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 Doctor’s Daughter Has Had The Doctor’s Daughter
I thought it might be suitably timey-wimey to just run an old story of Rich’s and change the tenses around a bit. David Tennant’s girlfriend Georgia Moffett was pregnant, according to the Daily Mail. It was previously announced that they were engaged to be married. David Tennant is most famous for playing The Doctor in the…
First Look At Andy Serkis In His New Gollum Costume
Here’s our first look at Andy Serkis in his new Gollum suit, pap-snapped coming out of his trailer on the set of The Hobbit. Not quite the same as the last one, is it? And no, I mean that. That one was more like this: Thanks to The One Ring for their espionage.
Disney Have Ditched The Next Film From Tron: Legacy’s Director
Unveiled at last year’s Comic-Con, Oblivion is a still-to-be published, illustrated novel cooked up from a premise by Joseph Kosinski, the sometime commercials whizz kid who directed Tron: Legacy. Disney entered into a deal to adapt the book to a feature and set William Monahan, writer of The Departed about the task. Then, as recently…
A Comic Show – The Comic Book Plague
The sickness of Aaron after con plague, with Tri Force Mike rubbing his nose in his health. Rob Granito gets ignored for Geoff Johns and Zeb Wells, and we’re right into tomorrow’s comics from guys who have read them with Guy Gardner in Emerald Warriors, Jimmy Olsen‘s collected shorts, Action Comics as it all kicks…
Hailee Steinfeld’s Sleeping Beauty Don’t Need No Stinking Kiss
Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: Without doubt, one of the stars of Oscar season was Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit‘s Mattie Ross. Mattie demonstrated through word and deed that she was the equal of any hired gun when it came down to the wire. With her nomination for best actress, Hailee showed she was a…
New Doctor Who Episode To Be Written By Some 9-11 Year Old Kids
I was overjoyed when Steven Moffat took the reins of Doctor Who and… actually, if I don’t watch it, this is just going to turn into me pouring scorn on previous incarnations of the show. But let’s face it: it used to have potential. Now, it’s actually, really, honestly good. Or at least it is…
Ninja Turtle Designer Polishes One Off In Bed
Started during a Lamaze class and finished in bed (thereby inverting the normal flow of cause and effect), here’s a sketch of Donatello the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle by Alex Deligiannis, a designer on their new Nickelodeon show.* It’s a characterful piece, I think, if not exactly a Donatello. Deligiannis is a veritable TMNT nut…
Will Swamp Thing Return For Earth Day? (UPDATE)
Ever since China Mieville’s Swamp Thing series was canned after five issues were dropped in the Vertigo bin, the expectation is that Swamp Thing would return to the DC Universe and that the series Brightest Day by Geoff Johns would be the means to do so. And the whole forest in Star City, and the…
Trailer For Soul Man: It’s A Bit Like The Incredibles Infused With Blaxploitation
Six minutes of Guillame Ivernel‘s Soul Man were premiered at European toon symposium Cartoon Movie in early March, and word was good. Now a short teaser video has arrived online and it has cult movie written all over it. That clip is being promoted by XLRender, a software company positing an in-the-cloud solution to the…

SCOOP: Life Of Agony’s Alan Robert To Produce Film Of Own Comic, Wire Hangers
He doesn’t do things by halves, does he? Alan Robert, bassist and original member for rock band Life of Agony and founder of punk band Spoiler NYC, is now making a live action movie of his own comic, Wire Hangers from IDW, which in a stunning departure for musicians-turned-comic-creatorse, he wrote and drew himself without…
Ernest Borgnine And Mickey Rooney Turning Their Nursing Home Into A Nightclub
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool If you’ve ever wanted to see a film that is essentially Grumpy Old Men meets A Night at the Roxbury (and really, who hasn’t), then you’re going to want to pay attention to this one. News coming from Toronto Sun is that screen legends Ernest Borgnine and Mickey Rooney…

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…
