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…

The Big Price Point Mass Debate Continues
In Tom Brevoort’s most recent Question & Answer session at CBR, he stated that both Amazing Spider-Man and the Mighty and New Avengers would be returning to 22 pages of content, but keep their $3.99 price tags. In the debate that followed, Amazing Spider-Man author Dan Slott posted; And DC and (more importantly) retailers are…
First Trailer For Jackie Chan’s Epic 1911
It’s big, bold and government sanctioned. Here’s the first teaser for Jackie Chan’s exciting looking, propaganda infused epic, 1911. The film is scheduled for release later this year in order to mark the 100th anniversary of the Chinese revolution. The irony of this first trailer coming from the film’s official Japanese website amuses me, just…
Numbercrunching DC August 2011 Solicitations
Numbercrunching DC’s August 2011 solicitations, looking at all original DCU-related titles is a little easier. At DC, we have a better idea of page numbers. Not an exact idea but a better idea. Until DC actually post story page numbers in their solicitations, we won’t know for sure, but they seem to be closer to…
BBC3′s The Fades Promo Bits From MCM
BBC3′s The Fades was previewed for the first time at the MCM Expo London today. The footage shown involved ghosty things, old men, sexy women, yoots, people with guns, and lots and lots of shadows. Oh and someone vomiting a live moth. They were also handing out these flyers. Courtesy of my scanner, consider this…
Numbercrunching Marvel August 2011 Solicitations
Time for a slightly delayed numbercrunching for Marvel’s August-shipping comic books. Two things of note. Marvel have seemed to decide that their $2.99 books will be 20 pages long now, just like DC. Exepct they aren’t saying so, and refuse to say what any of their books will actually be in terms of story length….
Sunday Runaround: Spider-Man Robs 7-11
First Real Life Deadpool, now this. A man in a Spider-Man mask was part of an armed robbery of a Wilmington, Delaware 7-11 Friday night. Dana DiFilippo of the Philadelphia Daily News had the most interesting take on this, saying: A man in a Spider-Man mask stormed a Wilmington 7-Eleven early yesterday morning and ordered…
VIDEO: Isaiah Mustafa Is Luke Cage In This Unexplained Trailer
I’d be prepared to bet dollars to donuts* that this ‘trailer’ for a Luke Cage film that doesn’t exist was somehow initiated by Isaiah Mustafa himself. If you haven’t been following, Mustafa is the Old Spice man who is variously on a horse or not, but is always the man your man could smell like,…
The Thrill Electric Thrills MCM
At MCM London Expo yesterday we saw a teaser trailer for Thrill Electric, the enhanced digital comic from Leah Moore and John Reppion, Emma Vieceli and Windflower Studios, coming out in October from Littleloud/Hat Trick/Channel 4 online (and naturally on Pad). Told as a intense story about the women working at the telegraph at the…
Ten Thoughts About Doctor Who: The Almost People
1. “One Day We Will Get Back. Yes, One Day” What a curious combination of the more common “Get back!” and one of the lines from the very original episode of Doctor Who. And more to come. But was there a little metatextualness in; Tenth Doctor Voice: Hello! I’m The Doctor! Eleventh Doctor: No let…
Saturday Trending Topics: Throwing Down The Infinity Gauntlet
There’s been lots of talk around the comic/movie internet recently about just how certain subplots that seem to be taking root in the Marvel Studios movies might play out over the next few years — including where all these Infinity Gauntlet-related rumors might be going, and how they might reconfigure comic continuity to fit the…
Prequel Minisode And Trailer For Next Week’s Doctor Who, A Good Man Goes To War – MULTIREGION UPDATES
It is strongly recommended that you don’t watch either of the following video clips if you haven’t seen tonight’s Doctor Who, The Almost People. The episode ended on a huge surprise cliffhanger and you’ll have that spoiled for you by either of these. First up, The Prequel (which it isn’t, it’s more of A Prologue,…
Fincher’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo NSFW Teaser Bootleg
Playing around the world for the last few days, but yet to receive an official online release, this first teaser trailer for David Fincher‘s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is going down very well. Some nudity from Rooney Mara ensures that this trailer would receive a Red Band warning in the US. It would…

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…
