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…

27 Puzzle Still Unsolved – Here’s A Bleeding Cool Nudge
Bleeding Cool reported way back that there was a puzzle in the pages of Image comics series 27 that, if solved, would win the clever guy or gal a free return flight to the Comic Con of your choice on your continent, or a major contribution towards a flight further afield. And while author Charles…
Star Trek The Next Generation XXX: A Porn Parody With Action Figures (SFW)
A lot has been made of the recent Star Trex XXX Porn Parody that, without the sex, is a rather decent stand alone episode of The Next Generation, fitting snugly into Star Trek continuity. So naturally the next step was to rerecord it with dolls. And not inflatable ones. Part one… And part two…
$10,000 Of Stolen Neal Adams Art
Yesterday at the Big Apple Comic Con, an envelope of original artwork belonging to Neal Adams was lifted off his table. Below, see scans of the pieces in the stolen envelope. A police report has been filed but please check the image below in case you see any work on sale anywhere… UPDATE: Not this…
Conan O’Brien: The Movie
Ahead of his TBS show late last year, Conan O’Brien grew a beard, opened an infamous Twitter account and took to the road for a live tour. Now, you can peer into that episode of the big red one’s life, with the movie Can’t Stop. Here’s the trailer and a clip. You can see the…
Conan O’Brien: The Comic Book
Bleeding Cool pointed out how Conan O’Brien had been trying to make a comic book character, The Flaming C. Well, now it seems Bluewater are making this American talk show host and comedian into a comic book. Part of their Fame series, this will likely be the rather bland, lightboxed photos with narrative captions taken…
Our First Look At A Real Torchwood: Miracle Day Trailer
Courtesy of Access Hollywood, and therefore hexed by their voice over black-magic, here’s a real trailer for Torchwood: Miracle Day. There’s an awful lot of gunplay in this footage, and things blowing up. And I noticed that, just like the Doctor in the Eleventh Hour, here we have Captain Jack Harkness pulling himself up out…
Sunday Runaround – Crushing On Heidi
GenderWatch: Comics Alliance gets female comic bloggers and commentators to talk about the “Geek Girl” phenomenon of late. Heidi: I know that being the only girl for so long I got a lot of attention, to be honest, but I ALSO know that everyone accepted me as being smart and talented, even if I found…
AUDIO: Geeking Out On Local Radio With Bleeding Cool’s Own
One of my other jobs* sees me do weekly movie review round ups for a couple of radio stations here in Oxford. On Sunday mornings, somewhere in the run up to 10am, you can hear me on Jack FM‘s Sunday Roast; while on Friday mornings, shortly after 8am, you can hear me on Glide FM‘s…
Eleven Hot Comics On A Sunday Morning
The sun is shining. The day is breaking. There appears to be no earthquake, apocalypse or other end-of-the-world scenario. Might as well check your recent comics purchases to see if you can flip them on eBay – and fund this week’s comics purchases. instead 1. Uncanny X-Force #4 $30 2. Action Comics #900 $26 3….
Saturday Trending Topics: The #Rapture Didn’t Hap– Oh, Wait
Had to laugh at the juxtaposition of the top two comic stories today. As Veidt among others has reminded us, the end of the world can be good for business if you know where to look. The #rapture has definitely been good for twitter, and even Bleeding Cool, a bit. And speaking of Watchmen, as…
Ten Thoughts About Doctor Who: The Rebel Flesh
Another week, another Doctor Who. I just love typing that still. Anyway, spoilers for this week’s episode, obviously. Let’s talk. 1. There Are Some Things Man Is Not Meant To Know. An old gothic castle on an abandoned, isolated island. At night. With a lightning (solar) storm. And inside amidst dark and moody corridors, mysterious…
Frank Miller Taken By The Rapture?
Kimberly Cox, friend of Bleeding Cool and partner of Frank Miller, popped in to see how he was doing in their New York apartment just forty minutes ago. And discovered he’d been raptured away. Turns out he was the only worthy individual in the world. The rest of us six billion are all heathens…

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…
