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…
The First Page Of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Revealed At Angoulême
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. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…

David Lapham On Writing Crossed Volume 2: Family Values
David Lapham writes about taking on Crossed, for Bleeding Cool. Many years ago I watched a documentary about famous Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali. In it the interviewer goes to Dali’s home to find the painter hiding behind columns and generally acting off his nut. At one point Dali says–and this is oft repeated in my…
Day Of The Dead Blu-Ray Comic
Stefan Hutchinson, writer on the Hallowe’en comic for Devil’s Due (until they stopped paying him) has written a comic based on George Romero’s Day Of The Dead threequel to Night Of The Living Dead, painted by Jeff Zornow It will be released with the’s UK 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray release of the movie (region free folks!),…
Interview: Jacen Burrows Talks About Crossed
Jacen Burrows is a slut. But he’s a choosy slut for all that. No sooner have I seen him with Warren Ellis, then he’s banging something out with Garth Ennis before dumping them both for Alan Moore. Though I hear he’s still seeing Alan Moore on the side. I asked him about his experiences at…
Interview: Garth Ennis Talks About Crossed
I first remember meeting Garth Ennis in a pub during a 2000AD party. I was sat chatting with Glenn Fabry about the architecture of Spanish churches, enjoying a few beers. Garth presumed I was pumping his inebriated friend for comics gossip and decided to make his feelings about this situation known to me physically… I’d…
Preview: Justice League America 42
DC Source previewed JLA 42 this morning. Aftermath of Cry Of Justice. Batman appearance. By James Robinson and Mark Bagley. That sort of thing. I just thought it could do with a more turn-the-pages readability over their standard template grid of thumbnail system. So, one flash reader later, here we go. This piece has nothing…
David Lapham To Write Crossed Volume 2: Family Values
Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows come to the end of their creator-owned series, Crossed, in a couple of weeks. A zombie-esque series, it sees the very worst of humanity brought forth in every infected individual, noted by the stigmata-like facial disfiguration. But, in a rare move for creator-owned series, a new volume will begin later…
Free Crossed #0 by Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows
Welcome To Crossed Day. Yes I know it’s actually pancake day. But they’re crêpe compared to this little comic book that could from Bleeding Cool’s proprietors’ Avatar. Written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Jacen Burrows, it’s a zombie-esque series that is possibly the nastiest comic book currently being published. The final issue of Crossed…
Any Excuse To Run An Alex Ross Cover…
Here’s the Alex Ross cover to Black Terror #1, coming out from Dynamite in May. Nothing more, it’s just always nice to see, don’t you think?
Dawn Richard Launches New Danity Kane Manga
I do not know who Dawn Richard is. I do not know what Danity Kane is. Thankfully there is Wikipedia. A MTV Reality TV show-created singing group from 2005, that achieved success in the USA but announced their split early last year. Richard is now a member of the group Dirty Money. Haven’t heard of…
James Patterson To Write New Comic Books For IDW
James Patterson is already a graphic novelist, but is better known for his Alex Cross and Women’s Murder Club crime novels. This might change when he writes a new series of comics for IDW. These will include both new works, sequels and adaptations of his existing work. First off the blocks is a five issue…
Pancake Day Runaround
EllisWatch: Big happy whisky-filled birthday wishes to Bleeding Cool columnist Warren Ellis. He’s known for other things than for writing his Do Anything columns for Bleeding Cool, so I’m told, but they have momentarily left my mind. Anyone who wishes to ask Warren if, indeed, 42 is the answer to life the universe and everything,…
Lying In The Gutters – 15th February 2010
Four Things I Didn’t Link To This Weekend But Should Have: 1. Neil Gaiman pwning Boing Boing. 2. Comics Alliance’s Cerebus Valentines by Chris Murphy and Laura Hudson. 3. Apologies for Kevin Smith getting booted from a plane for being too large. 4. Marvel editor Tim Quinn’s tale of being reunited with a childhood comic…

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…
