So yes, publishers weren't up for paying Colleen Doran an advance to cover the creation of the Good Omens graphic novel. So they kickstarter it instead, and raised over two million so far, a comics record for crowdfunding. Don't bet against

That's why DC must divorce Superman and Lois, and Marvel must divorce Reed and Sue, Ben and Alicia, and Peter Parker and Mary Jane... oh wait, they kinda did the last one.

I think that may be good advice for some, especially in America, but self deprecatory humour can be a sign of confidence, and can present a more approachable and relatable persona. Brits for example will never take you seriously if you can’t laugh at yourself,

Back to basics then? Doctor Who's original intention was historical education for kids and Sidney Newman didn't want even aliens. Mind you he also wanted a female Doctor in the eighties...
Putting this out here so it's searchable - 02039656966 or 0203 9656966 or 0203 965 6966- is a scam phone number from people pretending to be from HMRC and threatening legal action. My wife almost got caught and has been freaking out.
In 2011, Bleeding Cool broke the story of what would later be called the New 52. . Well, later today, it's time for Bleeding Cool to do it all over again. Are you all-in?

I'm not entirely sure the suitcases full of booze wheeled down from the Trafalgar Square Tescos on a regular basis can be dismissed as easily as a bit of cake.

I have been told that until very recently, Jae Lee hadn't heard of CG, he is not on social media. Once he caught up he turned down subsequent requests.

Would you ever be willing to share details, even privately? These things should be recorded as having existed, even if they never made it out.
Can we have an addendum to Godwin's Law that, when the person you are arguing with on Twitter says that Nazism is left wing because it stands for National Socialism, you just automatically stop and go about your day?

Would you believe that would be the case if you had taken hormones to lower your total testosterone level in serum below 2.5 nmol/L for a period of at least 24 months?

You think you can walk away? That you can just walk away? You can never walk away! On your death bed people will still be asking you about your thoughts on Mary Marvel's skirt length!!
Michael Davis, founder of Milestone, co-creator of Static Shock and dammit, my friend, took his life yesterday. Please, if you ever find yourself in this place, talk to someone. Please.

Some people want an article about a sensitive topic, that takes days of researching, fact checking sources, ensuring strict editorial guidelines and legal necessities are followed, immediately. And if there isn't one within 5 minutes, presume there won't be one. I blame ChatGPT.

The Village Voice reported Alan Moore's "terraced streets of Northampton" as "terrorist streets of Northampton". I loved that.
MD Bright RIP. I loved your work, especially with Priest. It's been a hell of a day. But your Quantum And Woody will live on forever, and your Icon was an icon.

Clarkson got sacked for punching a producer. Lineker criticised the government's language. If he'd have punched Rishi, he'd have been sacked.
Just saw Deadpool And Wolverine and it was great. You know that audience cheer when Cap picked up the hammer in Endgame? I counted six of those. People are going to lose their shit in a good way. No one is ready for this.

As a hack in very different field, some of my best industry sources slag me off in public, so as to ensure no one suspects - they often clear it with me, but I'm okay with it, I know the game. Is this different in Whitehall?
'A rich vein of mystic British visionaries continued from William Blake to Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare, snaking its way to the poverty-stricken Boroughs of Northampton where, in 1953, Alan Moore was born...'
