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…

Christopher Nolan On Board To Reboot Batman, Batman To Appear In Justice League Movie
Cameras are yet to roll on The Dark Knight Rises, the third instalment in Chris Nolan’s trilogy of Batmovies. Too early then, for Warner Bros. to make plans for rebooting the character. Wrong. Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros.’ motion picture group, has told The LA Times that the studio is warming up for a…
Idolized To Be Announced At WonderCon From Aspen
From the writer of Image’s Meltdown and Aspen’s Fathom: Blue Descent, David Schwartz and the artist of Aspen’s Shrugged and Dellec, Micah Gunnell, comes a new thing. A creator-owned comic, Idolized from Aspen. How do I know? I came across this little teaser labelled Wondercon. The Aspen panel is on Saturday at Noon. Aspen’
Joe’s Japanese Story
Jesse Norton, working in animation, writes; When the March 11 earthquake hit Japan, I was sound asleep enjoying my first vacation in years. My friend Joe’s call at 3am was not welcome for many reasons, and there was no way I was returning to slumber that night. Tons of calls started pouring in from around…
The New Miss Marple Is… Jennifer Garner? What Does This Mean?
Disney have found their star for that Miss Marple movie I was telling you about last night, and Deadline say that she will be Jennifer Garner. So if you re-imagine Agatha Christie‘s gentle geriatric sleuth as this much younger, much more American movie star, what can you keep from the original character’s conception to make…
Redesigning The Batmobile With Car Design Fetish
Car Design Fetish has been running a competition to redesign the Batmobile. The US winner was Paul Denton (below) and the International winner was Matt Gould (below that). The remaining entries follow, all copyright their respective creators. With design elements that are possibly DC Entertainment’s. Paul Denton John Duckett Matt Gould Omer Sagiv Salvatore Simonetti…
Free Comic Book Day Overloads Planes Headed To Britain
Free Comic Book Day appears to be growing in Britain. How do we know? Because air freighting copies of the free-to-customers comics from Diamond US to Diamond UK warehouse in advance have forced out regular shipping titles. This is the explanation Diamond UK are giving for late and missing comics in the UK marketplace of…
Tuesday Runaround – Punch This Sucker!
SuckerWatch: Just one of the entries to the Bleeding Cool Sucker Punch original art competition to be judged by Batman And Robin‘s Frazer Irving. Possibly my favourite so far. Think you can do better and win a one-of-a-kind, money-can’t-but lithograph of Sucker Punch concept art by Joel Chang, signed by director Zack Snyder as well…
See Insidious Early And On Us In Old London Town
Below, you’ll see that I’ve put the trailer for James Wan’s Insidious, one of the most acclaimed spook-stories in recent years. I’m glad to be of service, but you’ll have to find your own cushion to hide behind. Having seen the trailer, if you think you’re up to watching the whole, blood-chilling thing, we’ve got…
Monday Trending Topics: The Waid / Van Sciver MegaCon Team-Up
If you missed it over the weekend, there’s more about the Rob Granito saga. Much more, with special guests Mark Waid and Ethan Van Sciver. That aside, there are posts about Ryan Renolds, Joanne Siegel, Peanuts, and Parallax. Some say comics is the greatest show on earth, and here’s today’s installment: Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Rob…
Four Thor Story Posters
Those Thor headshot posters from Marvel Studios last week have kinda stuck with me. Earlier today the kids put on a certain favourite DVD. And as a result, tonight, I had no choice but to make these. Apologies in advance…
VIDEO: Another Tron Legacy DVD And Blu-ray Easter Egg
Ed Dillinger senior and junior are scheming. See some of what they’re up to in this video clip. If there’s ever a Tron 3 (ie. if Tron Legacy sells more DVDs and Blu-rays than is frankly realistic) then its plot roots could likely be traced back through this easter egg, from the upcoming Legacy disc. But…
Russell Crowe For Billy Butcher In The Boys?
As Adam McKay works away on his screenplay adaptation of The Boys, Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson‘s tough-as-nails comics about a government agency created to police the world’s superheroes and villains, he’s also thinking about who he’d like to cast if and (hopefully) when he gets around to shooting it. The obvious choice for Wee…

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…
