Why The Hell Isn’t There A My Little Pony Comic Book?
Aaron and Mike of A Comic Show want to help fix what’s wrong with the comics industry, they swear they’ll start a regular bombastic op/ed column here on Bleeding Cool.

Jim Lee’s Hidden Tribute To Carla
Awwwww… Jim Lee finished the most recent issue of Justice League #5 just before his new child was born, and while his wife Carla was rather heavily pregnant. He’s written that the new arrival held out until he’d finished his deadline, which was appreciated by all, I’m sure. But what tribute could Jim Lee make…

A Comic Book Bar Guide To Manhattan
The piece on the Graphic Content blog the other day made me realise that no one has really done a look at the bars in Manhattan most frequented by the comic book industry. With persistent rumours of DC Comics and Marvel making moves, maybe it’s a pertinent time to look at some of the current…

Mohammad Yazid Kamal Baharin, better known as Zid, has had a brief comic book history. Steve Niles’ History Of Dust for Radical, Retrojak in Jom!

Sony, We’re Serious Here, Get Brian Bendis To Write Spider-Man 4
With all this fuss about Spider-Man 4, 5 and 6 being based on Brian Bendis and Mark Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-Man, here’s a reminder of something we proposed a few days ago – get Brian Bendis to write the damn thing! He’s written the very work that you’re wanting to base the new run of movies…
Which Will Win? Twilight Manga Or Michael Jackson’s Fated?
Entertainment Weekly cites a 350,000 first print run for the first volume of Twilight Manga. For the US sudience, this is big news. Outperforming anything at Marvel or DC. Peanuts compared to the seven-figure-selling Asterix, mind. But will there be a fly in the ointment as far as Twilight Manga taking the No. 1 English…

Variety have lead with news that AMC has given greenlights to two drama pilots, The Walking Dead and The Killing. The latter from Fox is based on the Danish TV show Forbrydelsen. But who cares about that, right? Robert Kirkman just tweeted; Variety is reporting AMC has ordered the pilot episode of THE WALKING DEAD……
Gods Head – The Best Comic I Read Today
Okay, mostly because I don’t get new comics until tomorrow. But still. Gods Head by Santiago Bovoso is an astounding comic, been made available free (though he takes Paypal donations), I’m about to send him $3.99. Seemingly inspired by a mix of Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol and Alan Moore and JH Williams III’s Promethea, it’s…

Deconstructing Rob Liefeld’s Cover To Deadpool And Cable #25
Let’s have a look at that Liefeld cover to the final issue of Deadpool And Cable #25. I mean it’s a classic Crisis homage, but what else is going on here? Look under the yellow circles and you’ll see Badrock and Shaft of Youngblood there, in a copyright busting move. They, along with many other…

New Sherlock Viral? Or Something Geekier?
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…
Frank Miller Redraws The Dark Knight
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu. Such a detailed commission from Miller, it would be quite a rarity these days and rather expensive. Albeit not quite as expensive as buying the original art, recently selling for almost half a million…
The Amazing Spider-Man Is Tidied Up A Little By An Official Blurb
Here’s an orderly and dependable plot blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man, as issued by Sony and piling up across the net (and in my inbox) like wildfire right now. There may not be any bombshells in here, but the strands come together pretty clearly. You know – like a web. The Amazing Spider-Man is the…
Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series
The last time I remember reading a Legend Of Zelda comic was back in the nineties, from Valiant Comics before they decided to move into superheroes. There’s were also a few manga books tied into specific game releases but no US licenced comics for quite some time. This could change if Joe Madueira gets his…
The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
He’s done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it’s only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright…
Warner Bros. Nix ElfQuest Movie, Pin Blame On The Hobbit
I would assume that the success of The Lord of the Rings and the huge interest in The Hobbit, not to mention the extraordinary, eight-film success of the Harry Potter series, would encourage Warner Bros. to look seriously into all of their similar options, but the studio has not to move ahead with a long-developing…
