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…

“Chap with the wings there, five rounds rapid” Nicholas Courtney, passed on today, aged 81. The actor is best known for his appearances in the British sci-fi TV show Doctor Who, and has performed with more actors playing the Doctor than anyone else (William Hartnell as Space Security Agent Bret Vyon, Patrick Troughton as Colonel…
Amanda Seyfried And John Cusack To Star In Patrick Alessandrin’s The Bullet?
As I understood it, Patrick Alessandrin is currently working on the thriller TEN with Bruce Willis. I don’t know the details of his schedule there – if he’s already shot the film, is currently mid-production, or if the film was delayed or even cancelled – but I do recall reports that filming was set to…
Zombies Vs. Robots Coming To A Cinema Near You (Probably Without Star Trekkers, Ghostbusters, Transformers Or GI Joes)
IDW’s comics series Zombies vs. Robots is unsurprisingly rocketing through development as a feature film, fuelled no doubt by love of zombies and robots, and anticipation for Cowboys and Aliens, amongst the key spending demographics. According to Deadline, the film will be produced by Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes and the script has been written by…
Swipe File: Russell Brand’s Head And Russell Brand’s Head
The poster changes, yet the head remains the same. I shared two posters from Arthur earlier on today. Here’s another way of looking at them – a way that highlights just how useful one picture of Russell Brand’s head can be. In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to…
Sam Mendes Wanted Kevin Spacey For Bond Villain, “Not Happy” That He Can’t Have Him
Kevin Spacey sat down with some bloggers and journalists at a special screening of The Usual Suspects, and took their questions. Amongst his answers was a nice little bit of trivia regarding the upcoming Bond 23. Here’s how Live For Films put it: I asked him did he want to be the Bond villain in…
Remembering Dwayne McDuffie
Itwas never Watchmen or Dark Knight that opened up the possibility of superhero comics for me, but Dwayne McDuffie’s Damage Control, the Marvel series looking at the people who cleared up the physical and legal damage done by superhero actions. It was genuinely witty, self aware and just so well written. At the time I…
Yet Another Mars Needs Moms Trailer
Mars Needs Moms has been piling up the posters, images and trailers over the last couple of months, and here’s another. Disney are calling this the “Stay Cool” trailer. Yeah. Stay cool.
In Arthur Poster Algebra, One Great Gerwig Is Worth One Bowler Hat
Let’s play spot the difference with a pair of posters for Arthur, with Russell Brand, Jennifer Garner, Helen Mirren and Greta Gerwig/a bowler hat. Because Peter Baynham wrote this it will be funny. Promise.

San Diego has the Eisner Awards. Baltimore Comic Con has the Harveys. SPX has the Ignatz. Well, C2E2 has its own comic book awards, the Bleeding Cool Fan Awards. To be voted on by your good selves. The choices have been made by a selection of judges who wish to remain secret, but there’s space…

Disturbia and I Am Number Four director DJ Caruso appears to have tweeted that he’s locked down the directing gig for the big screen version of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s Preacher comics. It’s an american road story with huge, epic paranormal elements – ie. God and the Devil and demons and vampires. And it’s…
“3D Is Out Of Geekdom And Into Mass Market”
According to Panasonic, 3D TV sets are proving their success more quickly than HD ever did. This apparently amounts to 2 million sets in North America within 9 months on the market, which is way ahead of HD’s showing, taking five years to sell half a million TVs. This claim comes from Techradar‘s interview with…

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…
