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…

Where To Score The Best Deals On DC’s New 52?
There are those of you who have viewed the DC New 52 books with envy and suspicion. Which will be the break out books? Which will sell lot hot cakes and which will be left unmourned and unloved on ths shelves. Which is Anatomy Lesson, which is Rise Of Arsenal? And how much will it…
The Typos That Bind
Bleeding Cool does a fine line in typos. Fresh every day, delivered in time for breakfast, you can always rely on us for your regular “Collen Doran”, a “Kity Pryd” or “Bill Sinkyvitch”. And Marvel’s Siege series last year was always a challenge. Up there with Rogue and Isaac Perlmutter. So we’re glad to see…
Fifteen San Diego Comic Con Panels And The Eisners In Audio…
Thanks to Jamie Colville and his mighty recording devices, we have fifteen panels from the San Diego Comic Con in audio, as well as the Eisner Awards. It’s just like being there if you close you eyes. And queue up at the computer for an hour. And have a large bag digging into your shoulder….
Batman Live! – The Khandie Khisses Review
Khandie Khisses writes, dances and lives for Bleeding Cool. We sent her and Bleeding Cool reporter Ben Mortimer on a date to Batman Live! last weekend. We ran Ben’s report last week. Now here comes Khandie’s… I am a Batman fan in as much as I love Christian Bale in that rubbery suit. So the…
Five League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 1969 References That Made Me Smile
The new issue of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century came out last week, and as the team reach 1969, we see the continual plans of Oliver Haddo, analogy for Aleister Crowley as he continues his lives, now using a fictional equivalent of the Rolling Stones and their performance in Hyde Park, here named after Mr…
The Walking Dead Rushes Special
It’s hard to get a bead on what’s really being going on behind the scenes at The Walking Dead, but there’s been a few appointments and disappointments to note. Firstly, Frank Darabont has stepped down as showrunner. Except maybe he hasn’t. Maybe he didn’t step down, but was stepped down. It’s not necessarily a question…
Michael Caine Video Interview – And An Appropriate Video Mash-Up
Here’s a video of Michael Caine and I discussing Cars 2, his shooting on The Dark Knight Rises and the weather in LA. My first couple of questions were quite tongue in cheek, but Michael’s answers are still interesting and worthwhile, and by the end, we’d gotten into to full, comfortable chat mode. Shame these…
Sunday Runaround – SingAlongAMorrison
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. Why Jim Lee Can’t Reveal His True Character in DC Universe…
Saturday Trending Topics: Vengeance Of Bane
The internet got another look at Tom Hardy as Bane today, in both pics and video. And while it’s tough to tell too much from what we’ve seen without more context, optimism remains high that Nolan+Batman=Good. Will the character make a cinematic comeback after his widely-panned depiction in 1997′s Batman and Robin? I wouldn’t bet…

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…
