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…

Wholly Family Images And Video, More Good Gilliam News
This year’s Bradford International Film Festival will be unveiling its full program on Wednesday, but it has already been announced that Terry Gilliam be the recipent of this year’s Fellowship award. To accompany this, the festival will be screening a retrospective of the director’s works, including some rarities and, very excitingly, the premiere of his…
This Kavalier And Clay Animation Test Is Exciting And Unexpected
I’d love to see a big-screen version of Michael Chabon’s extraordinary novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, but I don’t think Stephen Daldry would be my number one choice of director. Either way, his long and determined efforts to bring the film to the screen (so far, but also probably finally) failed to…
Yes Internet, You Can Buy Natalie Portman’s Pants
Or Chris Hemsworth’s if that’s what floats your boat. Clothes that the pair wore during the making of the Thor movie, available in teeny tiny sections for huge amounts of money. How would the world cope without Upper Deck Entertainment?
Saturday Runaround – Gaddafi Vs Bit.Ly
This is The Bleeding Cool ComicChron Robot speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.

Michael Zulli Will Even Draw Batman To Fund New Graphic Novel, The Fracture Of The Universal Boy
This is a Michael Zulli portrait of Batman. I love Michael Zulli’s work. From Puma Blues to Sandman to that little Sweeney Todd prelude to a comic that never was. You’d have thought publishers would be falling over themselves to support his latest work. And his new work has been solicited and promised before. But…
The Least In Canon Doctor Who Comic Ever Is One Of The Most Fun
Kate Beaton, author of Hark! A Vagrant webcomic, has created a new Doctor Who comic. Based only on information she has gained from cultural osmosis, never having actually watched the show…
Dead Island: Big News Videogame Trailer Already Translates Into Big Movie Deal
Everybody’s talking about the upcoming Zombie-killer videogame Dead Island – or, more specifically, the novel Dead Island trailer by Axis Animation. Here it is for moon rock dwellers everywhere: And because you’re statistically very likely to have already seen that (and updated your Facebook status and Twitter feed with your ecstatic impressions of it), here’s a…
Return Of The Moonwalker Trailer – With Zombies, Jacko, Clowns, Midgets, Hitler
I can’t watch this trailer because I’ve been warned that it features lots and lots of clowns. You too should be warned, and not only because of that: it’s apparently rather Not-Safe-For-Work too due to “sexual content.” I think that’s a euphemism for gay midgets having sex. Or I’m having my leg pulled. Thanks to…
Trailer For Apollo 18 Says Why Wait For Halloween To Get Some Paranormal Activity?
There aren’t any ghosts, necessarily, and there seems to be some kind of infectious space thing involved, but the chief flavour in this first trailer for Apollo 18 is all Paranormal Activity. How to judge something like this? On how authentic the simulacra of distorted or arcane media is? Because it seems to be doing…
New Mars Needs Moms Trailer And Picture Get Me Thinking About Performance Capture
A lot of emerging film technologies seem to be dismissed, most typically as gimmicks. It’s happening with 3D, it’s happening with performance capture, and I expect it will happen with high frame-rate cinematography, as James Cameron is exploring for Avatar 2 and 3. I tend to feel the responsibility to jump and defend these devices…
DC Direct Vs Mass Effect 2
There seems to have been a bit of a ding dong between DC Direct, the toy/statue manufacturer part of DC Entertainment, and Bioware, develpers of the Mass Effect games over the Mass Effect 2 figures. Originally scheduled for August 2010, the first series was pushed back to February 2011, and now pushed back again to…

They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations,…

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…
