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…

The New Nonplayer – The Red Wing?
There seems to be a spate of upcoming new Image launches with colours in a similarly-structured title. Green Wake, Blue Estate and now The Red Wing. The art from Nick Pitarra‘s blog is pretty gorgeous. But the thing that should get the orders rising is that it’s written by Human Torch slaughterer Jonathan Hickman. Which…
Lewis Trondheim On The Future Of L’Association… And Its Past
Legendary comic book creator Lewis Trondheim has posted a number of pages from his upcoming expose on the L’Association comics publisher on his blog. Here are a few of them, chronicling the radical publisher’s beginnings… and how the company fell in the eyes of the industry. L’Association’s general assembly that will decide the future of…
Jerry Bruckheimer Promises All Future Pirates Films Will Be Standalone Stories
Worried that Pirates of the Caribbean 4 might not wrap up conclusively, or leave dangling threads? Worse still, are you concerned that its success (I think it’s going to be a smash) would lead to another pair of intertwined, cliffhanger-cleaved sequels like the shot back-to-back Pirates 2 and 3? Well, Jerry Bruckheimer has promised that…
Wonder Woman On-Set Video (I Mean, We Might As Well, While We’re At It)
Okay, I admit it. In my hurry to publish some Wonder Woman set pictures, I didn’t look closely enough to see Mark had done the same. But he hasn’t posted any video. No. Smoke that, Seifert.
The Latest Doctor Who New Series Trailer
Here’s the currently-airing trailer for the next series of Doctor Who. If you want to see it on your ginormous living room set later this evening, BBC One will be screening it just before or around 8pm. How come a three hour movie can get a three minute trailer but a nine-and-three-quarter-hour season of Who…
Good, Close-Up Shots Of Wonder Woman In Action – It’s Not Just The Boots They’ve Changed
These new paparazzi pictures from the LA location of Wonder Woman clearly show how the boots and legging-tights-trousers have been tweaked since the first official picture. They also give a good idea of how she runs with choppy hands and a serious-grumpy face. Adrianne Palicki, she big leggy. Pics hand picked from Zimbio. UPDATE: Not sure…
How To Write Comics And Graphic Novels by Dennis O’Neil #15 And #16 – Double Sized Edition
Dennis O’Neil has a long history in the comics industry as both a writer and editor. He’s best known for writing Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Batman, through the seventies, Spider-Man in the eighties and for editing Batman-related titles in the nineties. A widely published novelist and screenwriter, he is currently lecturing at the NYU on…
Mattel Confirms Green Lantern Parallax Image
Mattel has been in touch to request the removal of the image purporting to be of the Parallax toy from the Green Lantern movie line from Bleeding Cool, that has caused so much commotion of late. And while we are happy to comply with Mattel’s request, we also note that Mattel seems to have confirmed…
Wednesday Comics Review: Cyclops #1 and Wolverine #7
I usually like to review disparate books together if possible. Well, despite having two X-Men comic books, that couldn’t more so be the case with this pair. Cyclops #1 by Lee Black and Dean Haspiel is a solo story of a silver-age Cyclops. Set during the earlyish school days of the X-Men, and clearly with…
Wonder Woman Set Pics Show A Good Look Of Adrianne Palicki In A New Improved Costume
The internet exploded with photos of yesterday’s Wonder Woman shoot overnight. Shown here are both Adrianne Palicki and stunt double Shauna Duggins. Online sources include Daily Blam, GotCeleb, and Zimbio, and photogs/site members Zryson among others. Special thanks to Andy Mangels of Wonder Woman Museum for pointing out his roundup in the BC forums. Some…
WonderCon Is Coming…
This weekend, while I’m signing my new comic book at Forbidden Planet (have I mentioned that at all?) Wondercon, from the people who bring you the San Diego Comic Con, is kicking off in San Francisco. Everyone will be there. Marvel and DC of course, but also Avatar, Aspen, IDW, Slave Labor Graphics, Boom!, Archaia,…
And While We’re At It, Here’s Another Super Hi-Res Piece Of Brave Concept Art
Disney put this in an e-mail. I put it on the internet. Your job is to put it in your heart. Deal? Anyway, look: she has a face in this one. Awesome.

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…
