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…

Alan Moore Participates In “Read-In” To Save Local Library
On February the 5th, there will be a protest “read in” at the St James Library in Northampton with Alan Moore, that follows a protest held there tomorrow from midday to 2pm. The library, along with many others, is suffering from local council budget cuts as the British government has been reducing council funding. Alan…
Iron Man Pizza
What more do you need to know? This is Pizza Homem De Ferro, apparently. Excellent onion placement there.
Friday Runaround – Naming The X-Men Family Tree
MillarWatch: Mark Millar talks about the Glasgow FIlm Festival and KaPow. Sadly the bit where he talked about a Green Lantern panel at Kapow has been removed since it first went up, as have the bits about his current Ultimate work with Bendis being his last Marvel/company owned work for a while… FamilyTreeWatch: Joe Stone…
Triangle, Severance And Black Death Director Favourite For Pride And Prejudice And Zombies?
Could Chris Smith, sometime Eastenders scriptwriter and creator of Craig the creep, be about the hit the Hollywood big time with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? That’s the word from Quiet Earth, citing a source “inside Lionsgate”. Well, Smith is English, even if he isn’t from the early 19th century, and he does have a…
Looks Like Saoirse Ronan Will Be In The Hobbit… Which, Sadly, Has Been Delayed
Production on The Hobbit has had to be delayed while Peter Jackson receives treatment in hospital for a perforated ulcer. It’s unfortunate for the film, but yet more unfortunate on a personal level for Peter. We, of course, offer him the best of health and a speedy recovery. Once production does begin, and it should…
Meet The Aliens From Battle: Los Angeles – Spoiler Pics?
You might consider the following images to be spoilers. I don’t know, because I don’t know when and how the aliens in Battle: Los Angeles appear. But I know that they do. And I know what they look like when they do. Scroll down past the completely irrelevant top image to find the beasties you’re…
True Grit: The Comic, Free
There’s a film, called True Grit, apparently. Made by the Coen brothers, the second time the novel has been adapted to film. But this is also the first time it’s been adapted as a comic book to promote the movie. Written by Dan Light and Ben Read, drawn by Christian Wildgoose and lettered by Jim…
Star Trek Next Generation: A XXX Parody To Film This Weekend
They’ve got a Jean Luc Picard impersonator for this one folks. Oh and it’s meant to be in continuity. The press release from Revolution X and Digital Sin goes “Star Trek: The Next Generation: A XXX Parody” is set during the sixth season of “The Next Generation”, but it will be filmed as a stand-alone…
Marvel To Follow DC With Twenty Page $2.99 Price Point
This is what I’m hearing from a number of sources right now. That Marvel is to follow DC’s move to a twenty page/$2.99 price point on a number of its books. Right now, Marvel publish pretty much equal copies of $2.99 and $3.99 twenty-two page comics, with some like the Avengers books, adding extra text…
Aardman Planning Very Ambitious Big Screen Shaun The Sheep Movie
I don’t know if you’ve caught Shaun the Sheep, the Aardman-animated spin-off of Wallace and Gromit that has been wowing anybody in England who watches TV in the afternoon (students, pensioners, the unemployed, children and me, who pretty much combines all of the above into one body) but it’s often brilliant, laugh-out-loud stuff. Exciting, then,…
Kristen Stewart And Viggo Mortenson Reportedly Lined Up For Snow White And The Huntsman
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool: It’s one thing to star in films based on a passingly popular book series about the love triangle between a human, werewolf and vampire. It’s a completely different thing to take on a literary role beloved by many for not just generations, but centuries. But that seems to be…
Michael Fassbender Lands High Profile Role In Prometheus… But Is It Actually A New Alien Movie Afterall?
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool: News about Ridley Scott’s two Alien prequels have been floating around for some time. First it was one standalone prequel, then it was announced he was planning two films, then one again, and now it appears that one of those prequels has metamorphosed into a “seemingly” separate science fiction…

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…
