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…

India Ink: A Billion Reasons To Publish Comics
Mayank Khurana writes for Bleeding Cool; Hi folks, welcome back to another edition of India Ink, a semi regular column where we talk about the Indian comic scene. As people who have been following this column know, there used to be a huge indigenous culture of comics in the 80’s in India that slowly waned…
JK Rowling’s Pottermore Revealed – Full Details UPDATE
As I type, the big press launch for JK Rowling’s Pottermore is underway. For a week now (yes – a whole week), Potter fans have been scratching their heads, wondering what this curious new project would be. Would it be new books? New films? Something altogether less interesting given artificial appeal and mystique from all…
Brendon McCarthy’s Cover To Reboot Forever
Beach Creative Studios are putting out a second ReBoot Artbook following their The Art of ReBoot in 2007. And here’s the first look at ReBoot co-creator Brendon McCarthy’s cover. The book contains concept art from McCarthy and other Mainframe artists, and a sizeable pin-up section. The book will debut at Fan Expo Canada in August,…
Thursday Runaround – All Class
TweetWatch: “Rich Johnston is all class, if that class is Douchebaggery 101.” – David Uzumeri of Comics Alliance. ClassWatch: If Viacom buys Dark Horse this morning (ET), or if DC cancels a comic over a monkey, I won’t be there, I’ll be teaching comic books and cartooning at my local junior school for an afternoon….

Wednesday Trending Topics: I Suppose This Means Streaky Will Not Be In The DC Relaunch
Poor Streaky. There’s nothing corny or over the top about a cape-wearing cat with a lightning bolt on its side in the context of the DCU. Everybody likes pets, superpets, and Legions thereof. The internet was practically built on ‘em. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Superman #712 Not Changed Over Muslim Content. But Over Kitten Content….
Emma Stone To Star In Pride And Prejudice And Zombies? No
Craig Gillespie has found his Elizabeth Bennet, and I approve. According to Variety, Emma Stone will be lacing up for the lead role in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. We’ve seen Ms. Stone offing the undead before, in Zombieland, but Regency corsets will be a new look – and I can’t wait to hear her…

Jimmy Kimmel And The Hollywood Superheroes
Here’s the cosplay cover and splash from the new Hollywood Reporter, including this rather telling line from the Green Lantern premiere that Jimmy attended. “Not geeking out was Warners head Jeff Robinov, who said he didn’t follow comics as a kid but got into them for his job.”
Fifteen Hundred Tickets For San Diego Comic Con Still To Be Sold
Maybe their car was eaten by a shark. Maybe they have to go to a wedding in New Zealand, grinding their teeth through the ceremony. Whatever the reason, one thousand five hundred four-day tickets for the San Diego Comic Con 2011 have been returned by their purchasers for a refund. And now, with probably a…
Walking Dead Series 2: Behind The Scenes Promo Video, New Casting
Our first official peek behind the scenes of Walking Dead series 2 has been issued through AMC’s official blog. Of course, they’ve made it region locked, so I had to go to YouTube to see it. No real surprises there. But they are shooting again; they’ll be back before we know it. Meanwhile, TV Line…
Official Poster For Pixar’s Brave (And What’s This About John Carter Of Mars?)
Everything I said earlier still stands, we’ve just now got a nice, high quality version of the poster direct from Disney. The attached press information credits Brave director Mark Andrews as being a writer on John Carter of Mars. Not just John Carter. All change again? Makes sense of the M-glyph, anyway. I’ll ask Disney…

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…
