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…

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.

Will JLA Replace The X-Men In San Francisco?
Teen Titans, shove up a bit will you? The X-Men made the move to San Francisco a couple of years ago, to enjoy a spirit of tolerance they’re previously never encountered. Then the Dark Reign stuff kicked off, the army came, and the mutant crew shipped offshore to the new Utopia island, outside of US…
C2E2: The Panels In Audio
Couldn’t make it to C2E2? Really want to hear what was said? Can’t quite trust the reporting outlets to issue every nuance? Thank goodness for Jamie Colville at The Comic Books, who has put audio from a whole punch of C2E2 panels online for Bleeding Cool. And Google Audio Player for letting me embed it…
Here Comes Marvel UK To Save The Day
So the Brits aren’t getting any American comics this week? Thankfully Marvel UK has stepped up, rushing this book out a week early to make up for it. In case you missed the Captain Britain Omnibus Amazon/Barnes & Noble glitch, here begins the revamping of Captain Britain into the character we know today. Dave Thorpe…
Staging Neverwhere – The Floating Market Benefit
Greg Baldino attended the Floating Market benefit for Bleeding Cool. He writes; Last Monday, well-dressed theater patrons entered the Tiffany-domed Chicago Cultural Center to find the annual fundraising event for Lifeline Theatre overrun with strange people, weird music, and an atmosphere of transient phantasmagoria. Which was all well and good, as they’d arrived in time…
Another Avatar Plug Of The Week: Gravel #18
Gravel #18, written by Warren Ellis and Mike Wolfer, art and cover by Wolfer continuing Volume Three “The Last King Of England”. No-one’s comfortable with the king of the magicians being a British soldier who really just wants to be left alone with a bit of extra beer money in his pocket. Now, the forces…
Thor #612 – Some Days You Just Can’t Get Rid Of A Gillen
Yes it’s a queer one and no mistake. Kieron Gillen and Billy Tan were finishing their short stint on Thor with Matt Fraction and Pascual Ferry taking over from #610. Then, suddenly Kieron Gillen was asked to do another issue with Doug Braithwaite, so he did. Double-sized too. Then Matt and Pascual came on board…
Avatar Plug Of The Week: Do Anything by Warren Ellis
Warren Ellis’ Do Anything ships tomorrow in the US and sometime in the next five years in the UK. It compiles the column that Warren has written for Bleeding Cool with a few other bits and pieces. And for Brits who are still under a cloud – albeit one made of volcanic ash, here’s a…
Avatar’s Tree Of Souls For Hyde Park
To coincidentally coincide with the DVD release of Avatar – and Earth Day, natch – a replica of the Tree Of Souls from the movie is being created at Hyde Park on Speakers Corner this weekend. It will be unveiled by Stephen Lang, the biggest star from the movie they could actually get along, what…
Now The New Yorker Condemns Kick-Ass
Daily Mail, we could expect. Fox News, it was going to happen. But what about the New Yorker? Surely they will take a little more laissez-faire attitude towards a film that is after all, just a… “Kick-Ass” is violence’s answer to kiddie porn. Oh. You can see it in Hit Girl’s outfit when she cons…
Free T-Shirt Transfer With Dodgem Logic #3
What will you be wearing on your chest come convention season? The seriously fashionable amongst us will be popping on a white T-shirt, with an appropriate number of Xs before the L, after having transferred the image of this young lady onto the front with an ironing implement of sorts. Because, yes, this is the…
Why Flashpoint Won’t Be Late
He revitalised the Green Lantern characters in the DC Universe and brought them to the forefront with Blackest Night. Now, with Geoff Johns writing Flash, it looks like Barry Allen and crew will be the next group of characters to be given star status with a new series for 2011, called Flashpoint. Teased in last…

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…
