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 Rule About Flashpoint Is, Don’t Talk About What Comes After Flashpoint
It’s Flashpoint Friday again, and today’s pre-weekend missive is another interesting mystery. As we’ve been telling you, DC Comics is setting themselves up for a major… something this fall by releasing only one comic in the last week of August and then, somehow, relaunching everything in September. Fanning the flames, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee…
Noel Clarke Set To Start Production On New Sci-Fi Horror Film Next Month
This afternoon, Noel Clarke appeared as a guest on Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode‘s Radio 5 film show, today coming live from the Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley. Clarke, Mayo and Kermode: there’s a cocktail for you. Sweet and sour, and with salt around the rim (though not necessarily in that order). Clarke spoke, for…
Geek Girl On The Street Reports: Do We Give A Crap About Captain Jack’s Coat?
Kate Kotler writes for Bleeding Cool; I have a question for all of you out there in Bleeding Cool-land. It’s an important question, one which you should really think carefully about before answering.

Daleks, Divas And Dickheads – Bleeding Cool At MCM London Expo
So the Preview Day at MCM London Expo. It’s more of a meet and greet today, a chance for an extended set up as people without jobs come to the show. However, Emma Vieceli is in her tiara, Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood are in their waistcoats, Harry Markos is trying not to get thrown…
Terry Gilliam’s The Damnation Of Faust To Screen On BBC4
I can’t overstate the brilliance of Terry Gilliam‘s opera directing debut, the (currently ongoing, soon to end) ENO production of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust, without making claims that it can heal the lame and give sight to the blind. When I pulled myself together after first seeing it, the next thing I did was purchase…

WATCH: Terry Gilliam’s New Filmette, The Wholly Family
The full video of Terry Gilliam’s The Wholly Family is available online for streaming. Even compressed like this, the quality of the images really shines through. The film, if you don’t recall, was written and directed by Gilliam and funded by sponsorship from an Italian pasta company, Garofalo. It’s in the Italian-language section of their…

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…
