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.

Philip Bond’s Tank Girl… And Tank Girl’s Deadline
This Tank Girl image from Philip Bond was intended to be an alternate cover for the comic – but it will now be a pull out poster. Here’s a bit of it. In related news, there is a groundswell of support for a twentieth anniversary edition of the magazine Deadline, very much the CLiNT of…
Wednesday Runaround – A Fairytale
CreatorWatch: Steven Niles talks about supporting creator comics. And with news on his Wake The Dead comic getting optioned, we can see why that might be important… MilkWatch: A Chinese cartoon has been censored, though the creator denies it was intended to be satirical and is instead “a fairytale”. Say, wasn’t that the descriptive title…
And Now It’s Time For Hulk XXX
Adult performer Tanya Tate (see Bleeding Cool passim) has sent in a couple of camphone snaps from the set of Hulk XXX: A Porn Parody. Looks like it’s going for the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno look. That green paint must be a bugger to get out of certain crevices.
Speculator Corner: Did You Get The Secret Fantastic Four #587 Variant?
It has a black logo instead of a blue one. And the signature of Jonathan Hickman in silver ink on the cover. And no external sign on the bag. This is the hidden Fantastic Four #587 variant, packed one per case in the recent print run. Some people will have one without realising it. Especially…
Preview: Bryan Talbot, Alistair Robb and Paul Stephen Rafferty’s Angels And Dreadfuls
Paul Stephen Rafferty writes; Alistair Robb is the writer, tho it’s plotted by Bryan Talbot, he was pitching it to Vertigo, but now it’s being considered by someone else (Alistair’s dealing with Bryan on this, so I get any info second hand) I may have to re colour as it’s apparently too purple.

A copy of Batman: Vengeance Of Bane, the first appearance of the character now confirmed to be appearing in the new Batman movie, the Dark Knight Rises. Might you have a copy in a longbox somewhere? Might be worth digging out. They’re suddenly going for up to $60 on eBay. And a 9.8 CGC version…
Our Favourite Batman Live! Auditions
I met this friendly pair in Orbital Comics picking up my Fantastic Four #537 earlier today. They’d been to the Batman Live! auditions earlier, auditioning for the touring Batman show kicking off later this year. And they’d been there with several hundred other people. Here are a few in costume… Oh and a video too!
Will McG Make Diana Prince A DC Woman Kicking Ass… on TV?
The on again, off again, on again Wonder Woman television saga takes another interesting twist today with Deadline’s assertion that the Charlie’s Angels director and producer of nerd-savvy tv such as Chuck and Human Target is the front-runner for the directing gig on NBC’s Wonder Woman. What do you think, Bleeding Cool, is he the…

Diamond Comics Distribution are on a mission to catch comics retailers selling comics too early. With a crack squad of elderly women posying as comic book collectors. The place: The comic book shop Pastimes in Asheville, North Carolina. The time: Less than two minutes before closing today. The suspect: A white women in her seventies,…

Warning. Clicking any of these links provide spoilers for Fantastic Four #587. So, how was it for you? Did you wake up in the morning UK-time or were you still awake US-time for the Associated Press interview with Marvel execs to go live and pop up on your comics news feed? With an actual bloody…
A Comic Show – Glenn Beck Vs Comics
Welcome to Aaron and Tri-Force Mike from A Comic Shop in Florida, battling I tell you, battling with the hordes of Fantastic Four fans and Glenn Beck and me losing my bet.

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…
