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…

[UPDATE] Jim Lee: “I won’t f*#k this up”, Plus Your Handy DC Comics Reboot Roundup
[UPDATED] Well then. I think that was the busiest day on the comics internet since Bleeding Cool’s inception. And it was certainly Bleeding Cool’s busiest day ever, two days running, which is pretty appropriate considering we’re two years old today. I kinda like this tweet from Jim Lee earlier and think it sums up the…
DC Relaunch: Full JLA Art including Flash & Batman Designs, Hawkman #1 With Robinson & Tan, Birds Of Prey #1 Without Gail Simone?
Still not done quite yet. The full version of that Jim Lee JLA art has emerged over the past couple hours. I first saw it from the sharp-eyed DC Women Kicking Ass, it may have first surfaced in this IGN story. CBR’s Kiel Phegley has a good article that starts to fill out some emerging…
DC Relaunch: The Hooking Up Of Superman And Wonder Woman
Okay, out of all the post-Flashpoint stories I’m running, this is the one on the least firm foundations. But, if true, will have the biggest multi-media implications. I’m told that Superman and Wonder Woman will be getting together. In a very media friendly fashion, indeed. Or at least it will be a plot point. A…
Torchwood Featurette Has New Footage, Promises Statements About Human Nature
Russell T Davies promises, in a new featurette, that the upcoming Miracle Day series of Torchwood will feature “terrible, terrible statements about human nature and beautiful, beautiful statements about human nature as well”. Meanwhile, the actual clips included promise that show will give us people who are still alive despite being horribly mangled and helicopters getting…
DC Relaunch: OMAC #1
Okay, so we know there are 52 issue ones launching in DC. Some titles will be binned, some will be relaunched with a new look, quite literally even, and there will be new books too. I’m told that one of them may well be OMAC #1, with some involvement by big OMAC fan, Scott Kolins….
Superhero Specialist Hired To Write Hangover 3
As a direct result of the stupid amount of money sluiced into cinema cash registers around the world this last weekend, work on a third Hangover film has already gotten underway. The Tracking Board were the first to note that Craig Mazin has been hired to write the script. (Is that surname an abbreviation –…
DC Relaunch: Legion Lost #1
In September, along with all the new issue one relaunches, Bleeding Cool has been told to expect a new Legion Of Superheroes series, Legion Lost. The previous Legion Lost series by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning has just been reprinted in hardcover. But it seems this new series, whatever it is, has nothing to do…
DC Relaunch: Brian Clevinger Dropped From Firestorm Before You Even Knew He Was On It
Amongst the new books and new creators for September, was to have been 8-Bit Theater, Atomic Robo and Marvel Adventures writer Brian Clevinger, working on a new Firestorm comic for DC Comics. And I was going to tell you about it today. At the end of Brightest Day, we saw that the Anti-Monitor’s effect on…
DC Relaunch: A New Multi-Colour Lantern Team Book
In September, Bleeding Cool has been told to expect a new Green Lantern team book, made up of one member from each of the differing Lantern emotional colour spectrum. Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Orange…. and Black? Care Bear Stares each and every month! And some kind of Tyler Kirkham involvement. Bleeding Cool has…
SCOOP: Thor Scribes Writing New Adventure Film For Peyton Reed
This weekend, I got to speak a little with Thor screenwriters Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (no specs and specs respectively). They were in London for the MCM Expo and were taking time out between the panels to chat with some bloggers and journalists. I’ll follow up later with more of what they told me –…
DC Relaunch: The New Superman #1
In Superman #1, launching in September, we will see what appears to be a new uniform for Superman. Based on the usual style, but more segmented with scores, seams or raised lines running across and around his arms, legs and torso. Kneepads as part of a segmented bulky boot. And a belt that reflects the…
DC Relaunch: Bob Wayne Talks To Retailers About Day-And-Date Digital
Bob Wayne, Senior Vice President of Sales at DC Comics, has written to comic book retailers today, outlining much of what Bleeding Cool has been telling you, as well as addressing all DC books going day-and-date-digital. He writes; A LETTER ON THE DC UNIVERSE AND SEPTEMBER 2011 To our comics retail partners, In the time…

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…
