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…

Recommended: Dream Home On DVD
When Pang Ho-Cheung’s Dream Home was released in UK cinemas last year, I ran a post imploring people to go and see it. I’d like to reprise much of the argument, now that the film is being released on DVD in the UK. Here are four reasons I gave that Dream Home is worth your time….
VIDEOS: Zombies Trying Out For A Role In Steve Niles’ Remains
Steve Niles and Kieron Dwyer‘s Remains is, sort of, Return of the Gambling Dead. Here’s the official blurb for their original comics: When the world goes mad, a blackjack dealer and an exotic dancer are mysteriously spared. But now they’re trapped in Reno, surrounded by a veritable army of the undead—and with no idea what might…
A Better Look At Parallax, The Green Lantern Movie Toy – Not Final Product
It may not be the final product. But this image of the Parallax doll from the upcoming Green Lantern movie line may give us a better glimpse into how the embodiment of fear itself may appear when it hits the screen this summer… PHOTO REMOVED BY REQUEST – AND SKETCHED!
Amy Adams Is Lois Lane, Has A “Linchpin” Role
You might argue that Princess Peach is integral to the plot and point some Super Mario videogames. I mean, until she got herself kidnapped, there wasn’t much for Mario to do. He’d just have to, I dunno, go and plumb some loos in New York or something. When Zack Snyder says Lois Lane has a…
The Next Nonplayer – Green Wake?
A week and a half away, we already know that Nonplayer by Nate Simpson from Image Comics will be the big breakout hit of 2011. It’s a given. Joining Chew, Morning Glories, Skullkickers and 27 as Image breakout hits. But what else is coming out shortly that may challenge it? Kurtis Wiebe and Riley Rossmo…
The Next Nonplayer – Blue Estate?
A week and a half away, we already know that Nonplayer by Nate Simpson from Image Comics will be the big breakout hit of 2011. It’s a given. Joining Chew, Morning Glories, Skullkickers and 27 as Image breakout hits. But what else is coming out shortly that may challenge it? Blue Estate by Viktor Kavalchev,…
Racebending With The X-Men
Seen by a Little Bleeder holidaying in Vietnam, who noticed that they have a line of men’s skin care products named after the X-Men, using the movie logo. Including the ever-present skin whitening creams. I wonder what Bishop would think of this?
The Next Nonplayer – Undying Love?
A week and a half away, we already know that Nonplayer by Nate Simpson from Image Comics will be the big breakout hit of 2011. It’s a given.

My Monthly Curse by Phill Hall #2 – Infected Again
Phill Hall used to be the News editor for Comics International before launching the PDF comics magazine Borderline before abandoning comics altogether. Now, however, he is going to look back on it all for Bleeding Cool. By 1981, I no longer had any link with comics whatsoever. In 1983 I met the woman who would…

Adam Warren’s Empowered Reacts To Wonder Woman TV Pilot Script
Empowered by Adam Warren for Dark Horse is one of my favourite current comics. Published as a series of digest style volumes with occasional one shots, it’s the perfect example of a one joke story that grows all sorts of legs when given the chance to run. See also Milk & Cheese, Groo, Lobo, Buffy…
Sunday Runaround – Bumping Into Kieron Gillen
HoneymoonWatch: Tony Lee: Only while on honeymoon at an amazing Mexican Eco Park would Tracy & I bump into Kieron Gillen and Chrissie, ALSO on their honeymoon… RobGranitoWatch: One Little Bleeder writes “I purchased a piece of original artwork from this jackass a few years ago for like 40 bucks, found out it was done…

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…
