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…

Full Love Is The Drug Scene From Sucker Punch Director’s Cut
I assume the extended edition of Sucker Punch, out now on disc in the US, coming to the UK on August 8, is Zack Snyder‘s director’s cut. He definitely reflected positively on it when I spoke to him a couple of months back. One of the scenes you’ll find on that disc is the full…
Monday Runaround – Gotham Car Chase
This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on. They say I am a work in progress. The fools. Eye on Comics » Blog Archive » The Proofreading Isn’t In…
Tom Hanks On Toy Story 4 – “They’re Working On It Now”
Here’s a real bombshell. What makes it particularly stunning is the way Tom Hanks just tossed it over his shoulder like a banana peel. Hanks appeared on the BBC’s Breakfast News this morning in an interview to support the release of his new feature Larry Crowne, out here on the 7th of July. It appears that…
Sunday Trending Topics: The Justice League Tumbles Into The Open
Today is a perfect example of why I’m loving the build-up to the new DC: it’s the wonderfully unprogrammed way the information has unspooled out onto the internet. You never know when some new tidbit is going to surface in some corner of the world. Often in this corner, and sometimes in some unexpected place…
And Finally… Neil Gaiman Tweets His Phone And Room Numbers
So American Gods 2 is going to look at the deification of social networking, and something a bit like Twitter. I wonder if it will include a scene in which Shadow tweets his phone number and hotel room number. You know, like Neil Gaiman just did. As he says. UPDATE: Guys, and more importantly, gals?…
Dexter, The Motion Comic
It’s still too far away from the next series of Dexter from Showtime, showing in the UK on FX. So until then, here’s a look back at the motion comic/limited animation/thing that Showtime created two series of, written by Lauren Gussis featuring big name comics artists of a certain type, including Kyle Baker, Bill Sienkiewicz,…
Another Cowboys & Aliens Trailer
Looking at the various Cowboys & Aliens trailers, I’m pleased every time I see one of the “cowboy” characters fighting back in a “cowboy way”, because the big plot conceit of giving an alien artifact to our hero is a potentially worrying one. I don’t want to see the good guys win by default, because…
Dining With DiDio, Corruption At Marvel And Creating Transformers With Jim Shooter
JIm Shooter has been running his blog for months now, telling behind the scenes takes of his time as Editor-In-Chief. And fascinating stuff it is. And over the last few weeks, he’s given us some belters. Now, it behooves me to state that when talking with other industry types, including those who have held positions…
Look! More Gandalf, More Bilbo
Another image each of The Hobbit‘s Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey adorn the cover on the new Empire magazine. Note also the proud declaration that Empire were the “first magazine on set.” First? Looks like some internet diseases are mutating and spreading to the print world too. The first images were slightly less cluttered…
Torchwood: Miracle Day To Feature Different Scenes In UK And US
No, there’s no need to “PANIC!!”, but here’s what Tom Spilsbury, editor of Doctor Who magazine and (apparent) social media provocateur tweeted earlier in the week: Interesting that US Torchwood will have bits UK won’t & UK Torchwood will have bits that US won’t. So which is the ‘proper’ version? PANIC!! And why? He has since…
Tintin Toys Ahoy
Plastoy will be releasing some Tintin action figures in France – ie. where they’ll sell by the bucketload. There’s Tintin on a motorbike, Tintin with two guns, Captain Haddock with a gun and a sword, and Snowy with a really big bone (I’ve seen 2001, I know a bone is a weapon too). I guess…
Green Lantern 2 Still On Track
It’s been a long time since Warner Bros. first sunk a healthy chunk of cash into a Green Lantern sequel, appointing Michael Goldenberg to draw up a screenplay. If you count the sequel clauses woven into the actors’ contacts, you could date the first spend even earlier. I would have expected, however, that the first…

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…
