Scott Snyder has been talking about Death Metal, Doomsday Clock, 5G - and what he is planning to follow it all.

Just because Netflix and The Duffer Bros' (Matt and Ross Duffer) Stranger Things 4 is one of many shows whose productions are grounded over the growing coronavirus pandemic, doesn't mean you can't get your Upside-Down fix. Head on over to Carpool Karaoke: The Series (after you're done reading about this week's "Video Store Fridays", that […]

Despite being announced as a monthly series of one-shots, the second volume Generation Two: Age of the Metahuman was not included in DC Comics' June 2020 solicitations. Some divined from this that a) the Generation one-shots were being dropped and b) so was 5G. Well… not entirely. But there are changes. Intended to be published […]

While sketching on panel at C2E2 last weekend, DC Publisher Jim Lee asked the crowd 'heard any good rumours lately?' He was initially talking about rumours launched after the departure from DC of publisher Dan DiDio by the likes of Ethan Van Sciver, that AT&T was planning to shutter DC Comics publishing if their upcoming Bleeding […]

Today's Flash #750 reveals a new self-contradictory timeline, which Wally West's Dr Manhattan-powered up Pariah must find a way to sort out. But maybe it's more that just the machinations of Manhattan that got it that way? Because today's Justice League Odyssey #19 has Epoch. The Lord of Time, making big plans for everyone and […]

Okay, so we saw a lot of this last weekend on Bleeding Cool. But we have much better definition now. And a better look at how the DC Comics Timeline is being rewritten, redefined and full of intention contradiction. All the editorial cock-ups of recent months, lampshaded, weaponised and turned into strengths, courtesy of Scott […]

The new Flash #750 – just like Wonder Woman #750 – places the characters upon a timeline. Just as Wonder Woman now first emerges in the DC Universe in 1939, working with the US President as the country dithers over joining World War II… … and just as we saw the original Green Lantern Alan […]

A few weeks ago, Bleeding Cool quoted The Green Lantern artist Liam Sharp as saying that the second twelve-issue season of the comic by Liam and Grant Morrison had been truncated to eight issues. Sadly not. 8 this time. — Liam 'Sharpy' Sharp (@LiamRSharp) January 19, 2020 Bleeding Cool suggested that this might be in […]

Okay, so lots of rumours and gossip came out of C2E2, and as ever I usually start to get to hear them on the Sunday night of the show, when lips are looser and wetter. One of which is that DC Comics has further plans for Wally West beyond his current Dr Manhattan state, and […]

On the floor of C2E2, Graphitti Designs are selling special foil-covered versions of next week's Flash #750 a week early – and for $25. Well, I've just paid a Bleeding Cool reporter that very sum and to pick up a copy. We'd previously said that the story within by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth – […]

I understand that it is too late to affect Flash #750, out at C2E2today and in comic stores on Wednesday. But it appears that a number of writers who have been working on upcoming comic books in line with the new DC Timeline, as of yesterday are being asked to make significant changes. The original […]

Some people have decided, it seems, that Dan DiDio was fired as Publisher at Warner Bros because of the 5G/Generation Five relaunch he instigated within the company over the last nine months. This is not true – and yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported, after talking to creators, that 5G was very much still on the books, […]

Last week, we learned that Supergirl's ongoing comic book series was cancelled with #42. We pointed out that there were plenty of other DC Comics selling far fewer copies that remaining uncancelled. So… why? An informed source confirms that the series wasn't cancelled for sales – artist Rachael Stott already said it was actually extended […]

So, Supergirl is cancelled with #42 in May. A surprising cancellation, I'll grant you. But if it's a sales consideration… what other DC Comics regular series sell fewer copies? And could they also be in danger? Bleeding Cool added up the card stock combined covers, and here are the titles DC COmics is currently publishing, […]

DC Comics are dropping the latest of their DC Timeline rewriting bombs, that Bleeding Cool has been reporting,  following and interpreting for some time. Generation One: Age Of Mysteries by Andy Schmidt and Doug Mahnke will take place in the First Generation of the DC Universe, which begins with the emergence of Wonder Woman during […]

Tomorrow, DC Comics will announce the sequel to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Metal. Bleeding Cool has been reporting that it is called Death Metal, but they could have changed it. It will also serve as a capstone to Snyder's Justice League, which ended on a cliffhanger before the new team took over the book. We understood that it was […]

DC's Generation Zero is the revealed name for DC Comics; big Free Comic Book Day title starring Wally West and Wonder Woman. With a cover from Francis Manapul, this 32 page free comic book will contain: "Flash Forward: Epilogue" an extension of the  conclusion to the Flash Forward six-issue miniseries, with all-new content from the series team […]

Tom King was a guest on John Sientres' Word Balloon podcast over the weekend. During which he talked about all manner of comics and movie projects, but also the end of his run on Batman and his plans for Batman/Catwoman with Clay Mann. When being asked about his decision to kill Alfred Pennyworth off and […]

This is a panel from towards the end of today's Justice League #39 by Scott Snyder and Jorge Jimenez. With the Spectre and the Phantom Stranger narrating the nature of the character's reality. 'Events that unfolded outside your purview, some disconnected from your reality altogether but deeply felt and impactful.' It's one of a number […]

Okay, so this is just a punt. An idea. Joining dots where there may be no dots. Mindless speculation. But this kind of thing usually works out fairly well. Today sees the publication of Wonder Woman #750, which launches the new DC Timeline and tells a story by Scott Snyder and Bryan Hitch of Wonder […]
