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.

First Official Image From The Avengers, Official Plot Set-Up
How long have they been shooting The Avengers? A day? And there’s an official still already? Well, how long can it take to.. er… assemble some chairs? Very cute that they’re using aliases like that, and it’s nice to see the set in the background. Here’s the official plot blurb: Marvel’s The Avengers is the…
EXCLUSIVE: Green Lantern Poster Premieres – Kilowog And Sinestro
Here are the two next Green Lantern character posters, showcasing Mark Strong as Sinestro and a lot of swanky CG as Kilowog.* I think these complete the set of leading Lanterns from the movie. At first, I wasn’t expecting this film to be anything like this full with aliens. As more and more clips and trailers…
My Monthly Curse by Phill Hall #7 – Enter The McFarlane
Phill Hall used to be the News editor for Comics International before launching the PDF comics magazine Borderline before abandoning comics altogether. Now, however, he is going to look back on it all for Bleeding Cool. There’s this thing called the Reset Button – any means by which previously occurring drastic events are made partially…
First Trailer For The Immortals – UPDATED With Better Quality
From ET, presumably aired LN, comes our first look at footage from Tarsem’s The Immortals, starring a pre-Superman Henry Cavill. The director appears to have eschewed the hand-made, tactile look of The Fall and the intricate, if not fiddly, detailing of The Cell for something a bit more… well, 300. This is just a cammed-off-the-telly…

It states that Barnes & Noble will be offering more Marvel and DC single titles as well as independent comics, specifically naming certain Dynamite licensed titles….

Bleeding Cool has just shown off five retailer exclusive covers for the Avatar/Boundless launch of War Goddess #0. But what about the comic book itself? Well, here’s a preview of the comic in question.
The First Retailer Exclusive Covers Of War Goddess
Boundless Comics is launching a new series called War Goddess. We’ve mentioned it once or twice. Specifically how comic shops can get their own Retailer Exclusive editions of the debut #0 issue. Boundless is debuting some of the cover options here. Isn’t that nice? This Matt Martin cover is available to comic shops that place…
Painting The Doctor With Help From A Couple Of Edwards
The Silents Will Scream by Edward Munch and RONENV.COM. Nightdoctor by Jesse Rubenfield, with apologies to Edward Hopper. Happy now?

Trailer For Anna Faris And Chris Evans Comedy From Director Of Royle Family And Shameless
The resume of director Mark Mylod is sparkling with TV gems from the first episodes of The Royle Family and Shameless, through to a turn with The United States of Tara. Meanwhile, it’s also been smattered with a couple of not-quite-there movies, Ali G Indahouse and The Big White – a pair of films I enjoyed, sure, but…

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…
