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…

Marko Djurdjevic’s Message To Marvel. Two Weeks Ago.
This is a Facebook entry by Marko Djurdjevic from over two weeks ago with the accompanying photo. 5 years and it’s finally over. 2 months ago I turned in my early termination for my Marvel Exclusive contract. It’s over. No more superheroes, no more sad men in tight clothes, no more covers, at least for…
Marko Djurdjevic Gives Marvel A Slapping At Fan Expo Canada (UPDATE x2)
It was the Marvel “Team Spirit” panel at the Fan Expo convention in Canada last night. Never has a panel been less well named. According to a great panel report at CBR, illustrator and designer Marko Djurdjevic took the opportunity to lambast Marvel and their operating practices while Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting tried to…
Time Is Money In New International Trailer For In Time
Forthcoming action sci-fi In Time was written and directed by the guy who wrote The Truman Show, it stars Cillian Murphy in a villain role and it’s set in a future where time quite literally equals money, so the rich can live forever and the poor rarely live beyond the age of 25. There’s three…
A Low Res Look At Marvel Season One Original Graphic Novels
Marvel gave CBR some rather nice images from the upcoming Fantastic Four Season One OGN hardcover by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and David Marquez. Sadly, Bleeding Cool doesn’t get things like that. But that’s okay, here are some more pages that weren’t included in that. In very low res. Sorry. Even this Jamie McKelvie art from Fantastic…
That Uncanny X-Men #1 Cover Without The Silhouettes (SPOILERS)
This is the cover to Uncanny X-Men #1 as promoted by Marvel, full of silhouettes. Pretty familiar to us know, what with the quandriptych image that we pieced together last week. But, here is what that image looks like without those pesky silhouettes. Hang on. ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** That’s better. I believe…
An Extra Life On… Robin Hood, Part Two
Paul W Franklin, an extra, writes for Bleeding Cool, in a new weekly column about the life of an Extra. Or possibly not… I should make something clear now, before I delve any further into the whole-other-world of Extras, and that is this: They aren’t called Extras. Strictly speaking, they are Supporting Artistes. Yes, with…
Casting Updates For R.I.P.D. – The Role Of Ryan Reynolds Will Be Played By An Elderly Asian Man
To be honest, there have been many casting announcements for R.I.P.D trickling through that we simply haven’t reported on, mainly because there have been so many casting rumours and updates over the past few months that if we reported on them all you guys would start to think we had some kind of obsession with…
Frightfest: Final Destination 5
It’s not that Wile E. Coyote keeps getting splatted that makes the Road Runner cartoons so wonderful, it’s the comic invention and, crucially, the staging, timing and animation of the splats. And an unexpected twist or two certainly never hurts either. And so I judge the Final Destination films. Each of these pictures follows a…
Brian Says Relax
I loved watching Brian Azzarello being interviewed about his upcoming run on Wonder Woman for Comic Book Syndicate. There’s a mixture of him not really wanting to be there, combined with a desire to have a little mischief while he is. I mean I wouldn’t actually want to be the interviewer or anything but it’s…
A First Look At The Script To Flashpoint #5
Next week sees the publication of Flashpoint #5, the last DC comic before the relaunch. And I’ve managed to get my hands on the script. There’s a lot riding on this comic book. It’s the lynch-pin of the DC’s entire reboot. It’s the conclusion to a massive DC event. On its back an entire universe,…
Johnny Depp Returns As Hunter S. Thompson In This Trailer For The Rum Diary
The first person to make a “but why is the rum gone?” joke wins a prize. I’d make one but I am a serious journaliste and above such things. This is the trailer for Bruce Robinson‘s new film The Rum Diary, which is really a passion project by Johnny Depp to relive the overwhelming cult…

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…
