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…

Some Intriguing Monsters Inc. 2 Updates – Who’s Back, Who Isn’t
Disney veteran Floyd Norman has dropped a few teasing tweets about Monsters Inc. 2, and while they don’t exactly blow the bloody doors off of Pixar’s Vault of Secrecy, they’re more than a little intriguing. It started on 25 March, with this: Don’t be afraid. Pixar screens “Monsters2″ at Disney this morning. Don’t ask. I…
WARNING! Peanuts Without The Punchline WARNING!
How depressed are you feeling right now? If you are feeling slightly down or worse, stop reading. Or lock the gun, poison and nooses away. Because this is going to get bad. Now. We are familiar with Garfield Minus Garfield, a strip about a man taking to him imaginary cat. Now comes Peanuts Without The…
First Look At An Ape From Rise Of The Apes
Until now, the closest we’d managed to get to one of the Rise of the Apes apes were some paparazzi pictures of Andy Serkis in his performance capture uniform (and we all know how that turned out). Now, Fox have revealed the first, official look at one of the wee chimps, and it’s made its…
Twin Peaks Creator Scripting Contemporary Take On Miss Marple – PERVERSE UPDATE
One of Agatha Christie‘s most enduring creations, Miss Jane Marple is an elderly amateur detective, and one of the most sharp witted spinsters in a pop culture that has, for some reason or another, turned out quite a few. Previously, she has been played by Margaret Rutherford and Angela Lansbury in the movies, and quite…
Marc Guggenheim Knocks Together A Trailer For Halcyon #4
Halycon is one of those strange books from Image Comics that didn’t sell out straight away and become a massive hit in the aftermarket, principally because retailers knew Marc Guggenheim’s impressive track record and ordered with a little more confidence. Then of course Diamond dropped the UK’s allocation of the second issue in the ocean,…
New Harry Potter Poster Has Newsworthy Logos On It (Sort Of)
If you’re invested in Harry Potter (either financially or emotionally) then you’ll want to see this new poster for The Deathly Hallows Part 2. I’m pretty much over it, myself. The series peaked with episode three, if you ask me, though a couple more were very nicely shot. And see the Real D and IMAX…
Dynamite’s Covers For June Of The Ennis Variety
Let’s take a look as some Boys and Jenny Blood covers from Dynamite in June. And while we’re at it, chuck in a couple of Total Recall covers too. One of them si by Darick Robertson after all and that’s good enough for me.
They’re Teaching These Two Posters For Thor In Our Schools Now
In my day job as a teacher of film, I regularly receive envelopes of study materials from “Film Education”. Today, I received a pair of Thor posters. Here they are, camera phone style: You’ll want to click through to make those bigger and get to learnin’.
Dark Horse Auctioning For Red Cross Aid For Japan
This is just one of the pieces being auctioned off by Dark Horse comics in a fundraise for the Red Cross’ activities in the post tsunami/earthquake Japan. Other items include; Comics and graphic novels signed by Duncan Fegredo: Two sets of the comics miniseries Hellboy: Darkness Calls, Hellboy: The Wild Hunt, and Hellboy: The Storm Free Comic Book…
Lying In The Gutters – 28th March 2011
This was the week with the heaviest traffic in Bleeding Cool’s history. Heaven knows what San Diego will be like. Also, quick plug, I’m signing my royal wedding comics at Forbidden Planet in London on Saturday at 2pm with Gary Erskine. Do come by and say hi if you’re on the right continent. Anyway, these…
It’s Owen Wilson Vs. Michael Sheen In The Midnight In Paris Trailer
Set for a Cannes premiere, the next Woody Allen picture, Midnight in Paris, is already showing off its Allen hallmarks. Just check out this freshly-released trailer. You could say this of most of Allen’s films, I’m sure, but that really is a heck of a cast. I particularly enjoyed the earlier, Sheenier bits. This is…
Look! It Moves! #93: The Loneliness Of The Long-Distance Crysis
I was in the mood for a big, explode-y Hollywood SF blockbuster this weekend, but since there were no new ones on release, I decided to sate the craving by playing CRYSIS 2 instead. First Person Shooters are pretty much the video game equivalent of the Hollywood Blockbuster now, with all the downsides that entails. …

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…
