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…

Getting ready for its big coming out ball at Cannes is Melancholia, a sci-fi movie about the end of the world – literally, for once.

Spotify Looking To Launch Streaming Movie Service With Very Short Theatrical Window – UPDATE
I use the music streaming service Spotify an awful lot. I’ve even mentioned it here, from time to time. Hopefully, it’s a service that will go from strength to strength, gather lots of paying subscribers, play a part in curtailing piracy and help create new revenue streams for recording artists. There’s a lot that will…
Jonah Hill Is Taking A Gun To Prom In 21 Jump Street Set Snap
Courtesy of Jonah Hill, here’s a picture of Jonah Hill. I wonder who he’s sleeping with to get access like this. What we learn from this image is that the new 21 Jump Street has guns, tacky prom suits and a slimmed down leading man. Just what the doctor ordered (possibly literally). Phil Lord and…

For the first time, the Kubert family, Joe Kubert, Adam Kubert and Andy Kubert, will have a joint exhibition at the Israeli Museum Of Caricature And Comics in Holon for the first time.

So I’ve Just Been Talking To The Washington Times For Half An Hour About Action Comics #900
Do you have your copy of Action Comics #900? Good. I get the feeling it will be disappearing from shelves pretty shortly, even at that $5.99 cover price. As the headline says I was called up at home by a reporter on the Washington Times to talk about the events in Action Comics #900 I…
Gaston Gets Sequel, Fifteen Years After Creator Died
Legendary Belgian humor comic Gaston created by André Franquin is to get a spinoff series featring the character’s nephew Gastoon, in August, entitled Gastoon Vol 1: Gaffe Au Neveu. The reason this is such a big deal is that André Franquin specifically requested that his work not be continued after his death, in 1997. Ah…
Fox News Notices Superman’s Lack Of Americanness, Commentators Are As Hilarious As Ever
Linking to a Wired report on Action Comics #900, Fox News has given a rather measured response online to the events therein, saying; “Superman renounces his U.S. citizenship in Action Comics’ record-breaking 900th issue. But that’s not all the benevolent alien refugee does in the sprawling special issue, which hits stores Wednesday. The Man of…
Never Mind The Bollocks – An Etymology Of A Swear Word
Time to put the spoiler hat on for anyone who hasn’t read the final issue of Brightest Day. And who hasn’t been spoiled reading Comics Alliance, Newsarama and the like. And so who hasn’t realised that the final few pages see the return of yet another Vertigo character to the DC Universe that bore them,…

Exclusive Cars 2 Concept Art Reveals A Right Royal Round-Up, New TV Spot
Cars 2 is obviously quite the epic, with a massive number of characters, running around on a truly international stage and is reputed to have the biggest and most elaborate action set-pieces in Pixar’s history. It’s an amazing reinvention of the Cars series, taking the characters screeching off in an enitrely new direction. I’m looking…
The Professional Swipe Artists Of Comics
Ever since Bleeding Cool ran the first Rob Granito article, there’s been something in the air. Rob Granito famously posed as a comic book and animation professional with plenty of credits to his name, none of which stood up when you looked into them. He wasn’t an animator on Batman cartoons under Bruce Timm. He…

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…
