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.

Spotlight On Indie: Volume 1 of Neil Gibson’s Twisted Dark
It was a warm Saturday morning in London on the 9th of July 2011, and despite the early hour there were nonetheless a number of people on the tube. Students, families tourists, businessmen in suits, the usual crowd. But on this particular day those unfortunates who chose to hop onto the Piccadilly line found themselves…

Jean-Yves Ferri Named As New Writer Of Asterix
There had been plenty of speculation. Albert Udozo had even named Christopher Arleston as his succesor on the book. But today, Belgian humour writer Jean-Yves Ferri was named the new, third writer of Asterix, after his original writer Goscinny and when artist Uderzo wrote the comic. Frederick Mebarki will be providing the art. Asterix is…
American Gods Tenth Anniversary Edition – Review By Greg Baldino
Greg Baldino writes for Bleeding Cool You’ve just been released for prison to find your wife and best friend dead in a car crash.

Right To Reply: Man From Space, Is There A Fallacy In The Galaxy by Marc Jackson
Last week Kate Kotler wrote an article about her experiences with Marc Jackson. Bleeding Cool is pleased to provide Marc with a right to reply. He writes; It’s time to talk facts.

We’ve shown you the Phoenix Comics retailer variant cover from Amazing Spider-Man #666, in which comic stores have been able to buy 500-and-up print runs with their own store on the front. Well now here’s one from Comics & More in Madison Heights, MI. Indeed, this is one of the two covers that Dan Slott…
Even More Judge Dredd Images
Empire Magazine have been all over Dredd since they claimed at last year’s Movie-Con to have an exclusive on Karl Urban being cast in the film. Weeks after we reported it. An honest mistake, I’m sure, and you can’t fault them for being excited. I mean: Judge Dredd! JUDGE DREDD! Etc. Now. Don’t judge us…
Lying In The Gutters – 25th July 2011
That was the San Diego Comic Con that was. Bleeding Cool was there in full force. As in, both of us. Next year we should return with a gaggle. And maybe avoid the above happening. Thanks for that image, Frank Cho. Looks an excellent comic. So… what have you been reading about this week? As…
How Geoff Johns Saved My Life by Silke Donnelly
Silke Donnelly writes for Bleeding Cool. As expected, I had a great time at Comic-Con this year. And though I may have pushed myself a bit too hard over the five days, I managed to hold my own and get through the convention without incident. Thanks to all the amazing people I met and spent…
Full Line Up For Big Screen Announced, With My “Don’t Miss” Tips
Providing a UK response to Comic-Con, or at least the many movie-led portions of Comic-Con, the new Big Screen event seems astonishingly ambitious. Between the evening Thursday 11th of August through to Sunday 14th, the event is going to take over the majority of the former Millennium Dome for a giant program of film screenings,…
Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #108: The Captain And The Cops – Two Americas
Two pieces of pop caught my attention this week, the new CAPTAIN AMERICA movie and the shooting video game CALL OF JUAREZ: THE CARTEL. Apart from being the two major releases I watched and played, I found something they both had in common: both presented a particular vision of America. CALL OF JUAREZ: THE CARTEL…
Trending Topics Special: Who Won San Diego? The Top 50 Stories Of San Diego Comic Con
Marvel has gotten into the habit of saying they “won” major cons in recent times, and of course… that’s marketing bravado and all in good fun, but it does make me wonder if they really did. It’s impossible to determine such things without lots and lots of qualifiers. And there’s a bit of fuzziness between…

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…
