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…

Bleeding Cool gave you a couple of seconds last time. Now you’re going to get half a minute. UPDATE – Gone now. Hope you caught it in time… UPDATE x2 – And now it’s back.
Lawrence Bender On Countdown To Zero And The Threat Of Global Nuclear Annihilation
Last week I had a chat with Lawrence Bender, esteemed movie producer and Pulp Fiction‘s Long Haired Hippie Scum. Because we were talking about the possibility of total global nuclear annihilation, some of our conversation got a bit serious. Nonetheless, we tried to talk about the positives. Bender’s new documentary, Countdown to Zero, is about…
New Poster For Captain America
Art class 101: put your subject in profile to lend them some authority. Bash the stars and stripes up in the background for a quick shot of patriotism. Use George Hamilton skin tones to suggest toughness, moodiness, a long time spent whupping Hydra minions in direct sunlight. A new trailer will be along later. Watch…
Ten Questions With Christos Gage
Keith Davidsen of Avatar Press, talks to Christos Gage; KD: The foundation for the AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE series came from the CIVIL WAR storyline, and during your tenure on the series, it tied heavily into other “big event” storylines like SECRET INVASION, DARK REIGN, and SIEGE. How did you find balance between telling your story…

Here are three exclusive editions of comics being sold by Dave Elliott at San Diego Comic Con 2011. First up there’s the Heavy Metal September issue, where the creators of Imaginary Friends Studio are filling the entire issue with their creations.

Four Character Images From Pixars Brave (And Sort Of A Fifth)- UPDATED
Here are four of the characters from Pixar’s Brave: Princess Merida, Queen Elinor, The Wise Woman and Lord MacIntosh. They will be voiced by Kelly MacDonald, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters and Craig Ferguson respectively. UPDATE: Images removed at request of Pixar. Wow. Great. And here, I think is a fifth character. This is The Bear,…
Look! Martin Freeman Is The Hobbit In The First Official Images
Martin Freeman is, finally, Bilbo Baggins and Ian McKellen is, once again, Gandalf the Grey. These two stills come from Entertainment Weekly, who also have a behind-the-scenes snap of Peter Jackson giving Freeman some direction. It’s no surprise that these images mesh so nicely with the look of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy,…
Review: The First Grader
Ed Whitfield writes for Bleeding Cool: As an imperialist I’m often asked the question, ‘Ed, don’t you feel guilty about being an apologist for crimes against humanity, degrading and inhuman treatment, and the rape and exploitation of indigenous peoples by those acting in your name?’ to which I tend to reply, ‘it’s always a half…
The Hunt For DC’s October (UPDATED)
So Dan DiDio is looking for around 80 comics every month from DC. Well we know the first 52. There are around ten or eleven monthly Vertigo titles and six kids books. Which gives us around twelve more books to be accounted for every month. What might they be? Here are some possibilities; 1. Batman…
Martin Kemp Is A Werewolf, He’s Going To Be Vs. Strippers
This poster’s treatment for Strippers vs. Werewolves is a little bit Sucker Punch, don’t you think? I can’t imagine that the films will be at all alike, however. That’s Ali Bastian with the shotgun, Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet with the hairy palms, and something like the Dark Castle Entertainment logo providing the backdrop. I’m…
Swipe File: Fantastic Four Annual 4 Vs Giant-Size Avengers 1
Remember those scenes where we saw Disney artists using animation from previous Disney films to save time and money on new ones? Well, this is an interesting one. From Fantastic Four Annual #4 drawn by Jack Kirby, published in 1966. From the later Giant-Size Avengers #1 drawn by Rich Buckler, published in 1974. From Fantastic…
Win! See Cars 2 In London, This Sunday, On Us
Cars 2 hits US cinemas this weekend, but the UK roll-out is still a few weeks off, on July 22nd. We can put you in the fast lane, however, as we’ve got tickets to a screening this Sunday morning in Central London – and we want to give them to you. There are four ways…

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…
