Well I must have done something right. Cryptozoic sent me the Locke & Key card game today. And I opened it. And filmed myself doing it too. Welcome to the new Locke & Key unboxing event…
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. But first, they feel they must follow their hearts (hooves), and use their connections to get a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic made!…
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…

Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine by Aaron and Kubert, Astonishing X-Men by Ellis and Andrews
So, “Astonishing” is now to be a new kind-of line at Marvel, just as Ultimate and All Star are. This will be set in-continuity though aimed at being very new-reader friendly. So we have Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine by Jason Aaron and Adam Kubert and relaunching Astonishing X-Men as Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis 1 from Warren Ellis and…
Boom! To Enrage Right-Wing Blogosphere With REPUGLICANS…
Looks like someone’s thought to give Marvel, Ed Brubaker and Captain America #602 a little bit of a breather. Boom! Studios, as part of their new BoomTown imprint, are publishing Repuglicans!, a series of caricatures of well known US Republican politicians, with commentary for each, in the manner of a 1950 B-Movie. The press release…
Kevin Smith To Kill Off Green Hornet Character Permanently
When Kevin Smith wrote for Daredevil, he killed off Karen Page and Mysterio. He does that kind of thing. Well now he’s doing it to Green Hornet. In issue 3 the unmade movie script adaptation by Dynamite, it’s been announced that either Britt Reid Jr, the original Kato or his daughter, the new Kato, will…
Something Beginning With D #2 by Alasdair Stuart: Other People’s Toys
Tabletop roleplaying is in a bit of an odd place at the moment. Dungeons & Dragons, long the flagship and millstone of the hobby is now effectively two churches, Pathfinder and 4th Edition, old stalwarts like GURPS and World of Darkness are starting to wane and the prophets of doom who’ve predicted comicmageddon for the…

Courtesy of Cool Toy Reviews, from the Toy Fair… Kick Ass action figures. Looks like there are some of those Mallow-style figures too… In related Kick-Ass news, looks like Forbidden Planet are selling the Kick-Ass hardcover right now – ahead of its street date. Jump on!
Brave New Angoulême by Jim Wheelock
Coming back from an eleventh hour threat of the loss of major financing, this year’s edition of the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée promised a lot — from the city’s new comics museum to the return of Angoulême’s favorite American son, Robert Crumb. As always, the F.I.B.D. delivered in ways I didn’t expect. Most…
How The Blogosphere Learned To Hate Captain America
Okay, buy now we’ve read the scandal about Captain America #602 released two weeks ago. We’ve scratched our heads wondering why this is still an issue. We’ve sold our copy on eBay and are planning to use the proceeds to fund anti-American abortion clincs. But the train keeps rolling on, and the blogs have found…

But we know Neal Adams is writing and drawing a twelve-issue Batman mini-series, The Odyssey, to be scripted by Frank MIller and inked by a number of people, including Scott Williams and Kevin Nowlan. But here, just…
Sex And Comics On Valentine’s Day
Wicked Grounds, a coffee shop-cum-sex shop in San Francisco held an erotic comic book convention a couple of weeks ago. And rather a lot of fans of either comic books, sex, or both filled the place till it was rather… engorged. Attending were the likes of Ted Naifeh (Courtney Crumren), Justin Hall (Glamzonia, the Uncanny…
Sunday Runaround – KidCosPlay
iPhoneWatch: Pocket God is the first iPod game to be adapted into a comic book, with Ape Entertainment, both digitally and in print. FilmWatch: CinemaSpy tag Christopher Pine to play Steve Rogers in First Avenger: Captain America. He did have a wondefully punchable face in Star Trek, I do hope he’ll continue in that tradition……
Soldier Creates Graphic Novel About Gulf War
It starts with a pun. But end with a whimper. Art And Mines is a new graphic novel by ex-soldier Glenn Fitzpatrick who fought in the Gulf War in 1991 when he was nineteen, as part of the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars, driving a tank. A cartoonist even then, painting characters on the side of…

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…
