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…

Win! Lots Of X-Men: First Class Stuff
As we draw closer and closer to June 1st and the release of X-Men: First Class and also, to be honest, me going to see it for the third time, the excitement continues to mount at The Bleeding Cool Institute For The Special. To let off a bit of steam, I thought we’d give away…
Want To See X-Men First Class For Free?
Attendees of the MCM London Expo this weekend may want to keep their mutant eyes on stalks peeled. Somewhere in the show, there will be a very official looking “X” shape. Take a photo of it, upload it to Twitter with the hashtag #xmenexpo, and you’ll be entered into a draw to win a free…
Amazing Spider-Man 666 Retailer Covers Revealed
Bleeding Cool has already run pieces on the IDW Godzilla and Avatar/Boundless War Goddess mass retailer variant covers, but now Marvel has entered the fray with Amazing Spider-Man #666. If a retailer orders 150% of their usual Amazing Spider-Man numbers, and they can order 500 or more additional covers with their choice of personalised cover….
Wednesday Trending Topics: Banner Ads On Comic Book Covers
As Rich said earlier today, that Strange Adventures cover does look a bit strange as printed, and not for the intended adventurous reason. Of course, this is not the first time advertising or marketing has appeared on the front cover of a comic book. Since Paul Pope is a Kirby fan, and since I’ll use…
Gary Shore’s Trailer For The Next Wolverine Movie (Looks Like It Might Get Him The Job)
Gary Shore sits pretty on the list of in-contention directors for The Wolverine. While we don’t know yet what kind of chance he has in getting the gig, there’s already some indication of what kind of work he’d turn in. Posted to his Vimeo page some three months ago is this trailer for what Shore…
Fox’s Wishlist Of Directors For The Wolverine
Having lost Darren Aronofsky to a personal situation, Fox are once again hunting for a director to see their next Wolverine project to the screen. Seeing as X-Men: First Class is about to bloom into a box-office and critical smash for them, I’m sure they’re feeling pretty gung ho in trying to get more mutants down…
Trailer For The Lion King In 3D Reveals US Theatrical Release Plans
Beauty and the Beast was the first of Disney’s hand-drawn animations to be converted to 3D. We’re still waiting to see the fruits of the stereographers’ labours there – at least we are in most of the world, as it did play for a couple of weeks last year, down in Australasia. If you saw…
Live NOW From The X-Men: First Class Red Carpet In New York
Right now, right this very second, as I type, a couple of Marvel comics people (don’t ask me who but they have glasses, if they’re gone by the time you read this and that helps identify them) are larking about near the red carpet for the New York premiere of X-Men: First Class. Later on,…
Los Angelenos! See Green Lantern For Free With Golden Apple Comics
I don’t know how many passes there are. I don’t know how long it will take until they have gone. But, courtesy of Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles, register with this website, click here and use the code: GLDAPLRC7C Then tell me how it goes… UPDATE: That was fast. Gone, I’m afraid…
Scott Frank Scripting Francis Lawrence’s Houdini Movie
Scott Frank has, to date, only directed one feature,* but he was so bloody good at it, every time I hear he’s writing a film for another director, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed. The next wasted opportunity will see him hand over his screenplay fro Houdini to I Am Legend and Like…
Preview: Robert Kirkman and Rob Liefeld’s The Infinite #2
A few pages from the second issue of Robert Kirkman and Rob Liefeld’s upcoming collaboration, The Infinite. So proof, if nothing else, that issue two is on the way, before issue one is published….
Trailer And Poster For Alexander Payne’s The Descendants With George Clooney
Expanding on the very brief clip from this time last week, here comes the trailer for Alexander Payne‘s The Descendants. It’s been too long since Sideways, and I’m jonesing for more Payne, so this can’t get here fast enough… though, looking at the release schedule, it’s going to be at least six months until I…

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…
