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…

BONNYROAD – The New Grant Morrison/Paul McGuigan/Stephen Fry Project
The New Grant Morrison/Paul McGuigan/Stephen Fry Project is called Bonnyroad. Bonnyroad is the name of the new Grant Morrison/Paul McGuigan/Stephen Fry project for BBC Scotland. It is, presumably about a road. That is a bit bonny. Stephen Fry is the modern Renaissance man, actor, writer, director, presenter, documentary maker, stand up comedian, technology advocate and…
Frazer Irving Finally On Batman And Robin
It’s an age since I first heard rumours that Frazer Irving was to draw Grant Morrison’s Batman And Robin. Initially I think it was meant to be after Frank Quitely’s run. Then after Philip Tan’s run. Then it was announced by DC that he would join the book after Cameron Stewart’s run. Well now DC…

The premier publishing tag is more than just an honorific,…
Clash Of The Titans Buy Google Ad Word “Kick Ass” (UPDATE)
What naughtiness! Searching “Kick Ass” on Google brings up the expected results on the left hand side of the page. The movie’s IMDB listing. The offiical web-site. The wiki-pedia page, that sort of thing. The right hand side, with sponsored links, brings up an ad for Clash Of The Titans. Saying “this epic adventure wioll…
Staging Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere by Greg Baldino
This spring, Chicago Above will become London Below as the Lifeline Theatre brings Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere to life as a stage play. Originally produced as a six episode BBC miniseries in the late nineties, Neverwhere follows a self-admitted “boring” office worker as a chance act of kindness plunges him into the strange other side of…
Did Hercules Celebrate The Art Of Greek Love?
The recent comic, Hercules: Fall of an Avenger, saw the funeral of the titular character, the Greek god superhero of Marvel. During the eulogy a number of Hercules lovers paid tribute. But there were allusions to many more. Including one embarrassed attendee. Yes, bye bye Northstar. Is Hercules to officially join the relatively small list…
Frankie Boyle’s New Graphic Novel – Hereditary
I talked about British stand-up comedian Frankie Boyle yesterday, and the possibility that he might be contributing to a Mark Millar-created anthology comic. I don’t know if this is connected, but I understand that Frankie Boyle is working on a new project called either Hereditary or Project Bloodline, as both a comic book and a…

Brightly coloured chaps, looking very peculiar… let’s go take a closer look. Surely this is the secret hiding place of the new…

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…
