On my way to MCM London Comic Con, Spring 2025… last night's Soho shindig with a variety of comics guests from the show went down rather well, but now it is time for the show, proper. And I am on my way, passing through Farringdon on the Elizabeth line… South Park Permanent Resident was the most-read story on Bleeding Cool yesterday. Lying In The Gutters is the daily runaround for the most-read stories the day before, as well as over the past six years. Founded sixteen years ago and steeped in a history of comic book industry gossip for a further eighteen years before that, Bleeding Cool has become one of the longest-standing and most well-known pop culture websites around. The Daily Lying In The Gutters remains a long-running run around the day before and possibly the day ahead. You can sign up to receive it as an email here. And maybe you just have.
