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…

Armie Hammer Joins Tarsem’s Snow White, Saoirse Ronan Coming Close
Of the various upcoming Snow White movie projects, the one I’m most intrigued by is Tarsem Singh‘s version. Adapting such a simple story to feature length will always require expansion, and according to the official press release, here’s how this one is goin: A retelling of one of the most beloved fables of all-time, will…

The race to assemble a set of Silver Age Marvel keys is on in earnest this year among vintage Marvel collectors as films like Captain America and Thor are set to bring the characters to new heights of popularity among the general public. Several records have already fallen in 2011 and here’s another one: Pedigree…
Genndy Tartakovsky Taking Over The Hotel Transylvania?
What do you want first, the good news or the bad news? Okay then, because you say so… The bad news is that Genndy Tartakovsky‘s Sym-Bionic Titan is coming to an end. The TAG Blog quote a “Cartoon Network insider” who tells them that the show has been axed: Genddy’s moved on to Sony Pictures Animation. Titan…

New Dick Tracy Being Planned, Director’s Cut Of Last One Now Clear For Release
Warren Beatty has prevailed in a legal battle over the movie and TV rights to Chester Gould‘s Dick Tracy. The short version is this: Beatty was given the rights in perpetuity as long as he kept making Dick Tracy projects. He could at any time be put under a two year probation in order to start…
Peter Jackson “Adding A Lot Of Characters” To The Hobbit
I’ve always appreciated the changes made in converting The Lord of the Rings from page to screen, and I think that Peter Jackson and co. proved themselves, ultimately, to have better storytelling instincts than JRR Tolkien himself. All the same, I’d be a little surprised to see the cinematic Hobbit vary radically from it’s literary…
What If… Lois Lane Thought John Constantine Was Superman?
This cover for Flashpoint: Lois Lane And The Resistance has been running around my head. Anyway, last night, this is what popped out. Apologies to all.
The Big Lebowski Monopoly
Here’s the board for The Big Lebowski Monopoly. It isn’t perfect, but it’s a good start. There’s no currency to go with it, I’m afraid. Your money is being held by a kid named Larry Sellers. Real fucking brat, but I’m sure your goons can get it off him. I mean, he’s fifteen. Thanks to…

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…
