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…

I Walked With A Zombie Remake To Star Gary Oldman and Liv Tyler?
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool RKO Pictures isn’t a company you hear much about anymore. Aside from a handful of recent remakes like the Michael Douglas movie Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, their name has remained firmly planted in the past, attached to movies like 1951′s The Thing and 1942′s Cat People. Incidentally, both of…
The Title Of Neil Gaiman’s Doctor Who Episode Is Pure Geek Bait
Scheduled to air in the fourth slot of the new series of Doctor Who, the Neil Gaiman-penned episode of my new favourite TV drama has been a little while coming. I think we first knew such a thing was going to exist about three or four years ago. I’m sure it will have been worth…
First Look At Johnny Depp On Set Of Scorsese’s Hugo Cabret
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool: I have a friend who doesn’t like Martin Scorsese. Every time he is brought up, he makes a snide remark about the man. My friend, as you can probably guess, is crazy. Scorsese is one of the most accomplished directors of all time. Goodfellas, Casino, and Raging Bull are…
Concept Art And Casting Switcheroo For Pixar’s Brave – HI-RES UPDATE
Reese Witherspoon is out, and Kelly MacDonald is in. That’s not copy for a celeb magazine’s Hot or Not “thermometer of the week”, it’s the casting news on Pixar’s upcoming folk-tale, Brave. And it’s not the first big switcheroo the film has seen, either. The project swapped directors last year, with Brenda Chapman leaving and…
Clint #9 Cover Seems Unnecessarily Harsh Regarding Ryan Reynolds
He’s playing Green Lantern. He wants to play Deadpool. But seriously, this is a rather harsh language for the man, isn’t it? Oh, wait it’s CLiNT isn’t it? Playing the SFX game. What was I thinking? Of course, appearing on the front cover of Titan and Mark Millar’s CLiNT… scheuled for the same month in…

It may not have escaped your notice that Rob Granito appeared at MegaCon this weekend. You can catch up with the timeline here. Ethan Van Sciver publically posted; I’m at the airport in Orlando! MegaCon is done! It was great. Mark Waid and I told Granito he was not allowed to go to anymore comic…

The Port Eliot film festival in St. Germans, Cornwall, have announced the collaboration of Martin Scorsese in programming a series of drive-in inspired, outdoor double bills. It appears that some of his choices are still secret, as the festival are saying his selection will “include” the following pairings: Murder on the Orient Express (1974, dir…
Sunday Trending Topics: Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, And Empowered
It’s still a Rob Granito kind of weekend, but Adam Warren‘s Empowered reaction to Wonder Woman, and the news that Amy Adams is Lois Lane, have made this a busy Sunday indeed. I have a strong hunch we’re in for a busy pre-WonderCon week, so let’s get caught up… Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Who On…
Jim Henson’s Pilot For A Wizard Of Id TV Series
If I could get away with it, I’d post something Jim Henson related every day. I can’t, but this – this – I’d post if I only went Henson once every year. It’s a remarkable little video. First, though, some context. Jim Henson attempted to bring Johnny Hart‘s Wizard of Id comic strips to TV…
Film Of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods Gets “Genius” Director With “Many, Many Oscars”
Neil Gaiman has dropped some hints about an upcoming, big screen adaptation of American Gods, his second novel. The rights were only finally sold “like, last week after talking to people for years” but a director is already in the frame. He says: There is one cinematographer and director on board who has many, many…

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…
