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…

Guardians Of The Globe – Chase Variant?
It was the ad campaign parodying the Avengers’ new ads, that suggested the new Image Comics team book may be made up of Invincible, Spawn, President Obama, Rick Grimes and Harry Potter. And now we know that the real lineup will be announced next week. But it looks like a certain someone has ruled herself…

Ripping The Deadpool Cover Off A Siege #3
Aaron Haaland of A Comic Shop in Orlando films himself tearing up Blackest Night crossover covers to send in to get a Deadpool Siege variant. Then gets his Deadpool variant and decided to go a little further. Or give him a copy of Cry Of Justice, someone.
Short ‘n Curlies #34 by Si Spurrier
BRAINFART: I long to live in a world in which “toilet rolls” are a complex Acrobatic Manoeuvre reserved for an extremely specialist Olympics Event, rather than a shitrag wound round cardboard. Just saying. The AutoCue Says Keep Filling: Exciting news coming out of Porton Down recently. For the uninitiated, that’s the Ministry of Defence’s facility…
SCOOP: Action Comics #1 To Break Comics World Record Next Week
I understand Stephen Fishler’s 8.5 CGC copy of Action Comics #1, previously reported on BleedingCool.com will be sold next week, possibly as early as Tuesday. Unofficially it is already the most expensive comic, bought by Fishler last week for what I’m told is “at least a hundred thousand over the previous record”. So that’s a minimum of…

Warner Bros has announced they will be releasing a big superhero movie every summer from Green Lantern in 2011, on.

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…
