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…

Why DC Would Love You To Protest Against The DC Relaunch At San Diego Comic Con
We mentioned the anti-DC Relaunch protest march planned for San Diego Comic Con earlier this morning, but it’s been niggling at me and I think I realise why. DC Comics would love a large protest. Lots of people calling for the head of Dan DiDio. Dressed up in classic non-segmented costumes without a hint of…

Draft-Dodgers Matthew Fox And Ed Harris Bail Out Of World War Z
Nothing puts a bit of excitement into making a movie like having two actors drop out when you’ve already started filming, but as the cameras start rolling in Malta our friends at Vulture bring us some sad decasting news. World War Z, the hotly-anticipated adaptation of Max Brooks’ novel, has just lost Lost star Matthew…

When Captain America Was JD Salinger’s Son
The original* Captain America movie is getting a new DVD rerelease as part of the MGM Limited Edition Collection – by which they mean manufactured on demand, with discs burned and despatched to order. Judging from this trailer, they’ve got some fairly good source materials. Interestingly, the press release doesn’t mention director Albert Pyun anywhere….
Harry Potter’s Parseltongue Translator
This is a touch more creepy than those university courses for people wanting to learn Klingon – and let’s face facts, they were pretty darn creepy to begin with. By using the “Parseltongue Translator” on the Harry Potter movie website, you can find out how the evil serpents and Parselmouths of Potterworld would say “You…
New Spy Kids Trailer Has Fanciful Visualisations Of 3D And Aroma-Scope
It’s the last day of the month. Must be time for Yahoo to post another Spy Kids: All the Time in the World trailer. This one contains a heck of a lot more action-movie stuff than the first, and if you wait until the last third, it demonstrates both what watching a 3D film isn’t…

You can pre-order Popboy Big Beautiful Book, collating Popbot volumes 1 to 8, 400 pages, in a 500 limited edition over-oversized hardcover-in-slipcase for $125, then pick it up at the show, or…
International Poster For Captain America
If this poster tells you one more thing about Captain America: The First Avenger that you didn’t already know, I’d love to know what that thing is. I won’t accept “That it has an international poster that looks like this” as an answer. Coming Soon got the premiere.
Lord Of The Rings, Alcatraz, Person of Interest, Mortal Kombat Legacy And Smallville On Key Cards Of 36 San Diego Comic Con Hotels
Attendees at past San Diego Comic Cons have become accustomed to advertising and marketing for the show reaching them on the very keys to their hotel rooms. There really is no way to escape. But this time, Warner Bros have really gone to town, getting the promotional rights on all key cards in thirty-six hotels…

Digital Dreams – A New Name For Digital Dump
DreamTalk: Lawrence Rider writes for Bleeding Cool; Does anyone remember the great rush of comics activism at the turn of the millennium? Graphic novels were going to allow a greater diversity of work and provide more and more control to creators over their work. Graphic novels were The Way, and would steam roller all before…

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…
