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…

They Call Him The Incredibro Hulk
Also Awesome Maouri Guy. But the inspirational figure filmed flinging blocks of stone and concrete like they were polystyrne, trying to rescuing survivors of the recent New Zealand earthquakes, is one Ashei Sopoaga, from Samoa, living in Little River near Akaroa and a 40-year-old father of five. Real Life Super Heroes, take note.
Swipe File: Erro Vs Mark Bagley And Friends
Finer artist Erro continues to sell work completely ripped off from current comic books with little of the justification that Lichtenstein afforded… he clashed with Brian Bolland, can he do the same with Mark Bagley? Here are a few examples of his current catalogue for sale.
Retailers Get Another Chance To Get On Godzilla #1 Cover
The first print of Godzilla #1 from IDW had 74 retailers getting an exclusive store cover, when they made an order of 500 copies, featuring their store getting crushed by Godzilla’s foot. Before the promotion, a number of retailers didn’t think they could make the numbers work. After the promotion, and with so many retailers…
Mark Millar And Frank Quitely On Getting Started In Comics
At their recent workshop for comics at the Glasgow Film Festival, Mark Millar revealed that he and Frank Quitely were actually talking about doing a comics project together, as we’d been speculating. And a report from the event states that “He also teased that the big project (“the biggest thing I’ve ever done”) to be…
James Corden Returning For More Doctor Who
Last year was the year I fell in love with Doctor Who, some 30-odd years later than you might expect. Despite some pretty poor episodes, the series actually hit amazing new highs, particularly with its premiere and finale episodes. Along the way were plenty of other impressive moments, not least of which was The Doctor’s…
The First Three Panels Of Neonomicon #4
I understand that Alan Moore has signed off on the finished artwork by Jacen Burrows for the final issue of Neonomicon and that Neonomicon #4 will be going to print in a few hours. So until then, here are the first few panels of the final issue. With a boat heading away from the domed…
New Top Cat 3D Movie Comes Out Of Nowhere
Did you know there was a big screen version of Hanna Barbera’s Top Cat in the works? That it was going to be in 3D? That it is due for release in September? A Little Bleeder supplied me with these two posters for the film. If you look, you can see that the movie will…
The Uncensored NSFW Images Of Butcher Baker (SFW)
Diamond Previews gives an advance look at the new Joe Casey and Mike Huddleston image book Butcher Baker. But they’ve had to make a few amends for the taste of a general audience. So where can you go, short of buying the comic itself to see the images in their full uncensored NSFW glory? Why,…
Lots Of Screen Captures From The New Thundercats Trailer
Even though it’s stuffed full of animation “on twos”, if not threes or fours, a lot of the new Thundercats trailer whizzes past pretty quickly. That’s why I’ve pulled a series of interesting frames from it for you to peruse at your leisure. Now… let’s see if we can find a higher quality version of…
First Trailer For The New Thundercats
Want to see the new Thundercats in motion? Sure you do. This screened on Cartoon Network yesterday, so we had the Bleeding Cool elves comb YouTube for it. UPDATE: I’ve compiled a good size heap of screen captures from the trailer, to highlight some details that pass very fleetingly.
My Preferred Oscar Opening Routine
From 1997, here’s Billy Crystal’s opening montage, monologue and medley for the 69th Academy Awards. If Franco and Hathaway can hold my attention like this, and squeeze in just half as many groans and laughs, then I’ll be very impressed indeed. Smooth stuff, Mr. Crystal.
Comic Book Retailer Gets Beaten Up
But don’t worry, it’s all for entertainment. Sergio Zenteno, 33-year-old comic store manager for Midtown Comics in Manhattan , lost against the 22 year old plumber Baz by decision in the boxing ring. The Daily News Golden Gloves boxing match took place on Friday night at Holy Cross High School in Flushing, Queens. Still, don’t…

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…
