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…

Avatar Star Sam Worthington Is… Dan Dare?
Look, he may be Australian, but he was born in the UK, okay? That makes him one of ours and perfectly eligible to play Britain’s iconic military spacefarer, Dan Dare: Pilot Of The Future.

PREVIEW: Hate You Forever: How To Channel Your Rage Into Effective Supervillainy by M.D. Wilson
M.D. Wilson has written a number of most informative articles about Bleeding Cool on the website International Society of Supervillains. It’s only fair that we return the favour for his new spinoff book, Hate You Forever: How to Channel Your Rage into Effective Supervillainy. So yes, in common with a number of books such as…
Jedward Appear In Batman And Robin?
Heavily-mocked-then-feted stars of the most recent series of The X-Factor singing performace talent show on ITV, Jedward, have made their mark in the most recent issue of Batman And Robin from DC Comics. If by way of a minor sex change. Written and drawn by British creators Grant Morrison and Andy Clarke, the series…

Thursday Runaround – Pride, Prejudice, Zombies, Barnes And Noble
Barnes&NobleWatch: I wake to discover that Barnes & Noble seem to be happily shipping the relatively-limited range of potential-glitch hardcover comics ordered yesterday. Many of the affected books have sold out, and so Barnes & Noble, in a fit of common sense, won’t allow people to order books they don’t have in stock. I know,…
Twilight Manga Holds Leaks… Mostly
So shops who ordered Twilight: The Graphic Novel Vol 1 through Diamond received their copies on Tuesday/Wednesday this week, with a rushed through shipping date order to hold the books until the street sale date of next Tuesday. And, just as with Blackest Night #6, most people did. Which is probably a massive act of restraint considering the…
Is The Glitch Happening Again – This Time With Barnes & Noble?
Okay, it’s quite small at the moment… but right now the Alan Moore Alan Davis Captain Britain Omnibus is $10.79 at Barnes & Noble as are the Bendis and Maleev Daredevil Omnibus, Vol 2 and the Tomb of Dracula Omnibus, Vol 2 . A lot of other Omnibi are sold out but… look just what…

ReadAlongAComic With Marvel – Amazing Spider-Man #620
Marvel have begun a new video series called Marvel Reading Circle, in which staffers gather and between them dissect a recently published comic book of theirs, while eating their combined bodyweight in food.

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…
