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…

Uncanny X-Men 537 And Action Comics 901: Wednesday Comic Reviews
Two comics out today, both seem to be telling stories already told. Reading Uncanny X-Men #537, the silent, intangible Kitty Pryde being pursued across Utopia by Kruun of Breakworld, unable to summon the help she needs, I immediately flashbacked to another X-Men comic from almost thirty years and five hundred issues ago. Uncanny X-Men #143….
Green Lantern Movie Still Of The Guardians
From the new Green Lantern comic book, out today. Two Guardians of Oa , sitting within the Planetary Citadel. The film will feature Guardians including Ganthet, Sayd, Appa, Scar and more, designed by Grant Major. Green Lantern is released on June 17th in Britain and America.
Wednesday Runaround – The Cosplay’s The Thing
AlcoholWatch: This is the San Diego Superhero Cosplay Pub Crawl for Comic Con this year… You realise it’ll just be men going, right? GlitchWatch: Fantastic Four by John Byrne Omnibus – Volume 1 – listed by Marvel as $125, by Amazon at $100 and now discounted down to $63… MadMenWatch: Looks like X-Men First Class isn’t…
That Big Spoiler Cameo Scene In The Middle Of X-Men: First Class (SPOILERS)
There is a scene in X-Men First Class that is so surprising, funny and quite, quite brilliant, that everyone we spoke to at the preview last night decided we should keep secret. Sadly the British tabloid press has not regarded it as quite so sacrosanct. All we can say is try to avoid any Daily…
Tuesday Trending Topics: Matthew Vaughn Takes Names
He seems to be done with the Kick Ass part of the equation, according to what he told Brendon earller. He said lots of other things too, about X-Men First Class, his super spy project with Mark Millar, and more. Speaking of, it was a big X-Men First class day on BC, with more coming…
VIDEO: We Just Saw X-Men First Class
I just went to see X-Men First Class with the good lady wife and Tom Daylight from the Bleeding Cool boards. Post show, we popped into the nearby Pizza Hut (it’s Leicester Square, what are you going to do) and Tom and I… well we kind of geeked out while good lady wife held the…
A Comic Show – The Poop Coming Right At You
Aaron and Tri-Force Mike get hit by a penis in the face in Crossed 3D. But that’s not all, tomorrow’s comics gives the boys three Green Lanterns, with the original, Corps and Emerald Warriors, all in one week. Swamp Thing in Green Arrow, as Aaron always said. Hating Doomsday in Action Comics. Hickman nailing FF….
Matthew Vaughn On X-Men: First Class – On The Writing Credits, On The Bond Influence, On The Difficult Shoot And More
It seems like the quality of X-Men: First Class is inversely proportional to the difficulties faced in bringing it to the screen. These challenges, and how some of them were overcome, made up much of my chat with Matthew Vaughn at the weekend. We also talked about the X-Men film he almost made some years…
Matthew Vaughn On His Mark Millar/Dave Gibbons Super Spy Project
We don’t yet know the name of the Matthew Vaughn-Mark Millar-Dave Gibbons super spy project, an undertaking that is already underway as a comic and later set to become a film. This is apparently because some kind of legal clearance needs to be attained, but this was expected to be resolved weeks ago. I wonder…
Why The Kick-Ass 2 Movie Probably Won’t Ever Happen
Time for another slice of Matthew Vaughn pie. Later on, we’ll get to some in depth discussion of X-Men: First Class, with both Vaughn and screenwriter Jane Goldman, but before then, let’s take care of Any Other Business. Speaking to Vaughn on Sunday, the subject of Kick-Ass, and its potential sequel, was pretty much guaranteed…
Matthew Vaughn Tells Us Which Hot Potato An X-Men: First Class Follow Up Could Juggle
While Matthew Vaughn is literally recovering from the stresses and strains of making X-Men: First Class, a massive, complex and ambitious film that he delivered in amazing time before succumbing to some nasty, exhaustion-abetted tonsillitis, he’s also being gracious enough to speak to the press. Chatting with him on Sunday yielded a wonderful amount of…
Chewbacca And An Ewok Dance To Guns n Roses
I think this video is, obviously, something very special. Of course, I felt the same way about “Puppy screams Elmo” for ten minutes or so, until the Dentist’s medicine started to wear off. If you want to know about a much more interesting crossover between Disney and Star Wars then check out one of last…

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…
