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 X-Men Get Into Social Media, And If You Join Them, You Could Win A Screening
The X-Men are using Facebook and Twitter. I’m not sure what the upshot of their twittering will be about, but there’s only one way to find out – take part. It seems that supporters of Charles Xavier are tweeting “Killing will not bring you peace #CharlesXavier” , while those who favour the more militant approach…
Thursday Trending Topics: Hello, Mogo
Speaking of Green Lantern marketing, as we were just yesterday, I must say I’m almost disappointed to see that Verizon, Google, or someone of that nature hasn’t really gone for it with GL licensing and renamed something like 4G network or social service Mogo. I say almost because of course the creators might disagree. But…
Fifty-Two Marvel And DC T-Shirts For Stoners
Junk Food have a bunch of retro-styled superhero T-shirts, whether that being retro from the sixties or the ninetiies. Pre-faded, oddly juxtaposed images and sentences, here are our top five… 1. The Stoner T-Shirt of choice. Because nothing looks cooler than passing a toke while wearing such irony upon one’s chest. Extra points if you…
First Image Of Merida From Pixar’s Brave
Here she is, in all her glory – the heroine of Pixar’s first female-led narrative, the Scotland-set folktale, Brave. This is the Princess Merida, as voiced by Kelly MacDonald. Disney Pixar France also provided this wider-framed version of the image. And here’s a concept art rendition of much the same thing: If you recall, the…
Squirrel Girl Gets A HeroClix Figure
Apparently there have been petitions. Well, it appears they have been successful. HeroClix is to make a Squirrel Girl figure for people to, well, click with.
Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Book Deathtrap Dungeon To Become “Saw Meets Gladiator” Movie
I think my personal favourite of the Fighting Fantasy series of Choose Your Own Adventure books was The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, though possibly because it was the first, and I was quite impatient, as a child. I was still playing by the time Deathtrap Dungeon came along, but I think it was pretty much…
Watch: Mamoru Oshii’s Short Film Adaptation Of Cyborg 009
The Ghost in the Shell‘s Mamoru Oshii has completed a short film adaptation of Cyborg 009, Shotaro Ishinomori‘s manga series that made it to the west via Tokypop. The film appears to have been produced for 3D screening (perhaps some kind of Panasonic promo?), but the online version is only 2D. The stereo facilities on…
First Happy Feet Two Teaser Doesn’t Make It Seem As Weird As Part One (Yet)
I’m not spoiling George Miller‘s Happy Feet for you here, but I’ll tell you this:boy, I didn’t see that coming. Could the second installment possibly be so off-the-wall? This first teaser doesn’t even seem to hint at the oddity that gripped the second half of part one, and that’s even with the fourth-wall bursting pay…
Albert Hughes Ditches Akira, David O. Russell Ditches Uncharted
Both the live-action incarnation of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira and big screen Uncharted movie have hit speed bumps at full force, spilling their directors in the process. It seems like Albert Hughes has been off of Akira for some time. Deadline reported “it is an amicable creative differences parting of the ways” but it was up to…
Crossed: Wish You Were Here – A New Avatar Webcomic From Si Spurrier And Javier Barreno
Avatar are to launch a new weekly webcomic in October, based on Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows’ Crossed. Crossed: Wish You Were Here by Si Spurrier (Gutsville, X-Men) and Javier Barreno (Crossed Family Values) will be announced at Phoenix Comic Con and the new website hosting the free weekly Crossed episodes will be at www.crossedcomic.com….
First Look At The Pinocchio Puppet From Gris Grimly And Guillermo Del Toro
Produced by The Jim Henson Company and Guillermo Del Toro, the next movie version of Pinocchio has some serious geek credentials right out of the gate. I also expect that it will make something of a fan hero out of its director, Gris Grimly, building on the love already earnt with his wonderful books. One…
First Image From David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis
Here it is, the first image from the long awaited new movie by David Cronenberg, his adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel Cosmopolis. It was taken by his daughter Caitlin, an accomplished photographer, and features Robert Pattinson and Sarah Gadon. Here’s how I described the project previously: The story, unravelling in the course of a single day,…

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…
