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…

Alejandro Jodorowsky Prepping Auto-Biopic, Dance Of Reality
Ten years ago, Alejandro Jodorowksy published his autobiography, The Dance of Reality, which recounts both the reality and a more magical interpretation of his early life in Tocopilla, Chile. It’s pretty hard to come by, and copies on Amazon cost as much as $45.00, and I’ve never read it despite being quite fascinated by the…
The Candyland Movie Is Modelled On Lord Of The Rings?
Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, the screenwriters of Kung Fu Panda 2, are currently at work trying to fashion some kind of credible screenplay for a movie based on the Candyland board game. Instead of pitching this at the level of a Care Bears movie (as you might be forgiven for expecting), the plan is…
A Clockwork Orange: The Comic Book
Kevin Colden has a strip in the Strange Adventures anthology book out from Vertigo on Wednesday. But enough of that, here are some pages from a pitch he once made for a comic book adaptation of the Anthony Burgess novel, A Clockwork Orange. Hi!
Full And Uninterrupted Torchwood: Miracle Day Trailer
See you later, annoying Access Hollywood people. We can now enjoy the trailer for Torchwood: Miracle Day in better quality, unabridged and without interruption. Just nobody mention the Starz logo. (We’re still waiting for a BBC version that is easily accessible in the UK. In the meantime… get creative).
New Star Wars Theme Park Attraction Will Let You Take Part In X-Wing And TIE Fighter Dogfight – UPDATE
The new Star Tours 2 attraction is still very fresh at Walt Disney World and yet to open at Disneyland, but already it seems that the Mouse’s imagineers are hard at work on a new, rather ambitious, Star Wars attraction. Judging from blueprints submitted for patent last year, Walt Disney Imagineering are cooking up an…
Justice League Dark From DC Comics
A few weeks ago, Bleeding Cool told you that DC Comics was bringing you something called Dark. And illustrated it with a black rectangle. Because I had no other image to show. I still don’t. But I do have the first title for whatever Dark may be. Justice League Dark. This is post-Flashpoint, folks. We’re…
Robert Kirkman To Leave Haunt Too
We know that Greg Capullo is jumping off the Image ongoing comic Haunt from Todd McFarlane’s studios, to work on Batman for DC Comics. But Bleeding Cool now understands that writer and co-creator with McFarlane, Robert Kirkman, is also leaving the title at the same time. Both creators’ last issue will be #18, solicited for…
This New Trailer For A Huge Thanksgiving Film Packs A Wonderful Surprise
This trailer has been online since May 20th but nobody much found it… not until some PR e-mails went around today and gave everybody a nudge. If you don’t already know what the big surprise is, you’ll be very surprised when the big reveal comes. Honestly – no matter what you think of this trailer…
Stan Lee Spills On His Amazing Spider-Man Cameo
Should you want to know the circumstances of Stan Lee‘s cameo in Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man, The Man himself gave the game away at this weekend’s Dallas Comic-Con. Naughty Stan. I’ve done a wee transcript, or you can watch a video of Lee’s spillage below that. There’s a big battle going on with Spider-Man and…
Lying In The Gutters – 23rd May 2011
Apologies to any non-Brits, the above strip won’t make a lick of sense. But then we get baseball films, so I think we’re even. Top Ten Traffic Stories Of The Week 1. DC Comics To Relaunch Everything 2. I’ve Seen X-Men First Class 3. First Image Of Tom Hardy As Bane 4. Bleeding Cool Asks…

Look! It Moves by Adi Tantimedh #101: Three Click To Be Noir
LA NOIR is being hailed as a remarkable achievement in games and a watershed in the evolution of video games. Even Charlie Brooker live-tweeted that he was blown away by it and has devoted his Guardian column this week to it. It was the first video game was previewed at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival…

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…
