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…

Exhibition Review: Dreams Come True – The Art of Disney’s Classic Fairy Tales
James Field writes for Bleeding Cool: The doors of Walt Disney’s animation archives are prised open in Melbourne, Australia, with the sumptuous exhibition Dreams Come True. Taking a magnifying glass to Disney’s 80 year expanse of work, the display looks in-depth at how traditional fairytales have been transformed for modern audiences, into the Mouse House’s…
Transmetropolitan Bill Posters Take Manhattan
Yes, that’s more like it. Real life Transmetropolitan bill posters posted up in New York on the corner of W 26th st and 8th, created for the Transmet Art Book by Matthew Borgatti. Featuring Ebola Cola, and presidential ads for The Smiler and The Beast…
New GI Joe Has A Director… Now It Needs To Lock Down Its GI Joes – UPDATED
Jon M. Chu, director of two Step Up pictures and both versions of this rather popular Justin Bieber movie, has been selected as the director for the next GI Joe picture. I’d dare say his pitch probably involved some explanation of how action scenes are as choreographed as dance numbers, and how he has the…
When Jessica Rabbit Married Clark Kent – A Very British Cosplay Wedding
“Do you take this Superman to be your lawful wedded husband?” No, that’s seriously what was said. Rob Taverner, 32 married Nyssa Pratten, 19 in Worcester this week, and both they, and the guests, were all in costume. Nyssa walked down the aisle to the Star Wars theme, and the couple left to the Looney…
Saturday Runaround – Tis But A Scratch
BookWatch: Steve Niles and Jeffrey Combs are collaborating on a comic version of Comb’s one man Edgar Allan Poe styled play, Nevermore comic book, to be published by IDW. AquaWatch: Gutters gives a very Monty Python alternative end to Aquawar. SlapWatch: Sixteen-year-old critic Emily Nichol tells Keith Knight that politics and comics should not mix….
The Incredible Five-Ton Fan-Made Transformers Megatron Tank From China
From China. Let your mouths drop open in awe. And look at your own Cosplay costume and despair. Dear Friends Happy New Year! The first year the legendary Iron Steel Sculpture: Transformers Megatron in tank available, and now pictures dedicated to everyone, I hope my friends for their valuable comments. Process was full of twists…
Finally, Another Page Of Cameron Stewart’s Sin Titulo After Six Month Gap
Okay, Sin Tutulo is a late webcomic. Cameron Stewart has been busy on Assassin’s Creed: The Fall, Batman And Robin and Suicide Girls (the comic, not just visiting the website) – but finally we get to see what happens after the gun was spied (which was way back in mid-August!) Hopefully we won’t have to…
Viggo Mortenson On List To Play Zod In New Superman Movie
Before we get to the part of the story full of distancing phrases and disclaimers, it’s worth noting that, when taking this latest report on face value, it at least confirms that a) Zod is a villain in the new Superman film and b) Kevin Costner’s role would be that of Jonathan Kent. The Hollywood…
The San Diego Comic Con 2011 Hotel List And Prices
So we had the great running of the San Diego Comic Con Ticket Purchase… now it’s time for the sequel, getting yourself a hotel room once you are there. The San Diego discounted rates for local hotels are for sale from 9am PT, Noon ET, 5pm GMT on March 9th. At which point you can…
Car Crash: Ugly, Unfunny WWE Posters Parody The Best Picture Nominees
These need to be seen to be believed – ten posters, each one parodying one of the Best Picture nominees from the 2011 Oscars. Well, I say parodying. I think they qualify as parody. Every one of these posters has had some WWE stars stuffed into it, at least, and there’s also some wrestling puns…
Trailer For Kelly Reichardt’s Oregon Trail Drama, Meek’s Cutoff With Michelle Williams
In this trailer you will see a selection of quite wonderful actors giving some quite wonderful performances. I don’t feel so kindly towards the film’s aesthetic qualities – I’m very much not a fan of the Academy ratio. And despite a large number of inoffensive and natural compositions, some of the shots are rather disruptive….
There’s One Heck Of A Catch With The Red Riding Hood Novelization
Should you wish to purchase and read Sarah Blakeley-Cartwright’s novelization of Catherine Hardwicke’s film of David Leslie Johnson’s screenplay based upon The Brothers Grimm’s recounting of the Red Riding Hood fairytale, then I feel I should at least give you a word of warning. The novel doesn’t include the end of the story, but instead…

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…
