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…

More Amazing Chinese Robots – Great And Small
We all loves the massive Chinese Megatron tank from Chinese fans a month ago. Well, they’ve been building more crazy stuff. Robots big… and small. Enjoy.
Thursday Trending Topics: Who The Hell Is Jay Diddilo?
We asked a number of questions on BC today, and got a few answers as well. Rob Granito, DC/Marvel, Greg Capullo? Read on… Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Who On Earth Is Rob Granito? (UPDATE) But some people aren’t so sure, and I’ve been sent a number of allegations saying that Rob is basically nothing but…
Scarface Is Coming To Blu-ray, Gets New Trailer – And There’s A Lot You’ve Gotta Love
You gotta love Brian De Palma. You gotta love Al Pacino. Gotta love Giorgio Moroder‘s soundtrack. Gotta love Michelle Pfeiffer. And John A. Alonozo’s cinematography. And Steven Bauer as Manny Ribero. Gotta love how Brian De Palma released an uncut version instead of the R rated version approved by the MPAA. Gotta love how he got…
Marvel Vs 30 Rock
We thought something like this was coming and here it is. Marvel’s rebuttal to Avengers Academy #8 being destroyed in last week’s episode of 30 Rock with Joe Quesada and Tom Brevoort… Just so you know, Scott Adsit was quite the table hopper at NYCC last year, buying lots of comics.
Chew To Become Showtime TV Comedy
We knew that John Layman and Rob Guillory’s Chew from Image Comics was heading for the TV sereen in some form or other. Well now Deadline’s TV Editor Nellie Andreeva confirms that it’s to be a half hour comedy series on Showtime. Set in a world where chicken is prohibited after avian flu outbursts, it…
Next Potential Superman Villain: Michael Shannon
There’s a little while until Zack Snyder‘s Superman: The Man of Steel shoots – not until August, I understand – but casting continues apace. While we’re still waiting to learn if Zod or Lex Luthor or Brainiac or Doomsday or Mr. Mxyzptlk will be the villain, we’re being tickled by a whole run of rumours…
There Might Be Ninety-Nine New Oz Films Coming, But Only One Has Gotten To The Poster Stage
First Oz do-over out of the traps is going to be the animated Dorothy of Oz, with Glee’s Lea Michelle and some songs by Bryan Adams. Above is a fresh poster, from the film’s Facebook page.
Those Pesky DC Non-Disclosure Agreements
DC have insisted on Non Disclosure Agreements for certain creators on working on Flashpoint projects and beyond. There were a number of pre-Flashpoint leaks, mostly on this very website, that seemed to frighten the horses a little, and these documents are intended to keep secret exactly what DC is planning in the near future. Of…
The Amazing Spider-Man Is Still Shooting, But Work Has Already Started On The Sequel
The first time we heard about James Vanderbilt writing a Spider-Man movie, the story was that he was penning chapters 4 and 5 of Sam Raimi’s run. Then, somewhere along the line, Raimi’s fourth film slipped off the rails and Vanderbilt was quickly called on to provide the screenplay for a reboot. Possibly, this reboot…
Dark Horse Owns Hawaii 5-0
R.I.P.D. is a book published by Dark Horse. It was created by Peter Lenkov. But since then Lenkov has risen rather rapidly in the media stakes and he is now showrunning CBS’ Hawaii 5-0. So when the show decided to set an episode in and around a comic book convention, what publisher better to spotlight…
First Footage Of Pete Doherty And Charlotte Gainsbourg In Confession Of A Child Of The Century
Currently seeking funds for, I’d guess, post production work, Sylvie Verheyde‘s Confessions of a Child of the Century started production late last year. Verheyde is billing the picture as being “rockmantic”, which seems to fit the stars, Pete Doherty and Charlotte Gainsbourg, in a suitably silly and froofy fashion. This is Doherty’s first feature film…
Marvel And DC Team Up Against League Of Sarcastic Lawyers
There may be a fictitious crossover planned for Wondercon by Marvel, but this is the real thing. Marvel Characters and DC Comics Vs Sunne Law PC. And this may be one of my favourite stories I’ve ever run. Since the fifties DC and Marvel have jointly claimed the trademark for SUPER HERO and SUPERHERO in…

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…
