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…

Next Year’s Eisners #1: One Soul by Ray Fawkes
As well as attending panels, gladhanding and falling off barstools at San Diego Comic Con, I’ve also been reading comics. Here’s a book that has made a real impression so far this show, making its debut at the Oni booth. And if its not nominated in next year’s Eisners then I’ll be rather surprised. One…
A Mystery Fanboy Unmasked At The Amazing Spider-Man Panel (Video)
Bleeding Cool told you a bit about the Amazing Spider-Man panel at Comic Con yesterday, including a description of the Lizard, but we didn’t discuss this little surprise… until now: And this seems as good a place as any to post that Amazing Spider-Man teaser poster they’ve been handing out there too:
Ridley Scott Talks About PROMETHEUS At Comic Con (Video)
As noted by Brendon yesterday, the Prometheus panel included a talk with Ridley Scott via satellite from Iceland. What did he have to say? Let’s roll the tape…
55 Stories From San Diego Comic Con Day 2 In One Post
San Diego Two In One! Or something like that. Panels from Marvel, DC, Image, and quite a lot more. But if you missed some of the fun yesterday and want a quick catch-up, here’s the place to start: Scott Lobdell Talks Michael Turner’s Homecoming Ten years after her abduction by aliens, a seventeen year old…
38 Minutes Of Video From The Walking Dead Panel
Frank Darabont, Robert Kirkman, and several actors from the series discussed all things The Walking Dead in San Diego yesterday, and as Brendon told you earlier, debuted a trailer for season 2. What else did they talk about? Let’s find out, courtesy of youtube poster magicinthenumbers:
40 Minutes Of Video From George R.R. Martin’s GAME OF THRONES Panel
Hot off the first season of Game Of Thrones on HBO, George R.R. Martin is one of the big draws at San Diego this year — we’ve been fortunate to have him signing his Fevre Dream graphic novel at the Avatar booth as well — and you know that lots of folks were going to…
The Art Of The Year Of The X-Men (See Also: Art Adams Is Good)
Didn’t have time to post this earlier tonite and didn’t want to let the opportunity pass — there’s some great stuff here. This is the batch of artwork released along with Marvel’s Year Of The X-Men panel today:
San Diego Comic Con DC Costume Protest To Start With A Harleypalooza
Tomorrow afternoon at San Diego Comic Con, there is going to be a protest walk over the DC relaunch, and specifically some of the costume changes therein. The different look of Harley Quinn has caused much comment from a skintight Harlequin costume to, well, basically a loose corset. Which is why Bleeding Cool understands that…
The Eisner Awards 2011
I was a bad man and didn’t make it to the Eisner Awards. I was tempted away by Girly Geek parties and the temptation of Tr!ckster. Shame, I heard Jonathan Ross and Dave Gibbons made one hell of a double act. And there were worthy, intriguing and surprising entries too… I’ll let you decide which…
Top Cat Trailer Courtesy Of Mexico
I was never sure exactly why a policeman was allowed to spend so much of his time obsessed with the affairs of a cat. Maybe this film will help clarify things a little. Thank you Mexico.
Stephen Soderbergh Didn’t Deny He Was Retiring, But “Everybody” Is Reporting He Did
This morning, at the Haywire panel, Steven Soderbergh was asked about his oft-reported intention to retire just a few more films from now. Here’s what he said: Matt Damon is apparently about as discreet as a 14-year-old girl… I had this drunken conversation with him in Chicago and four days later it was in the…
New Poster For Immortals Unveiled At Comic-Con
I’m playing catch up with this one, I think, but I do like it more than the prior Immortals promotional materials and therefore thought it was worth the thirty seconds it took me to post. I hope you think it’s worth the time to look at.

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…
