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…

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.

DC Relaunch: Batman Vs Chip Kidd
There have been many gay comics panels held at San Diego Comic Con this year, more than ever before it seems. I’d say they were breeding, but, you know… Anyway, at one of the panels held yesterday evening at San Diego Comic Con, designer and Batmanologist Chip Kidd told the audience that he is working…
Boom! Panel Busts At San Diego Comic Con
Peter Svensson writes for Bleeding Cool; Chip Mosher, Boom’s head of marketing, was fired during their panel on Friday by CEO Ross Richie and Editor in Chief Matt Gagnon. Not really of course. It was all part of the massive joke that their panel devolved into, as a single fan’s frustration at the panel being…
Mark Millar Says That The Supercrooks Script Is Complete And Handed In
Not everything comics is happening in one giant convention centre (and neighbouring bars, hotel rooms, back alleys and bushes). Over in Scotland, where there’s probably less men in skirts than here at Comic-Con, right now, Mark Millar is making headlines. Well, headline singular. The one above. Millar tweeted this morning: This @vigalondo is Nacho Vigalondo,…
Roger Deakins And Roger Pratt On Their Cinematography (With Some Bond 23 Stuff For Newshounds)
One day in the future, scholars with far more disciplined minds than ours will answer, in a word, the reason that the two greatest British cinematographers of the late 20th and early 21st century were both called Roger, Messrs. Deakins and Pratt. And that world will be “coincidence.” The BSC* have put a pair of…
Video: Watch Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods Free Online In The US
Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods was just put on HULU. (Hat tip to my friend moonandserpent, who brought this to my attention) Here’s a bit of what Rich had to say about it when it premiered last year: But amongst the oddness, the experimentation, the life lived in one of Albert Hoffman’s petri dishes, what…
Saturday Trending Topics: 11 Letters, Ends In “Reborn”
It was another big day of news coming out of San Diego Comic Con panels, as Marvel, DC, Image, and Legendary all made major announcements for the day. Rich’s early scoop of Loeb and McGuinness on Cable Reborn was just one of the big deals of day 3. Read on… Most-Read Comic Stories Today: The…
Cowboy And Gangster: Harrison Ford To Play Wyatt Earp In Black Hats
Harrison Ford is keeping it old school, and indeed west school, for his first picture after Cowboys and Aliens. if all goes to plan he’s going to wear the illustrious mantle of legendary law keeper Wyatt Earp for a role in Black Hat. The film is adapted from Max Allan Collins “novel of Wyatt Earp…
Looney Tunes Headed To Blu-Ray
Announced at San Diego, and available for pre-order on Amazon right now, is the so-called Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume One. Several of the shorts included were part of the previous DVD sets, but not all of them, and most that were count as genuine cream-of-the-crop cartoons and I for one would like to get…
Rob Liefeld Recruits Dwight Howard To The Lakers At San Diego Comic Con
If you follow Rob Liefeld on twitter, you know he’s a big time Los Angeles Lakers fan. Looks like Rob tried to convince Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard to make a move to the Lakers when the two met at San Diego Comic Con. As a Chicago Bulls fan, since the Bulls typically don’t put…
Visualizing The Avengers: Thor, Nick Fury And Maria Hill Concept Art Revealed
Here are painted images of Thor, Nick Fury, Agent Coulson and Maria Hill as they will appear in Joss Whedon’s The Avengers next summer. The Thor look is so subtly different from his recent solo appearance that you might have to pay attention to notice all of the alterations. I know this because I had…
First Look Images Of Snow White And The Huntsman (And More) In Armour And With Swords
There are two Snow White films on the way, and one of them, Snow White and the Hunstman stars Kristen Stewart as the titular pale and not-necessarily-that-interesting victim of a stepmom’s persecution. The film was given a panel at Comic-Con’s Hall H this afternoon and unfortunately, I had dirty hair that didn’t urgently need cleaning…
Now Archie Comics Brings Us Gay Marriage
Kevin Keller is Archie Comics’ only out gay character. The fact that he exists is a major jump in thinking for the company. Then he got his first mini-series, now an ongoing comic series starring the character. Then today at the Gays In Comics panel at San Diego Comic Con, his creator Dan Parent told…

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…
