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.

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…

Why Are All The Superheroes British?
America is the home of the superhero. Both in comics, TV and film, America is where the superhero has had most commercial success. So why does it seem that Hollywood is now turning to the Brits to play them all? Because, for a clean cut, musclebound guy with a pearly white smile, Britain doesn’t feel…

Jonathan Hickman Signed Fantastic Four #587 Sells For $300
Dynamic Forces are selling signed copies of Fantastic Four #587 by Stan Lee for $299.99. Of course, retailers and Diamond will take 60% of that, and Stan Lee will take a chunk himself. But it seems the writer of the death issue may be in as much demand as the original co-creator of the comic….
Plot Details For Snow White And The Huntsman Reveal The Role Of The Seven Dwarfs
Evan Daugherty’s screenplay for Snow White and the Huntsman has reinvented the familiar fairy tale as more contemporary-feeling action picture. From published details we already knew that the huntsman character had been foregrounded, whereas the Grimms only ever had him in a very minor role, but it wasn’t clear what had happened to the seven…

Kaley Cuoco Slated To Appear In American Remake Of The Orphanage
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out this was just the result of crossed wires somewhere along the line, because the source isn’t entirely clear. Anyway, on with the story… Total Film have been speaking to Mark Pellington in Sundance, where his film Melt With You premiered. Pellington is the director who inherited the American…

X-Men: First Class Set Pictures Reveal The Man In Black
Thank you, Musclenerd, for your amateur paparazzi skills. These pictures aren’t too bad at all. Posted first on Twitter, by the aforementioned Musclenerd, and then finding their way to the Superherohype forums, these snaps show James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Oliver Platt and Rose Byrne filming X-Men: First Class in LA. This is our first imageof…
John Holland, Embedded Reporter At New Orleans Wizard World Comic Con
John Holland writes for Bleeding Cool from the floor of New Orleans Wizard World. It’s 9:30 and the room is filling up with dealers and artists. We’re only 30 minutes from opening. I’ve heard that anywhere from 4,000 to 8,000 tickets have been pre-sold. Either amount would be a good showing. Aside from some smaller…

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…
