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…
The First Page Of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Revealed At Angoulême
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. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…

Radical Publishing Becomes Radical Studios, Values Itself At $84,000,000 (BleediLeaks)
I recently had the good fortune to find a confidential document regarding the financial plans and predictions for Radical Publishing from September 2010. Good fortune for me, that is. Not Radical, who made a number of legal threats to stop me from writing anything about the document and accusations about its origin. I happened to…
Captain America Captured By The Empire
Thanks to the new Empire magazine, we get a great look at the new Captain America, both outside… And inside… Is it me, or does he already look like an action figure?
Flashpoint Monday: Two Down, Five To Go – Secret Seven by Peter Milligan and George Perez?
On the basis that it is unlikely George Perez will be drawing two Flashpoint mini-series, it looks as if Peter Milligan with be writing Secret Seven, drawn by George Perez with Shade The Changing Man and Enchantress in the lineup. He tells Newsarama; I’m writing a Flashpoint mini-series – with art by George Perez –…
“She Looks Phenomenal In The Wardrobe” – Wally Pfister On Anne Hathaway As Catwoman
Kevin McCarthy of Washington DC’s Kevin and Josh Movie Show this week had a good long chat with Wally Pfister, Chris Nolan’s regular cinematographer, and I was lucky enough to be invited to join in and ask a few questions of my own. You may have taken part in the protest yourself, but in case…
New Die Hard Film Rumor – Could A Gruber Be Back To Battle John McClane?
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool I like franchise resurrections. Say what you will, but I enjoyed the latest Rambo and the last Indiana Jones. Some people scoff at such a confession, but I don’t care. I liked both films because they stuck to the nature of their predecessors. But the Die Hard franchise has…
Director Tom Hooper Not Happy About Possible Recut Of The King’s Speech
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool The King’s Speech was one of the best films to be released last year. If you told me to rank my favorites, it would surely be in my top three. While this is certainly no place for a review, suffice to say I found the film masterful. I can’t…
Lying In The Gutters – 31st January 2011
Last year, January proved a turning point for Bleeding Cool as traffic ramped up. It was no difference this year, with a record breaking week that will hopefully, as it did last year, map out the future direction of the site. So what were those traffic busting stories? Top Ten Traffic Posts Of The Week…
Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #85: Superman is a Dick and Lois Lane is a Shrew!
Oh look, they’ve finally cast Superman. Now the next hurdle is the studio’s struggle to make Superman feel relevant to the young ‘uns and not something their granddads were into. The current comics are still struggling to make Superman feel relevant but everyone seem to have forgotten that during the 1960s, when DC and Marvel…
After Facing Down Sarah Palin, Now Archie Must Deal With Dinosaurs
Ex-Marvel Editor-In-Chief Tom DeFalco takes Archie to the land that time may have forgotten but clearly hair straighteners had not. Drawn by Fernando Ruiz, the first part is published at the end of March, available at all good supermarket checkouts near you. Say, I wonder if Joe Quesada will be writing this kind of stuff…
Five Things About The Town On Blu-Ray And DVD, With Contributions From Ben Affleck
Disclaimer: Much of what follows originated in a piece I wrote before The Town‘s theatrical release last September. There is new material, however, including some discussion of the film’s Blu-ray presentation. On Sunday 19 September 2010, I attended a BAFTA screening of The Town and took part in a Q&A with Ben Affleck and Rebecca Hall…
L’il Being Human
As SyFy starts their own American Being Human version, last night, the Red Button service on BBC3 delivered an interesting postscript to the new episode of the original British version. A character introduced in the new series, the forty-six year vampire Adam, trapped in an unaging fourteen year old body, got his own spinoff series….
Flashpoint Monday – The Fifteenth Flashpoint Title?
I have been told of two potential titles for the as-yet-unnamed fifteenth Flashpoint mini-series. I know nothing more about it, and it’s very possible these titles are not right, all I know is that they were once in consideration. They may have both have been junked for another. So, if either of these aren’t the…

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…
