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…

Kirsten Dunst And Sofia Coppola Reteaming For Secret Door
UPDATE: This is nothing more than a hoax, perpetrated by goofballs on Twitter. Have I learned to disregard non-authorised accounts, finally? Probably not. In what will mark their third feature film together, Kirsten Dunst has agreed to star in Sofia Coppola‘s still-being-scripted* movie, Secret Door. This is per the twitter account of American Zoetrope, Coppola…
Rob Williams Signs Exclusive With Marvel
On the Marvel Live Blog on Friday night, Marvel announced that Rob Williams, of ComX and 2000AD, and now working on Ghost Rider, was to be a Marvel exclusive – thankfully after he’d finished writing The Walking Dredd with Brendan McCarthy of course. But of course Rob was mostly there to talk about the continuity-traversing…
First Trailer For Our Idiot Brother, Comedy With A Knockout Cast
Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, Steve Coogan, Hugh Dancy, Kathryn Hahn, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott. Crikey. That’s a well stocked larder. You may recall that the film was called My Idiot Brother when it played at Cannes. The shift to a more-ensemble sounding tag probably reflects how salable that cast is, at…
Captain America And Nick Fury Filming In Times Square… But Why?
We’re in the middle of a four-day holiday weekend here in the UK, the first of a pair, thanks to some wedding or another. It’s time for barbecues, caravanning and general mucking about.* Not so in New York’s Times Square, where Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson spent their Saturday filming. It’s obvious from the…

Okay, this is where it pretty much gets official.

Current Hellblazer writer Peter Milligan, and DCU contributor, confirmed that, yes, John Constantine is…

Saturday Trending Topics: Barnes & Noble & Comics
Is the long-fabled national comic chain finally coming this July? Probably not, but Barnes & Noble’s rumored comic expansion is sure to be a much-watched move in what is already shaping up to be a busy summer for the industry. Greg Capullo to DC turned a lot of heads on this site today, and…
What Does This Doodle Reveal About The Plans Of There Will Be Blood’s Paul Thomas Anderson?
Take a good look at the picture above. What do you see? I see a very vaguely drawn individual, probably in need of a shave, sitting with a hefty, similarly sketchy camera that has apparently been marked 2001. How mysterious. The image is not invented, but copied from a photograph that Paul Thomas Anderson fansite…
Greg Capullo To Draw Batman For DC Comics
Bleeding Cool had previously run a story that Spawn collaborator Greg Capullo was looking to leave the Image comic Haunt for work at DC and Marvel to improve his profile, considering working on Batman or Wolverine.

Brave New World’s Wonderful Free Comic Book Day Ad
Here’s Brave New World Comice of Newhall, California’s ad for Free Comic Book Day, coming up on May 7th. Nice Wonder Woman sting at the beginning. Here’s ours from last year with a certain Mr Kevin Smith. ANyone want to refilm that one with this year’s stock, and amend the “1st” to “7th”?

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…
