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…

Wednesday Trending Topics: Red Boots, Better Pants… Wonder What Else They Changed
The costume so nice we posted it twice. Ok, it’s not perfect… but it does make you wonder if they’ve been watching the feedback, and what that might mean for the script. Also, we wonder if Jimmy Olsen is the best comic of the year so far, and Rob Granito still hanging in there. Let’s…

Stan Lee, Arnold Schwarzenegger To Develop “The Governator” For Comics And TV
Add this one to the truth is stranger than fiction is stranger than truth file. This deal has been in the rumor stage for about a month, and it looks like EW just got the full scoop for a cover feature. Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to the entertainment world with a property called The Governator,…
Geoffrey Rush Is Tomar-Re In Green Lantern
In comics lore, Tomar-Re was the first Lantern to meet Hal Jordan, and the two of them became fast friends. For the upcoming Green Lantern movie, Re (if you pardon the abbreviation) is to be a CG animated character, and as such required no actor’s contribution until the movie was into post production. Just a…
Many More Clips From The New Looney Tunes: Marvin The Martian, Yosemite Sam, Road Runner And More
We’ve seen some little bits and pieces of the new Looney Tunes show already. Now, there’s a lot more flooding onto the web as we approach the show’s May 3rd premiere date. The first two Road Runner clips here are basically full, if rather short, toons. The rest of the videos are brisker, but they…
Wednesday Night Rushes – From Spider-Man’s Rhino To An Elephant Killer
What the hell is Ghostface using as a weapon in this new Scream 4 publicity photo? James L. Brooks’ Gracie Films have shelled out for Besties, a spec script by Kelly Fremon. It’s apparently about a pair of high school friends who fall out when one starts to date the other’s brother. Move fast, people: Emma…

My ongoing and indepth coverage of Winnie the Pooh will continue over the next two weeks, ahead of the film’s UK release on April 15th.

That clip was quietly released by Disney’s Irish…
Weinsteins Planning Musical Versions Of Peter Pan, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon And More
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: Some stories never grow old. Back in 2004, Bob and Harvey Weinstein told the story of J.M. Barrie in Finding Neverland with Johnny Depp in the role. But now the Weinstein’s have turned their attention to Barrie’s most famous and much-loved creation, Peter Pan. But this Peter Pan will…
Kyle Chandler Sought For Starring Role In Powers
How do you spell “No Braner”? With an “i” what? Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler is FX’s pick to star in Powers, their new police procedural with superpowers, based on the comics by Bran Michael Bendis* and Michael Avon Oeming. According to Deadline, Chandler won’t decide if he’s going to sign on or not until…

Zenescope Goes 30-Day-Digital On Entire Comics Line
Zenescope, already quite prominent in the digital comics landscape, have announced that they will move to a 30-day-after-print digital model for their entire line by the summer, and will make their back catalogue available too along with digital-only content. This will include licenced books like Charmed, creator owned work like Fly and the Fables-with-tits books…

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…
