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…

Jimmy Olsen, The Best Comic Of 2011? – Wednesday Comics Review
Jimmy Olsen Oneshot is a strange beast to sell, initially made up of the Jimmy Olsen back up strips that ran in the $3.99 Action Comics before a reverse ferret was performed and all the books went to 20 pages, losing their back up strips in the proces. Not all have been collected but these…
Wednesday Comics Review – Action Comics #899
Paul Cornell writes for Doctor Who and is a friend of Steven Moffatt. As a result he is very acquainted with the Comic Relief special from ten years ago Doctor Who And The Curse Of Fatal Death. In which the Doctor and the Master try to outsmart each other by revealing they have both gone…
Friday Night Dinner Got A Second Series, Live
Last night a “meet the cast” event for the Channel 4 late night sitcom Friday Night Dinner, starring Tamsin Greig, Simon Bird and Mark Heap, at the London Apple Store. Because, of course, that’s the place all the groovy cats hang out. Anyway, with the first series coming to a close, the editor of Channel…
“I Saved You ‘Til Last” – Wes Craven’s My Soul To Take
To warm up UK audiences for the impending Scream 4, Wes Craven’s most recently released, My Soul to Take, is about to hit DVD and Blu-ray. There’s no new trailer, as I can see, but here’s a clip called “I saved you ’til last”. It’s exclusive to us, apparently. I’ve seen the film, and am…
Disney Pixar Confirm Monsters University
Next year’s follow up to Monsters Inc. will indeed be a prequel and, as I danced around the other day, will be called Monsters University. The news comes from the floor of Cinema Con, formerly Showest, where the big studios market incessantly in baking the Vegas heat. Here’s a quote from Disney’s Worldwide distribution VP:…

Wednesday Runaround – Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber
TweetWatch: Ron Marz: If there’s a better pairing than horrible, selfish nutbag Ayn Rand and Bluewater, I’ve yet to hear it: http://on.cbr.cc/i4mY0n Bluewater Productions: I can think of a couple things… Ron Marz: Really? Like what? And don’t say “unauthorized Justin Bieber comic,” that’s too easy.] Bluewater Productions: How about the sale numbers on Witchblade….
Tuesday Trending Topics: Doctor Who And The Justice League
A little something for everyone on BC today, though I think I’m most interested in all the Justice League movie talk that popped over the past few days. There was also quite a bit of interest in Gollum, Doctor Who, and Mr You-Know-Who today. Plus a bit about what retailers and pros were saying on…
Did NBC Listen To Your Wonder Woman Costume Suggestions? (Video)
When we did a little roundup of the various fan photoshop fixes of Adrianne Palicki in the new TV Wonder Woman costume, one very common adjustment was to change the boots to red. Well, squint real hard at what a Wonder Woman fan appears to have phonecammed on the set: Elizabeth Hurley said on twitter…
David Lapham And German Nobile’s Caligula – Avatar Plug of The Week
Tomorrow i Wednesday. Your comic shelves are full of brightly coloured heroes fighting brightly coloured villains. La la la la la. But what if you want something really nasty? Presenting Caligula, by David Lapham and German Nobile. Yes, that should do it.
Spider-Man To The Hulk – Peculiar Comic Book Family Trees
Superhero comic books, it has been often said, are like soap operas. Well, it looks like they have the family trees to match. Here is how you get from Spider-Man to the Hulk…
Nathan Greno, Byron Howard And Glen Keane Talk To Me About Tangled
I recently took part in a virtual roundtable with Glen Keane, long time Disney animator and key player in Tangled, the House of Mouse’s latest feature length toon. Unfortunately, none of my questions were pushed forward to Keane. I suspect they were a touch controversial – he appears on the verge of leaving Disney for…

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…
