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.

More Promo Pics For The Avengers
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this story is three thousand and fifty two words long, including the headline. I found the images at Spider Media, and while the Loki one looked familiar, I couldn’t track it down. Maybe I’m just being forgetful.
Watch: The Consultant, A SHIELD Short Film From Marvel
Anton Volkov, the man who seemed determined to leak all the Tron he could, is back, and this time, he’s leaking Marvel mini-movies. I still think he’s a Disney plant – don’t see him leaking anybody else’s stuff, do we? Here’s the first Agent Coulson short, The Consultant, in full. You’ll be able to get…
If Paul Anderson’s Three Musketeers Movie Looks Too Classy, Then How About This One…
Paul Anderson‘s upcoming, 3D take on The Three Musketeers has already drawn a lot of criticism from fans of Alexandre Dumas‘ novel for being loaded with clanging anachronisms, goofball action beats and hysterical infidelities. Well, wait ’til these fans get a load of this one. Here’s a newly minted trailer for The Asylum’s 3 Musketeers….

Wednesday Comics Review: Secret Avengers 16
Once upon a time, there was a pub in London. And it, a bunch of people on the Warren Ellis Forum went for a drink after a Warren Ellis signing. And then kept going for drinks, most weeks. One of those people was Jamie McKelvie. Others were Kieron Gillen and Antony Johnston. Today, Secret Avengers…
Look! Christopher Lloyd Is Doc Brown Again For Some New Commercials
Christopher Lloyd has now played Doctor Emmet Brown in the three Back to the Future feature films, one theme park ride, a five-part videogame and some commercials for an Argentinian electricals store. Anything I’m missing from that list? Maybe a Saturday Night Live sketch or something? Robot Chicken? Here is the main commercial for the…
Differences In Justice League #1 Between Print And Digital
Well, we can at least confirm that the pirated copy of Justice League #1 was from a pre-sale copy of the printed comic rather than an early ComiXology digital file. Indeed, rather than going up two hours before print sale, the pirated copy seems to have gone up six hours before… Anyway, we know because…
Keep Your Pants On: The Pros And Cons Of Having A FWB
Kate Kotler and Elliott Serrano write for Bleeding Cool; This week we navigate the tricky waters which surround having a true “friends with benefits” relationship with another person. For those of you who don’t know this phrase (and are living under a rock), a “friends with benefits” or “FWB” is a friendship with intimate privileges,…

By now both Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1 have been pored over by hundreds of thousands of eyes. But did we all miss something? Take this scene from Justice League #1 written by Geoff Johns. Who’s that in the corner? Let’s have a close up. She looks a little familiar. Let’s check back on…
Marvel To Cancel Herc With Issue Ten
Those of you who picked up Herc #6 Point One today, hoping to get an insight into the series with an eye to picking it up regularly may have a diappointment ahead. According to Marvel Previews released today (and not mentioned on the previously solicits released online) Herc #10 in November will be the title’s…
Paul Dano Beats Out Shia LaBeouf For Role In College Republicans
Somewhere in this story is the potential for a brilliant joke about Paul Dano drinking Shia LaBeouf‘s milkshake, but I’ll be damned if I can articulate it in a clever way. Wes Jones‘ script about the young life of Republican politician Karl Rove has been hot property for a while, and it was rumoured at…

By Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Fernando Dagninio, courtesy of Spanish agent David Macho Gomez, comes this video preview of Resurrecction Man #1, part of the DC Relaunch…

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…
