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.

Two Kids And Their Slightly Biased Dad Review Cars 2 For Us
Dominic Frisby is an actor, writer, comedian and voice over artist. It was in the last of these guises that he played a part in children’s TV show Roary the Racing Car, giving voice to some stop-motion animated automobiles. He has, then, an inherent bias in reviewing Cars 2. I wouldn’t go so far as…
Wondercon Moving To Anaheim, Home Of The Mouse And The Ducks
Back in June, Bleeding Cool reported that next year’s Wondercon was without a venue, as San Francisco’s Moscone Center was going through reconstruction around the usual WonderCon date. And that they were looking for another venue. Chuck Rozanski of Mile High Comics sent his mailing list a note about a rumoured move to Anaheim in…
The JMS Colleen Doran Wonder Woman We Never Saw
Colleen Doran writes “some time ago, J Michael Straczynski approached me about developing a new look for Wonder Woman for a possible, more fantasy-oriented version of the comic series. Obviously, this did not happen. But JMS gave me permission to post the sketches.” The colour piece is currently on eBay.

Wednesday Comics Review: Captain America 1 And Project Superman 2
Two origin stories. Both familiar characters. Both portrayed as young boys being used by the American government to fight their wars. In Captain America And Bucky… well scrap the beginning of that title. This is Bucky Year One, in a number of ways. It’s the origin of the character, both in mind and in body,…
The Day Kitty Pryde Pwned President Ahmadinejad
Okay, so, minor spoilers for X-Men Schism #2 out today. But I thought this one was worth celebrating. As we saw in X-Men Schism #1, the world has been prompted into restoring and reviving its Sentinel programmes, giant robots dedicated to destroying mutants, funded by Hellfire Club Black King, Sebastian Shaw. And Iran has revived…
Exclusive Interview With Seth Gordon, Director Of Horrible Bosses and The King of Kong
If you haven’t yet worked for a boss you hate so much that you want to repeatedly slam their head in a filing cabinet, then you should go and see Horrible Bosses anyway just so you can realise how lucky you are. The film is a dark comedy following the exploits of Dale (Charlie Day),…
Simon Pegg To Star In A Fantastic Fear Of Everything… And Jump Start A Bona Fide UK Film Studio?
It’s been shooting for two and a half weeks, and now we know what it is, what it’s about and who is behind it. Simon Pegg’s current project is a UK-set picture called A Fantastic Fear of Everything. For some reason, its producers are describing it as a “psycho-comedy”. The official plot blurb is a…

Tuesday Trending Topics: Marvel Commits A Foul To Start The Second Half
We’re officially in the second half of the comic book year with Comic Con behind us, and our first major bit of post-Comic Con comic news is interesting – because it’s not easy to see Marvel’s upside on this one. Widely panned the first time, it at least had the idea that it was a…
Kick Ass 2 To Come Out Every Six Weeks. Honest.
Mark Millar and John Romita Jr’s sequel to their Marvel comic Kick Ass has been plagued with delay, rather, which Millar has attributed to John Romita Jr having to prioritise company-owned Marvel work as part of his contract with the publisher. However he tweeted today a committment to a Kick Ass 2 schedule in coming…
President Obama Appears On The Cover Of Amazing Spider-Man 666. And He’s Not Alone
At the San Diego Comic Con, David Gabriel from Marvel said that they had had to remove a Sarah Palin appearance from one of the one hundred and fifty Amazing Spider-Man #666 Retailer variants (see them all here). But looking at the variant commissioned by Larry’s Comics, someone else seems to have slipped through… Let’s…

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…
