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.

The New Thundercats Cartoon – First Pic (UPDATE)
From the London Toy Fair, taken under maximum security conditions, a first look at the new Thundercats cartoon… SECOND UPDATE: Second image added to the site. Better image? Worse? UPDATE: We have more details… The character designs seem to be very anime-inspired, making them radically different to the originals. However, it didn’t give me the…
Scott Lobdell To Take A Title At DC Comics
He wrote some of the best selling issues of X-Men, ever, under group editor Bob Harras. They sold seven figures, some of them. These days they don’t even sell six. Figures that is. He also wrote some of the more mocked issues. (Not the most-most-mocked issues though.) He also wrote a parody of Watchmen that…
Graphic.ly Raises New $3 Million Funding Round
On the digital comics front, 2011 is shaping up in part to be a competition for who can do the best job developing their platform, and in many cases that means doing a good job raising funds for the dev. Graphicly has announced that they’ve closed on a new $3 million Series A round. Though…
Unboxing Fantastic Four #587
Okay, here be spoilers. Well tech blogs do this kind of thing with phones, and computers and things don’t they? I thought it might be fun to do the same with the Fantastic Four death issue… There are spoilers. Big ones. You only have yourself to blame if you press play…
Abin Sur, The Green Lantern Of Flashpoint
I understand that in the Flashpoint universe being set up in the upcoming crossover, the Green Lantern title will be renamed and renumbered as Abin Sur The Green Lantern. One can presume that the book will star the dying alien character who crashlanded on Earth and chose Hal Jordan as the successor to wield his…
Legendary Pictures, Joe Roth And Mike Slate Do Deal With GeekChicDaily

And Joe Roth (ex-Chairman of Fox and Disney) of Revolution Studios and Mike Slate (Microsoft, Apple), Mark Surfas (Gamespy), Kathy Vrabeck (Legendary Digital) and Allen DeBevoise (Machinima Chairman) have all made significant investment. And it’s all over the daily e-mail GeekChicDaily, created by Peter Levin and…
The Full List Of Oscar Nominations
Now that the live stream is done, I’ve moved the player to the bottom of this post where it should be offering a the aftershow and a replay. For those of you who’d rather just read a list of the nominees, we’ve got that coming along too. Keep refreshing to see it build up. Best…

Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: Elizabeth Olsen, the third Olsen sister, has been winning good notices at Sundance for her breakthrough role in Martha Marcy May Marlene. While publicising that movie, she revealed to Hollywood Reporter where she will be turning next. The New York University student will next play Cillian Murphy’s love interest…
Tuesday Comics Review: Fantastic Four #587
Karl at Orbital Comics in London, holding the death issue, while supressing a tear. The one thing I wasn’t expecting about the death issue of the Fantastic Four is that we wouldn’t see a death in it. Just the reaction to one. This is a story about last stands of so many people. Reed Richards…
Tuesday Runaround – Pwning Super Noobs
SpawnWatch: From Spawn #201 SecretWatch: See, lamestream media? The Edmonton Journal doesn’t feel the need to spoil Fantastic Four. And Comics Alliance decides that it could only be the figure in question by looking at all the obvious hints. Obvious after the spoiler has been published, that is. VampireWatch: Throne Of Blood: Birth Of A…
Who Dies In Fantastic Four #587? Find Out Here
The Associated Press may have told the collective media who dies in Fantastic Four #587 today, but Bleeding Cool is not going to. Not directly at least. We’ll leave commentary till later in the week, and we’ll run a non-spoilery review later today. But if you absolutely absolutely must spoil yourself, click here for the…
A View From Mark Allen Haverty, Wizard’s Ex-Price Guide Writer
Looking Backwards and Forwards, Simultaneously By Mark Allen Haverty, CrucialTaunt.com To say that this has been a difficult day would be to put it mildly. It started with my daughter waking up in the wee hours of morning to grab a snack when she should have been sleeping, so I had to go in her…

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…
