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…

Kevin Costner Probably In New Superman, But As Which Character?
I can’t imagine Kevin Costner would turn the role down, so when Deadline say there’s “heightened interest” in him taking on an unspecified part in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman reboot, I’m happy to read it as an all-but-done deal. But they don’t know who he’d be playing, which makes it time for another guessing game….
The Truth Behind The 3D No-Glasses Viral Video
Back when the viral video 3D No Glasses was doing the rounds, I got in touch with the people who made it to try and get an admission of what their intent was. At that time, they said nothing revealing, but today, I received an e-mail with a full explanation. Here is the original video,…
New Cars 2 TV Spot From The Daytona 500
Cough cough, splutter splutter, etc. If laughter is the best medicine, then maybe this new Cars 2 TV spot will do me some good?
Help Nathan Fillion Buy Firefly!
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: One of the most satisfying and rewarding uses that I ever put to a £20 note was to buy the complete series of Firefly on DVD. I have watched it several times since and every time I see Nathan Fillion don Mal’s holster, or watch Cobb sneer, or hear…
Has Spider-Man Met His Scaly Match? Is He Amazing Enough?
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: Superheroes have it tough. As if enemies with superhuman powers were not bad enough foes, now even your run of the mill SWAT team might have a secret weapon up its sleeve. According to Big Fan Boy, in the reboot of Spider-Man, the webbed one must taken on SWAT…
Rutger Hauer To Play Van Helsing in Dracula 3D
Kate Atherton Writes for Bleeding Cool: Every decade needs at least one Dracula and this being the 2010s we get one in 3D. Dario Argento is directing Dracula 3D and now we learn from the Italian site Best Movie who will play the chief vampire menace, Van Helsing. It’s Rutger Hauer. Hauer is best known…
PREVIEW: Crossed Psychopath #1 by David Lapham and Raulo Caceres
Here we go folks. An advance look at the new Crossed comic from the Lapham and Caceres boys. Out from Avatar on Wednesday. Remember folks, never read Crossed while eating spaghetti. You’ll flecks of juice all over the pages. And then vomit…
Diamond Causes Confusion With 2010 Gem Awards
What is a licensed book? And what is a reprint/collection? That’s the question that has been expertly evaded as in their end-of-year awards for the best selling titles and publishers of 2011, Diamond have given a Gem award to the Kick-Ass Premiere hardcover as the Best Licensed TP/HC of the year, while giving Best Reprint…
Lying In The Gutters – 21st February 2011
(By Eve Johnston, 5) Welcome to another week of Bleeding Cool stories that went from the very silly to the very serious. Thankfully you mostly clicked on the very silly, making the top twenty a lot more fun. Aside from that cancellation thing. Oh and the bit about Superman being a killer. And the nasty…
Archaia’s Free Comic Book Day Covers Get Mean
Well that’s a bit of a meaner cover than Archaia originally ran with for their Dark Crystal Free Comic Book Day edition, a prelude to their upcoming series. Oh and don’t forget to check the Mouse Guard flipside featuring another brand new story…
The Daily Show To Feature Hate-Filled Anti-Muslim Comic, The Infidel
I’ve been covering the existence of The Infidel, a planned graphic novel about two brothers with a Muslim background reacting to the events of 9/11 for a few years now. The plot has stayed the same, one is radicalised as a result, and the other, well is radicalised in another direction I guess, he creates…
Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #88: Nice Girls Don’t Explode
I tried to think of a clever title for this week’s column, but really, nothing can beat the actual title of the movie itself. Yes, there really existed a movie called NICE GIRLS DON’T EXPLODE. No one seems to remember it or talk about it now. Why am I talking about it now? Why not?…

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…
