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…

Preview: Herc #1 by Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente and Neil Edwards
Hercules gets his own book with his own numbering system, albeit a reduced name. Maybe they’ll take the “ULES” and add it to another comic. X-MENULES? SHIELDULES? FEARULES ITSELF? Anyway, here’s a preview.
Game Of Death TV Spot And Competition
Here’s a TV spot for Game of Death, a Wesley Snipes action film that portrays a corrupt CIA, evil mutual fund managers and unethical arms dealers as the villains. Gotta love how B-movies reflect their times so openly like that. I’ve not seen the film yet, though I can’t help but hope it’s just the…
Marvel Comics Hit The Android
Graphic.Ly has been a bit squeezed of late. ComiXology created the Marvel and DC Apps and getting all sorts of exclusive content, while iVerse signs up with Diamond for a digital retail solution for comics. But what of the British startup that suddenly went all American on us? It seems they have just launched a…
More Dinklage In The Second Knights Of Badassdom Image – UPDATED In Hi-Res
Up above is the second, official image from The Knights of Badassdom. We previously ran the first. This appears to show Peter Dinklage, as Hung, having the upper hand over Michael Gladis as King Diamond. Or maybe I need glasses. And in case you need glasses, this aint no Middle Earth – they’re LARPers. The…
Review: The Infidel by Bosch Fawstin – Starring Pigman
The Infidel is a comic by Bosch Fawstin that’s been in the works for a number of years. And this week, just as it is to feature on The Daily Show, it’s gone live. I have mocked this comic book a number of times, on Lying In The Gutters at CBR and recently on Bleeding…
Thor And X-Men: First Class Writers To Appear At MCM Expo
Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz are amongst the screenwriters of both Thor and X-Men: First Class. Today, MCM have announced that the two scribes will be appearing on a panel at the next London Expo, this May. Sure, that’s after Thor has been released and just a few days before First Class hits screens, so…
Girls, You’re Both Pretty – Kapow Vs MCM London Expo
It was Mark Millar who started it. The spokesman for the Kapow comic convention, funded by Titan, publishers of CLiNT and owners of Forbidden Planet, and run by Millar’s PA Lucy Unwin. And Millar’s trademark exaggeration came into play, claiming that Kapow was what London needed, a comic convention like the old UKCACs but there…
Michael Zulli Reaches Kickstarter Goal Of $17,000
He started it five days ago. To raise internet pledges worth $17,000 to publish his completed original graphic novel, The Fracture Of The Universal Boy, as relations with his publisher had broken down. And with 26 days left to go, and a little help from Bleeding Cool (and Neil Gaiman who retweeted our article) he’s…

Kevin Costner’s Superman Role Revealed?
Last night, we were taking stabs at guessing who Kevin Costner might be playing in the new Superman movie. Well, perhaps the time for blind guessing is over. This is your final chance to take a shot in the dark. Pa Kent? Pa Jor-El? Perry White? Jeff the foreman of the Daily Planet printroom? Well,…

Johnny Depp Out Of Kusturica’s Pancho Villa, Gael Garcia Bernal And Benicio Del Toro Now Up For The Role
As Emir Kusturica readies to finally shoot his Pancho Villa picture The Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Seven Fingers, it seems one of his stars has fallen by the wayside. While Salma Hayek remains attached, Johnny Depp has reportedly wandered off of the project. The film’s screenplay is based upon James…

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…
