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…

I sent Peter Svensson to the Legendary Pictures panel at Comic-Con today, that he might report on it for Bleeding Cool. Here’s what he sent back: Legendary Pictures Teases Giant Robots, Jeff Bridges, Satan and Mass Effect. Legendary Pictures held their pre-production panel on Friday, focusing on four upcoming genre films that while announced, have…
Friday Trending Topics: Marvel Reboot
Interesting news day today. Despite a steady stream of DC New 52 (and good to see everyone finally on the same page as to what to call that, incidentally) news, Marvel took the day with Rich’s con bar tip on the Incredible Hulk #1. As DC saw last month, sometimes you just can’t plan the…
New Muppets Poster Features Sam The Eagle As The First Avenger
Now here’s a hero that I’d trust to punch Hitler in the face in the name of freedom and democracy. The Muppets have had a blast throwing out parody trailers out before finally unveiling the real one, and it seems that they’re on a similar mission with their posters. Here we see Sam the Eagle,…
Conan O’Brien Crashes Green Lantern Animated Panel To Debut New Flaming C Trailer
Pretty nifty trailer for a throwaway gag. Gotta figure they really are trying to build towards something with it. BURBANK, Calif. (July 22, 2011 • 2:50 p.m. PT) — Vengeance just got hotter, and so did Comic-Con 2011, as TBS talk show host Conan O’Brien made his first-ever appearance at the world’s largest pop culture…

The Amazing Spider-Man’s Lizard Revealed: Big, Green, 3D
Some 3D Amazing Spider-Man footage has just played in Hall H, revealing Curt Connors and his transformation into The Lizard. A few shots at the end revealed his creature look in full detail. My impressions: great FX. Humanoid face, no long lizard snout. Big. Muscly. Probably about ten feet tall. Body not quite symmetrical. Long…
Marc Webb Suggests The Amazing Spider-Man Tells The Gwen Stacy Story
The Spider-Man panel at Comic-Con’s Hall H is underway. Marc Webb has said that he thought the Gwen Stacy saga would make for a good feature film, and so he aimed to do so. So… does that mean she has to die?

Spielberg Confirms That Jurassic Park 4 Is In The Works
I wasn’t at the Tintin panel this morning because it clashed with Locke & Key and I had to make a call. I think I made the right one. However, the word around Comic Con is clear: Spielberg announced that Jurassic Park 4 is definitely in the works, likely to hit in 2013 or 2014…
Impressions Of Total Recall Footage And Pre-Vis Played In Hall H
Though Total Recall has a long way to go, and is estimated to be just half way through production, Len Wiseman and Sony have brought a sequence along to Comic-Con. Apparently comprised of the first footage shot, the scene shows what happens when our protagonist Douglas Quaid, as played by Colin Farrell, goes to Recall…
Your First Look At An Amazing Spider-Man #666 Retailer Cover
Over 15o comic book retailers participated in an Amazing Spider-Man #666 promotion to have their store featured on the cover of a specially select print run of the comic in question, out next week.

Idris Elba On What It Will Take For Him To Play Luke Cage
Asked during the ongoing Comic-Con Hall H audience q&a for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance which comic book character he might like to play, Idris Elba turned to the crowds, adopted a deep tone and said “Luke Cage.” Going into more detail, Elba said “we just need to know that you want that.” Does this…

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…
