Jonathan Hickman, having to “Pull Back” writing Spider-Man: Long Way Home in The Daily LITG, for the 7th of May, 2026
Jonathan Hickman, having to “Pull Back” writing Spider-Man: Long Way Home, 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 seven years. Founded seventeen 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 runaround the day before and possibly the day ahead. In summary, you can sign up to receive Lying In The Gutters as an email here. And maybe you just have.

Bleeding Cool continued to report from the comics industry shutdown. With more from Wonder Woman’s cosplay adventures, Shane Davis fighting for his artwork and the mystery of Michael Grey.
Comics folk are always getting older and still celebrating that special date.
