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…

Brian Bendis Spends Morning With Spider-Man 4 Team
Well, this makes a lot of sense. Bleeding Cool has been pointing out that if Sony really want to make a film based on Ultimate Spider-Man then they should really work with the man who wrote Ultimate Spider-Man, who transferred that in part into TV animation, and who has a film deal set up with…
Cineworld Blink Under Mouse Stare
Earlier this week, Bleeding Cool reported that the three main cinema chains in the UK were boycotting the release of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland in proteest at Disney’s decision to shorten the cinema-exclusive window from 17 weeks, to 12 weeks when the DVD will be released. This happened last year with Pixar’s Up, and…

3D Doctor Who Trailer To Run In Cinemas Before Alice In Wonderland
I’m hopefully seeing Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland this Friday. It’s a preview screening, so I don’t know if they’ll be running the trailers before it that will be seen in cinemas. If, of course, it is seen in cinemas. But if everything does get sorted out, I understand that the BBC will be running…

Mark Millar Talks About His Aborted Superman Revamp
I knew it would only be a matter of time before a media source would talk to Millar about those Superman movie plans again, in the light of Warener Bros’ decision to shit rather than get off the pot. IGN has the video.
Thursday Runaround – Films Open, Shops Close…
FishWatch: NPR totally and utterly geeks out over the return of Aquaman in Blackest Night. Seriously. It’s embarrassing. BAD NEWS!

Graphic.Ly Buys iFanboy
A few months ago they were a start-up company in the North East of England, competing for grants investment from venture capital firms. Now they are making investments of their own. The digital comics publishing company Graphic.Ly has bought the comics podcast site iFanboy.com. And it’s not just for the excellent forward-thinking URL. Graphic.Ly will…

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.

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…
