #33 reminds of us a certain Planet Hulk, a result of Mister Fantastic sending Hulk off to a peaceful planet, to live out his days in harmless solitude, only for him actually to end up on a warlike planet, […]
Immortal Hulk #33 by Al Ewing, Joe Bennett, Nick Pittarra and Paul Mounts goes back inside the Hulk, dealing with the world invasion by Xemnu and a very specific internal invasion of the Hulk, to celebrate what would have been Incredible Hulk issue #750 if it hadn't kept relaunching. But, as ever, Hulk will out. […]
The final issue of Rick & Morty #60 from Oni Press layers twist upon twist onto its Rickilluminati five-parter final storyline. We may get into the spoiler twists upon twists in that final issue later, that make the recent heist episode of the TV show look like 'Murder She Wrote'. But what is really intriguing […]
Iron Man 2020 began with the Machine Man series by Tom DeFalco, Herb Trimpe and Barry Windsor Smith. So it's natural that Aaron Stack would be playing a large role in the new event. And today, you get more than ever before. With Iron Age 2020 #1 and Machine Man 2020 #2 doubling down on […]
In the previous issue of X-Force #8, Domino talked about not choosing to end her life and be resurrected by Krakoa, removing the scars she had experienced, both mentally and physically, at the hands of the mutant-hating organization Xeno. This month in X-Force #9, it's all change. Domino has gone through the resurrection and is suddenly […]
Captain America #20 may get the most political it has ever been since Steve Rogers first socked Adolf Hitler on the jaw at a time when the US government was still pursuing an isolationist approach toward entering the Second World War, leading protests against Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Today, we find Captain America drawn […]
Last week in Thor #4 we saw a new individual able to lift Mjolnir's hammer, Thor's step-brother Loki – though this may be as a result of taking over the helm of Odin, and mastering the magicks that enchanted the hammer in the first place. Today, as teased on the cover, Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel, […]
Yesterday saw the publication of Nightwing #70, the first part of the Road To The Joker War, with copies actually selling on eBay for up to $20, despite having a $3.99 cover price. And while today's Batman #91 has a better-looking Joker… Nightwing #70 may have a more devious one. We know that the Joker […]
Once upon a time, Jonathan Hickman wrote the Fantastic Four. A part of a long-running storyline that continued into his run on Avengers and into Secret Wars, that included this scene from FF #6, with Black Bolt. Which was rather mirrored in this week's X-Men #8 with Vulcan. Which is underlined with reports on Marvel […]
Last month's Star Wars: Darth Vader #1 (getting a second printing today) ended with quite the cliffhanger, revealing that Anakin Skywalker's wife and Queen, Padmé Amidala, was not dead at Vader's hands in Revenge Of The Sith, but alive – somehow. But how? A clone? And android? A Force-illusion? No, something else. But, as promised, […]
The upcoming X Of Swords teaser showed a variety of X-Men characters wielding a variety of swords, some recognisable, others not. Nightcrawler had a rapier, Cyclops had a light saber, that kind of thing. And Apocalypse had the sword that we saw in the previous issue of X-Men in the Crucible. And Cable has his […]
