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…

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…

Friday Trending Topics: Gene Colan
Influential artist Gene Colan died Thursday night. Much of the talk around the industry today was about remembering him, his work, and what it means to us. I found myself wishing, as I have on a couple previous of these occasions, that I’d done more to let people know how important the person has been to comics…
And Finally – You Would Be —?!?!? (UPDATE)
You might have missed out a name, intending to check it and fix it later, only you forgot and it went to print in Batman: Gates Of Gotham #2 that came out this week….. would you not? UPDATE: Scott Snyder writes “It’s just plain old Alan Wayne. Typo on my part most likely.”
Kirk Vs. Kirk – Shatner And Pine Arm Wrestle
Rich seems to have taken to ending each day’s posting with something a bit lighter, a relative “skateboarding dog”, if you will. Okay. I can do that. So here’s a picture of William Shatner and Chris Pine, the two Captain Kirks, arm wrestling. This great moment in history comes from a new documentary that Shatner…
New Apollo 18 Trailer Shows Less, Impresses More
There’s been some overhauling of Apollo 18, a “Paranormal Activity in space” picture that those funny Weinstein boys have been pushing back and forth across the calendar. Perhaps the need for repairs is implicit in the strange phenomenon of a second trailer coming along that is vaguer and more oblique than the first. The film was…
Can You Draw Planes? How’s Your French?
A major French comic book series is in need of an artist. Tanguy And Laverdure is the most famous aviation comics series in France.It was created by Jean-Michel Charlier and Asterix‘s Albert Uderzo Asterix, and later drawn by and Jijé, the man who taught Moebius. So, you know, no pressure. It has generated a TV…
The Green Album Is Coming, Stuffed With Muppet Cover Versions
Go to Amazon, say, and search for The Green Album and you’ll find Weezer’s 2001 CD, the one I always thought was called just Weezer (okay, one of the ones I thought was just called Weezer). Apparently, though, that’s not its popular handle. Like The White Album and The Black Album before it, the colour…
I Ain’t Afraid Of No Glows – The Ghostbusters Glow-In-The-Dark Comic
Does busting make you feel good. In that case, September is your month, We’ve had some minis and some one shots and now IDW are committing to a full blown monthly Ghostbusters comic by Erik Burham and Dan Schoening with covers by Nick Runge. Each issue will contain two pages of extras as back matter…
Okay, Scratch That – No Emma Stone In Pride And Prejudice And Zombies
Just a quick update to tell you that previous reports were, to say the least, exaggerated. Emma Stone did receive an offer to appear in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but she said no. Fear of typecasting? Fear of the English accent? Schedule clash? Or maybe the script didn’t meet her approval? Could be anything,…
Spy Kids 4 To Screen In Aromascope Smellovision
Robert Rodriguez‘ upcoming Spy Kids seqboot, All The Time in the World, has a real stench about it. Or, rather, several fake stenches. It’s really carny stuff. As well as seeing the film projected in 3D, viewers will also have a scratch-n-sniff card to use when cued by the movie. So at least that marketing…
No Such Word As Superhero – DC’s Retailer Roadshow Hits Baltimore – Collectors Cornered #2
Randy Myers of Collectors Corner in Baltimore writes for Bleeding Cool; This Issue of Collectors Cornered will focus on the DC Comics Road Show in Baltimore, Maryland. I (Randy – Owner) attended the roadshow with my store manager Dave in tow, we talked about what it might be like cynically on the way to the…

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…
