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…

More Judge Dredd Images – Including First Look At Judge Anderson
The latest issue of Empire Magazine has a big Dredd head on the cover, and inside, our first look at Olivia Thirlby in the guise of Psi Judge Anderson. Or at least, that’s how the cover looks on the copies mailed to subscribers. Any non-sub covers have yet to appear, so there’s a chance that…
Chew XXX: A Porn Parody?
You find yourself in all sorts of conversations at San Diego Comic Con. Last night I was introduced by Tony Lee to adult movie actor Evan Stone and the posse of Exxxquisite Films, one of the companies currently enjoying success creating “porn parody” versions of popular comic books-turned-movies-and-TV-shows. I’m in two minds about such productions….
Alan Moore: Storyteller – Review By Greg Baldino
Greg Baldino writes for Bleeding Cool. Alan Moore upsets people. Emotionally, it’s usually their own choice. People get upset that his work in the 1980s made comics “dark,” “serious,” and “not fun anymore.” There are comics readers who find him pretentious, arrogant, and boisterous; elevating an entertainment form onto an artistic pedestal at the expense…
Comic-Con Trailer For The Last Airbender: The Legend Of Korra
Action packed, handsomely designed and very nicely coloured, the first trailer for The Last Airbender’s sequel series, The Legend of Korra, is bound to whip up some real fan interest. But then again, so would a new Last Airbender exercise video, cookery show or How To Do The Hucklebuck tutorial, as long as it was…
Sunday Trending Topics: Marvel Assembly, DC Design
Interesting coincidence that today’s top two posts are both about character design. On the comic side we have copious amounts of artwork from DC’s Designing the New DCU 52 Panel, on the tv/film side we finally have all the pieces of the Avengers film character concepts put together into one giant Assembly of Avengers. Most-Read…
Animated Version Of Dark Knight Returns Heads Up DC Toon Movies For 2012
All Star Superman and Year One have made 2011 an incredible year for DC Universe Animated Movies, and it might prove tricky for 2012 to not seem like a bit of a slump. Time to bring out the big guns, then. And, you know, some sort of normal sized guns too. At a Warner Animation…
US Poster For Aardman’s Pirates!
The US title for Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists is Pirates! Band of Misfits, presumably because the Americans in charge of the marketing campaign think that the other Americans inthe audience are stupid and won’t watch anything with the word Scientists in the title.* *Not me. I’m not an anti-American. In fact, I’m married…
Karen Gillan Confirms Definitively If She’s Coming Back For Next Year’s Doctor Who Or Not
I’ve been heartened by the response to Doctor Who at this year’s Comic-Con, with multiple crammed panels, including a Hall H session that was bursting at the seams. Between these bigger engagements, Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and co. have caught a few moments with the press. It’s from one of these tiny, short bursts of…
The Amazing Spider-Man Poster, Not Quite As Seen At Comic-Con
This online poster for The Amazing Spider-Man is not quite the same as the one hanging on the side of the Hard Rock Hotel here in San Diego. Is there any significance to the difference in details? Not that I see. Will people still nerd off on it? Yes, some will.
The Doctor Who Panel At San Diego Comic Con With Tiny Timey Wimey Spoilers
Bleeding Cool showed you the new Doctor Who trailer earlier today. But that was just the half of the Doctor Who panel at San Diego. Peter Svensson writes; Clips from future episodes were shown at the final day of Comic Con, giving glimpses of the second half of season six. Stars Matt Smith and Karen…
Lots Of Art From DC’s Designing The New DCU 52 Panel
Some fascinating behind-the-scenes stuff here: During today’s Designing the New DCU 52 panel at SDCC, attendees were invited to see how characters are designed to how they end up looking in the final pages of a comic book. Below, take a look at the art we showed during this presentation for such titles as ALL-STAR…

Event fatigue seems to be setting for Dan DiDio who is reaching manic levels on the podium right now, but he thinks people on the flor are feeling better and better about the DC Relaunch. The Flash #1 will put you in the head of Barry Allen, to show you not only how he moves,…

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…
