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…

Friday Trending Topics: You’ve Been Granitoed
Controversy and revelations pile up on the Rob Granito saga over the MegaCon weekend. Meanwhile, there’s Mickey Mouse, Captain America, and Doctor Who news piling up views. Ashley Green‘s underwear didn’t make the cut tonight, sadly enough, and while it’s no substitute, I’ve added a Trending Topics Extra on our most popular recent Swipe Files….
Berkeley Breathed Illustrates His Honest Response To The Failure Of Mars Needs Moms
Mars Needs Moms has proven to be a rather notable box office failure. It’s all but played out in US cinemas now with a take of under $17 million, against a reported budget of over $150 million. If you don’t know, the film was based, somewhat loosely, on a children’s picture book by Berkeley Breathed….
Thor Soundtrack Listing Hints At What Happens, Reveals The Order In Which It Happens
Disney have officially announced the release of Patrick Doyle’s original soundtrack for Thor, and sent out a tracklisting for the album. Take a look at this rundown of choons – it’s effectively a vague skeleton of how some of the film’s key plot points are ordered. Or, if you’re scared of spoilers, don’t. 1. Chasing…

Green Lantern Toys Let You Play Out A Plot Point From The Movie We Didn’t Know About Until Now
The tie-in toys that the studios spin-off from movies very often allow the at-home possibility of recreating, in the name of play and hijinks, some very dramatic, scary or plain un-fun moments. For example: the Toy Story 3 Lego play set that featured the landfill, furnace and conveyor belt location where Buzz, Woody and co….
Why Chicks Love Geeks by Madeline Mann (SONG)
Frankly, I feel used. Cheapened even. This song by Madeline Mann in the attractions of Geek Love is basically treating all of us spectacle wearing male recluses as slices of Matsusaka. Well,I say, no more. We should make a stand, demand respect and tell such geek-chasers that no, we will not tolerate your strange fetishes…
Remake Of Plan 9 From Outer Space Now Underway
It’s quite popular to say that it’s the bad films that should be remade. It’s also quite popular to say that Ed Wood Jr.’s Plan 9 From Outer Space is a bad film, if not “the worst film of all time”. Bearing this in mind, we may be on the eve of the most popular…
Gotham Police Car Spotted In Chicago
Newsflash: there are going to be police cars in The Dark Knight Rises. And they are being “decorated” with theri GPD insignia, it would seem, in Chicago. It’s only a short hop, skip and a jump from here to assume the film will be shooting in Chicago too, but that’s not necessarily the case. Anyway,…

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…
