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…

Smell Like Iron Man, Then Read The Comic
I have no idea what it smells like. But considering that the Iron Man fragrance Only The Brave is from the Diesel brand, I’m thinking something industrial. The smell of the manual worker. Basically a combination of oil and stale sweat. If you want to risk it, Diesel are giving away ten bottles of the…
Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet #3 – Death Spoilers
I know, I know, it’s a bit of a spoilery day really isn’t it? Mind you Marvel have not seemed to have bothered YouTube about that Iron Man 2 clip yet, and Dynamite Entertainment are devilishly keen to let you know about the death reveal and the final covers in Green Hornet #3, shipping today…

Opportunities like this don’t come along too often.

Iron Knives Out For Iron Man 2
The first Iron Man was one hell of a surprise. Expectations weren’t exactly high, we were expecting a Transformers-style mixture of bombast and explosions. And instead we got a witty, engaging story of one man’s journey from overconfident ass, pride coming before a fall, lifting himself up by his own iron bootstraps into becoming an…
Spoilers: Post-Credits Scene From Iron Man 2
A post-credit sequence at the end of the first Iron Man movie starring Samuel Jackson and linking the movie with the now-established wider Marvel Studios continuity was withheld from press and premiere showings. Well, it seems the same has happened for Iron Man 2. However the scene has been shown *somewhere* and put onto YouTube….
Alan Moore Creates Supergroup – With Godflesh, Faith No More, Hella, Mogwai, DoseOne and Fog
Two/three years ago Comic Book Resources, I reported extensively on the Alan Moore/Mitch Jenkins project Unearthing, based on the Moore’s extended essay about his magical life experiences with Steve Moore. At the time it was to be a story told with illustrative photographs and fumetti comics and would be published by Top Shelf, and accompanied…

Let The Wrong One In – John Ajvide Lindqvists Vs Dark Horse Comics
It was recently reported that Dark Horse Comics and Hammer Films were going to collaborate on a number of projects, including a comic based on the US remake of Swedish movie Låt den rätte komm (Let The Right One In) now renamed Let Me In. And they’ve been looking at the original novel by John…
The Comic Book Movie That Actually Did Rather Well Last Week
In the wake of Kick-Ass and The Losers underperforming, and fears for Jonah Hex and Scott Pilgrim, here’s a non-Avenger/JLA-related comic book movie that has done rather well at the box office. Just not the USA/Canadian one. Two weeks ago, Les aventures extraordinaires d’Adèle Blanc-Sec (The Extraordinary Adventures Of Adèle Blanc-Sec) opened in France in…

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…
