As Bleeding Cool told you, there have indeed been initial high-level talks between Warners and Disney about approving some kind of Marvel/DC joint comics project to come out of the impact of the current coronavirus pandemic, but these are in only the very early stages. I have also heard rumours that we may see a […]

Back in the late noughties, Peter Milligan wrote a comic book for WildStorm called Zombistas!, described as a zombie-story set in Mexico and California about an American company who are trying to create the perfect non-unionized labour force, talking about it saying "there's some politics in there, using the walking dead guys as a way […]
Yesterday, Bleeding Cool put up the new DC Universe Timeline shown off at the DC Nation panel at New York Comic Con. It caused quite a fuss. Especially at DC Comics who didn't realise this might happen quite so fast, I'm told. Anyway. And we got a closer look at each of the Generations. Such […]
The clock continues ticking down (a little too slowly for our liking, if we're being completely honest) to the premiere of Amazon Prime Video's adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic book series The Boys on July 26th. Now over the past few weeks, viewers have been treated to introductions to superhero team The Seven as well as anti-supes squad […]
Amazon is wasting no time evening out the playing field between The Seven and Butcher's "boys", following up the casting of Laz Alonso (The Mysteries of Laura) as second-in-command Mother's Milk with news that Jack Quaid (The Hunger Games) will be joining the ranks of the streaming service's adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic book series The Boys.

So this is a story I have been following for seventeen years, since the original publication of The Authority #13 by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely in 2000. We recently looked at the Wildstorm Oral History account of what went down in those days. John Layman: All these issues were in the pipeline including this […]
Back in July, DC Comics teased some mixing between the proper DC universe and Warren Ellis's Wildstorm universe when they revealed in a press release about the upcoming Wild Storm spinoff, Michael Cray: Warren Ellis' critically acclaimed relaunch of WildStorm gets its first solo spinoff series! Michael Cray, professional assassin, has been betrayed by International […]
It may not be as perfect a way to celebrate Wildstorm's 25th anniversary as being a month late… er, two months late… but it'll do. DC Comics announced a digital sale of Wildstorm comics to celebrate Wildstorm's 25th anniversary. Starting today and running through August 29, the sale includes 200 Wildstorm issues available for just […]

Written by Bryan Hill (with "contributions" by Ellis) and drawn by N. Steven Harris and Dexter Vines, the solicit (and DC's press release) hints at a DCU […]
Back on Free Comic Book Day, or rather the day after since the Comic Bug made it last two days… I sat next to the talented Barbara Randall Kesel and enjoyed hearing stories of her years in the comic industry. Stories I've sworn not to repeat. Her experience as a writer (Batgirl, Hawk & Dove, […]
In the year 2000, DC Comics started censoring The Authority by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely, the flagship comic book from Wildstorm, the Jim Lee-started publisher that DC Comics had purchased. We recently looked at the Wildstorm Oral History account of what went down in those days. David Baron: They didn't quite like it. This was no […]
The WildStorm Oral History has been released. A massive collection of interviews with people who worked at or worked for Jim Lee's WildStorm Studios in the nineties and noughties before – and after – the DC Comics buyout, stripped and stranded chronologically and by theme. And what better time to release it than on WildStorm's 25th […]

This is Jim Lee's cover to The Wild Storm #2, as revealed to retailers at ComicsPRO. And here's Justin Bieber. Look, Justin has a pouch as well. Part of a series it seems…
Following in the procrastinating footsteps of Wildstorm founder Jim Lee, an oral history book telling the story of Wildstorm has finally made its way to Kickstarter, after two and a half years of development. Called Wild Times: An Oral History Of WildStorm Studios, the 450 page book features interviews with more than 75 comics personalities, […]
It was noted, in the DC Rebirth announcement, a definite absence of anything Wildstorm-related. The comic publisher/imprint bought by DC Comics as part of the deal that made Jim Lee a vice president of the publisher and then co-publisher, saw Wildstorm books and characters published by DC, then integrated into the New 52. Stormwatch, Team 7, […]
