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…

Thursday Trending Topics: Big Barda
No Wonder Woman or Rob Granito in trending topics for the first time in awhile, displaced in part by a pair of historical topics: Jim Shooter‘s account of the circumstances surrounding the infamous Marvel art theft, and the old old school Comics Journal. Speaking of comics history, pretty cool to see TCJ getting their historical archives…
McG Launches Comic Book Imprint With Aspen
Looks like the another bit of WonderCon weekend news just hit: McG‘s Wonderland Sound and Vision company has just launched an imprint for comics and graphic novels with Fathom publishers Aspen Comics, according to Deadline. Their first project is a supernatural drama called Haunted City. Wonderland has previously worked with DC on comics of its…
No Heroics Creator Drew Pearce Will Write Iron Man 3
Drew Pearce, who came to Marvel Studios’ attention for his script based on the Brian K. Vaughan comic Runaways, has been tapped to write Iron Man 3, according to Deadline. Robert Downey Jr. returns in the starring role, with Shane Black directing. The film is currently scheduled for a May 3, 2013 release. Drew Pearce…
Trick’r Treat Sequel Coming?
I have been repetitively comparing the Super 8 trailers to Frank LaLoggia’s The Lady in White. The last film for which I used the same comparison was Mike Dougherty’s Trick’r Treat. Quite what made this my go-to film for comparisons I don’t know. I saw Trick’r Treat at FrightFest in 2009, from a seat just…
The Full Trailer For The Hangover Part 2
I didn’t like The Hangover but I want to like the Hangover Part 2. Though… it doesn’t look like I will. I thought you’d probably like to see this trailer, however. Maybe you’ll enjoy all of the little bits where something happens almost exactly like it did in the last one (the speeded up cars…
First Trailer For The New Superman! If By New Superman You Mean New Blu-rays Of Old Superman! – UPDATED With Disc Specs
Coming this spring-summer, lots of old Superman films on Blu-ray. Everything with Christopher Reeve, and the 20th Century’s best Christopher Reeve impersonator, Brandon Routh. Here’s the trailer: So, it’s made very clear that both of Richard Donner‘s special cuts are included. That answers that. And I’ve counted eight discs flying in at the end, so…
Dirk Gently Getting A Full Series After Pilot Went Down Well
The BBC are apparently rather more interested in audience appreciation than cold hard ratings, being a pinko commie socialist network and all. This makes me wonder why their press release about new Dirk Gently contains this bit: The series commission comes on the back of the hugely popular one-hour instalment in December last year, which attracted…
Attack The Block’s First TV Spot Reminds Me Why I’m So Excited About This Film
This first TV spot for Joe Cornish‘s Attack the Block was premiered during an episode of Skins. Must be the sci-fi connection they were working there. Apologies to any visitors from outside of South London who sadly won’t have been able to understand a single word of that without subtitles. Including the captions. Tsk.
Here Comes That Time Bandits Remake Nobody Actually Wants
Sometime Handmade Films executives Guy Collins and Michael Ryan are looking to push ahead and remake Terry Gilliam‘s Time Bandits, a picture originally produced and released by their old company. “Don’t touch it! It’s evil!” But don’t worry, I’m pretty sure they’ll get what they deserve. Nobody who loves the original is going to line…
Teenage Mutated Ninja Turtles – Lots Of New Images, Some New Toes
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are getting a makeover for a new Nickelodeon TV series. It’s some ways away yet, but they’ve already started courting the hardcore fans with presentation days, giveaway merch and these first-look images. Like Wonder Woman’s costume, maybe a little bit of fan outcry could go some way to getting these…
Dan Scanlon Is Directing Monsters University – But What Else Has He Done?
Pixar have decided that the time is right, and today announced that Dan Scanlon will be directing their upcoming Monsters Inc. prequel, Monsters University. Sorry… Dan who? Well, on Twitter he’s @mrdanscanlon. Previously he directed the short Cars Toon called Mater and the Ghostlight. He was a story artist on the original Cars. He contributed storyboards…

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…
