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…

We know from the publicity that DC Vertigo are publishing graphic novel adaptaions of the Millenium Trilogy, with Denise Mina and Leonardo Manco adapting the first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo into two parts.

Stan’s Bach? Make Sweet Music With Stan Lee For Free
The previously promoted Stan Lee Documentary needs a classical orchestral background. But doesn’t want to pay for it. So they’re looking for Marvel fans with a few strings to their bow, holes in their flute and most definitely non-union to volunteer to provide the score. So if you’d like to work with the multi-multi millionaire…

Shots From The Batman XXX Porn Set?
Bleeding Cool reported on the trailer for a Batman porn parady shoot, starring some of the bigger names in Hollywood porn, last month. Well, porn star Lexi Belle has tweeted a couple of pictures yesterday that do look rather familiar. It appears that Lexi wil be playing a version of Harley Quinn, while The Joker…
Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #36: Filmmaking Is An Altered State
While typing with the BAFTA Awards in the background, I’m given to thinking about the exalted position Movies still hold, even as the medium and industry are in danger of becoming socially irrelevant due to the rising costs of production in a bad economy. Movies still carry Glamour and Mystique for people. Even when they…
The First Million Dollar Comic Book
The boys at GeekChicDaily were going gaga today of the likelihood of a copy of Detective Comics #27 going for a record breaking auction price of $300,000 later in the month. But while they were caught up in Batmania, another comic was selling for over three times that. The Kansas City edition of Action Comics…
Don Murphy Responds To Kevin O’Neill
Don Murphy is a movie producer, with films such as Natural Born Killers, Apt Pupil, From Hell, LXG and Transformers under his belt, with Deadman, Grant Morrison’s WE3, Splice and Neil Gaiman’s directoral debut on Death on the way. I first encountered Don Murphy after a blazing flame war between us on the Newsarama boards…
Jim Lee’s Variant Cover To Stephen King (And Scott Snyder’s) American Vampire
DC Comics’s Vertigo imprint have released the previouisly-unannounced Jim Lee cover to American Vampire, half written by Stephen King, half by Scott Synder, and all drawn by Rafael Alberquerque. That should give the Final Cut-Off orders a bit of a boost I think… now all they need is a catfight with Twilight. King states “That’s…
Wizard Makes It A Dozen – Nashville Comic Con And On
Gareb Shamus has bought the ten year old Nashville Comic & Horror Festival and has renamed it Nashville Comic Con Wizard World Convention for later this year. This marks the twelth announced Wizard World branded Comic Con in 2010. Existing show organiser Marc Ballard will, as now expected, continue to work on the show. Ballard…
Speculator Corner – What’s Hot To Trot?
This is a dangerous game. Looking at just published or just-about-to-be published books and making predictions for the speculator market as to what comics will go up in value. And which won’t. If anyone starts putting any actual money into it, they could most likely come a cropper. And more fortunes have been lost on…
Those Cry For Justice Double Page Spreads
DC’s The Source blog just put up a preview of this week’s issue of Justice League: Cry For Justice #7. But in doing so, cruelly split up two double page spreads… well, here they are for your enjoyment, joined together like God intended. That’s better. Now the buildings can all collapse together.
How DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee Saved The Black Dossier
Kevin O’Neill has given an extensive interview to Douglas Wolk at The Comics Journal about his career. During which he talks about the issues with DC Comics and The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen that led to some remarkable decisions and actions on both sides. A brief summary – Alan Moore announced he was to pull…

MillarWatch:When posters collide… And just in case you thought @Not_Mark_Millar was an exaggeration, Mark Millar tells us his latest plans with Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn. VAUGHN AND I JUST DECIDED ON OUR NEW MOVIE. Details to follow. Am doing a talk and a Kick-Ass preview at the GFT in Glasgow on Friday or I’d have…

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…
