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…

Swipe File: Green Lantern and Care Bears
From Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors, out this week from DC Comics And the Care Bear Stare, from the Care Bears animated cartoon, engraved on the mind of anyone unfortunate to have raised toddlers during the early nineties. In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may…
Second Muppets Teaser Gives Danny Trejo The Killer Line
Having channeled every sloppy-spined Rom Com ever for their first teaser, James Bobin, Jason Segel and The Muppets are now getting their Hangover on for this, their second trailer in under a week. Enjoy The Fuzzy Pack. Just a couple of the film’s many cameo appearances there. Well played, Trejo. You can see this teaser…
When Will Hawkman Get His Movie?
So Green Lantern receives a toast at his local bar hangout from Elektra, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Superman, Kick Ass, all the superheroes who have now got movies, welcoming a newcomer into their membership. And Hawkman who is still as bitter as they come.
Robert Kirkman Insisted On Covering Up Eve’s Bottom In Invincible #79
Here’s original art from Invincible #79 by Ryan Ottley And here’s a close up of that panel of Eve, Invincible’s girlfriend. Doing the old “does my bum look big in this?” act. But a little bit too much for writer Robert Kirkman who requested a little reinking… And the final composite version as printed… Thanks…
Mogo Doesn’t Eulogize (Green Lantern SPOILERS)
There’s an awful lot of stuff going on in comic books this week, but it’s worth taking time to check out this one, I think. In this week’s issue of Green Lantern Corps, released on Wednesday, Green Lanterns John Stewart and Kyle Rayner are up against the possessed Green Lantern Mogo, an entire sentient planet,…
DC Comics Can Use Stolen Documents Against Marc Toberoff
Variety reports that DC Entertainment may have just had an unexpected step up in their battle against lawyer Marc Toberoff in their battle to keep Superman. Marc Toberoff is representing the estates of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster against Warner Bros and DC Entertainment to reclaim copyrights to the Superman character. And DC has counter-sued…
Ed Whitfield Has A Hangover Too With The Hangover Part 2
Ed Whitfield has been to see The Hangover Part 2 for us, and will review it. But first, he has a confession to make: What’s the worst hangover you’ve ever had? For me it was Christmas Eve, 1997; a modest party, with a guestlist of no more than 2,000, was swinging like the proverbial Lord…
Bryan O’Malley, Hope Larson And Jeff Lemire Join Jamie McKelvie On Art Brut Comic Book
We knew that Jamie McKelvie was drawing the cover to the new Art Brut album Brilliant! Tragic! But it appears the band are doing a lot more than that. To accompany the album they’re releasing a full 28 page comic book by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Hope Larson, Jamie Mckelvie, Jeff Lemire, Akira The Don, Jamie…
Captain America For Mayor
In the small town of Los Molinos in Chico, California, the position of mayor is a purely honourable one. And rather than being voted for, it is given to the citizen who raises the most money to help put on the annual Fourth of July events. Which, in Kevin Benson Sr’s case, means dressing up…
Apocalypse Now: Theatrical Reissue Review
Apocalypse Now is back in UK cinemas from tomorrow, May 27th. Ben Shillito went to re-watch it for us: For a number of reasons, reviewing Apocalypse Now is almost impossible. This film, practically unique in the annals of cinema, has such a weight of history and myth heaped upon it that the mere celluloid is…

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…
