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…

DC Comics Failed To Stop Fantastic Four #587 Early Release
I understand that the runup to the release of Fantastic Four #587 a day early this week caused all sorts of interesting meetings. Marvel had announced that, ostensibly to prevent spoilers, retailers could release Fantastic Four #587 as they received them on Tuesday, rather than wait till the official Wednesday on-sale date. Of course Marvel…

Ridley And Tony Scott Producing Le Mans Race Miniseries
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool What do you think of when you hear the phrase “period piece”? Clearly you think of exciting, fast moving car chases, right? If not, you’re about to. Brothers Ridley and Tony Scott are about to redefine the way we look at period dramas with an upcoming BBC 4-part miniseries,…
New Favourites For The Dark Tower Include Christian Bale
Though Ron Howard has publicly named Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortenson as his top picks for the lead role in The Dark Tower TV series and movies, a new report tells a different story. According to Page Six of The New York Post, Christian Bale is the man most likely to get the job. It…

What Would Josh Do by Josh Adams – No Spoilers But…Someone Dies
Josh Adams writes for Bleeding Cool. If there is one thing about comics that is mistreated more than anything it’s death. I know, there is a lot that we can criticize in the comic industry and I will be glad to, not because I hate it but because I love it and want to see…
John Travolta In Talks To Star As John Gotti?
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool Nothing says “feel good movie” like a film about a violent, murderous crime boss. I can hear the sobs of joy now. Back in September, a man by the name of Marc Fiore purchased the rights to mobster John Gotti’s life story and is crafting a movie simply named…
Wednesday Comics Reviews: Avengers #9 and New Avengers #8
Yes, this is one of those weeks where Marvel pile up the comics and do a good job of flooding the market. Hence a number of Avengers titles, including the two main ones, both written by Brian Bendis. But they couldn’t be more different. And that’s just a bit weird. Daniel Acuna’s work on New…
Wednesday Comics Reviews: Wonder Woman #606 and Age Of X: Alpha
We’re looking at two remade worlds here. Wonder Woman, herself remade and her history rewritten. Age Of X, the cast recreated and a world redone. And everyone’s got a new costume. Wonder Woman continues the Joe Michael Straczynski reboot with Phil Hester co-writing, Eduardo Pansica pencilling and the cast of Glee inking. In the last…

Nevs Coleman is a man with a multitude of hats, including nearly 2 decades of comics retailing, UKCACing, punk rocking, stand up poeting and indeed, the like. He writes for Bleeding Cool… Before we got started, click the link below. I promise it’s not NSFW. Rob Liefeld’s Zombie Jesus. Okay, I admit it, I thought…
James Franco In Talks To Star In Second Linda Lovelace Biopic
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool: I don’t know what it is about the movie industry, but when one idea emerges, it is followed closely by another similar idea. Armageddon and Deep Impact. A Bug’s Life and Antz. The Illusionist and The Prestige. The list goes on. Well, it seems to be happening again. Deadline…

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…
