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…

Lying In The Gutters – 24th January 2011
So that was a big day today. The world’s first review of Paul and the comics that go into it. Breaking the Wizard story and forcing the company to go public. And something tells me it’s not going to let up tomorrow at all. Top Ten Traffic Stories Of The Week 1. First Look At…
World’s First Review Of Paul
Both written by and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Paul‘s success was always going depend to quite some extent on their interplay. Luckily, we know from Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz that they can make a great blend. If there was any question of this smooth mix being repeated here, it…
As Seen In PAUL: The Comics
Brendon and I are just out of seeing PAUL at the Odeon on Leicester Square. He’s busily tapping out a very considered review of the intracacies of the film, with occasional interjections from me, while I’m just letting you know what comic books appear in it. Dynamite and Robert Kirkman should be very happy…. As…
Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #84: The Toons On The New Wonder Woman TV Series
So NBC has picked up David E. Kelly’s new WONDER WOMAN show. Of course the ‘Toons will have something to say about it… Tie me up with a magic lasso at lookitmoves@gmail.com I’ve begun the official LOOK! IT MOVES! twitter feed.

Full List Of Nominations For The Razzies And Details On How You Can Vote
Once upon a time, The Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, were risk-taking, contentious and provocative. Lately, they seem to have become rather more boring, and even allow actors who are “in on the joke” a platform to curry favour with film fandom’s cyncics – see, for example, the in-person appearances of Sandra Bullock and Halle…
Wizard World Inc. Goes Public
A busy day of Wizard news today. As per pr, Wizard World Inc. is going public, will continue producing pop culture conventions, and launch a digital magazine: New York, NY (January 24, 2011) – Gareb Shamus, recently appointed President and CEO of public company Wizard World, Inc. (“Wizard World”) (OTC: GOEE.PK), today announced that the…
SCOOP: Wizard Magazine & Toyfare To Close Immediately (UPDATE)
Now this is an end of an era. I am receiving multiple confirmations from across the industry, through none yet from Wizard’s higher ups and PR people yet, that Wizard: The Guide To Comics, the magazine that covered the mainstream comics industry for twenty years and created all manner of careers in the process has…
Delicious, Delicious Babies: Ten Questions with Mike Wolfer
Keith Davidsen writes for Bleeding Cool. For over twenty years, writer/artist Mike Wolfer has been terrifying comic fans with work on such horror titles as Widow, Godzilla, Friday the 13th, and Alan Moore’s Yuggoth Creatures. He’s taken the reins alongside Warren Ellis in bringing combat magicians and ‘shroom-tripping barbarians to life in the multiple Gravel…
Concept Art From Dreamworks Animations’ Mr. Peabody And Sherman
This dog is going to have the voice of Robert Downey Jr. You tell me if you can see that working. I can. In fact, I can even see Downey in the dog’s face, a little. This concept art for Dreamworks’ upcoming big-screen adaptation of Peabody and Mr. Sherman appeared on Cartoon Brew, but there’s…
The Smurfs Have A Whole New Problem To Face In This Poster Of Their Butts
Here’s a German poster for The Smurfs that reveals whole new problem for the wee blue men and… woman. These characters have never had to be drafted with such texture before. They’ve just been little graphic shapes. Now, seeing as they have to exist in live-action environs for their new feature film, they had to…
Tomorrow Is Fantastic Four Death Day!
Yes of course the status quo will be reverted to at some point. Yes, it will probably be after the end of a twelve issue run of FF which will then be re-renamed and renumbered as Fantastic Four #600. But Jonathan Hickman is one of the finest modern commercial comic book writers. His Fantastic Four…
Who Will Buy Superman #1, #2 And #3?
It’s not often that copies of Superman #1, #2 and #3 come onto the market. It’s even less often that they come on all at once. Well, All About Books And Comics are selling their copies, bought from Sothebys in 1992. Issue #1 is flat and clean with off-white pages, but the front and back…

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…
