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…

Friday Runaround: Did You Write Gambit And The Champions?
ComicsInflationWatch: Von Allen finds a great comparison to make Let’s get right into it. In 2010, the US Federal Minimum Wage was $7.25 per hour. Figuring a 36 hour work week (factoring in unpaid lunches), it meant that someone working a minimum wage job was earning $261.00 per week before paying any taxes. In 2010,…
Thursday Trending Topics: Bendis vs Drudge
It’s been a banner year for mainstream coverage of comic books, and in particular, mainstream political coverage of comic books. But even in a transitional era during which many mainstream outlets still use Bam Biff Pow headlines on comic stories, it’s been interesting to see how political pundits have treated our characters as almost living…
DC’s Deadman In Development For Television At The CW
Deadline reports: With Smallville ending its 10-season run this past May, the CW has made launching a new superhero franchise based on a DC property a priority. The network’s first effort this development season is Deadman, a drama based on the DC Comics books by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino, which will be written and executive produced…
Jason Eisener Going To Blatant Violence High
At tonight’s Frightfest, we were party to the UK premiere of The Theatre Bizarre. As it was the last film of the evening, and set to finish near to 2am, there was no plan for an after film Q&A and some of the talent involved took the stage before hand to chat a little. Fantasia…
Frightfest: Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark
I’m spending the bank holiday weekend at The Empire Leicester Square for Frightfest. If all goes to plan, I’ll be filing on each of the films that I get to see across the entire schedule, and unlike so many of the other press pass holders I’m not going to be popping in just for the…
Jim Lee, Geoff Johns Morning Radio Show Blitz Beginning Tomorrow
Just as I was following some retailer discussion on twitter this afternoon about DC’s civilian outreach for the New 52, here comes word of a new aspect of DC’s marketing for the big month ahead. Will any BCers out there be listening in? I hope they take call-in questions! Leading up to the release of…
Will OMAC/Frankenstein Be The First Crossover Of DC Comics New 52?
We are aware that we won’t see any “events” in the DC New 52 books, in the way we understand them now that is, such as Blackest Night or Fear Itself. Looking at the preview art there are however a myriad of cameos of characters in other people’s books. Such as Ray Palmer, appearing in…
UK Poster And Trailer For Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive
This poster and trailer for Nicolas Winding Refn‘s new drama/thriller Drive have been out for a while now, but it’s worth posting them now simply because this definitely looks like a film to watch if you get the chance. It stars Ryan Gosling as an incomparably skilled driver called Driver who does movie stunts during…
A Rebuilt ComiXology 3.0 Launches. Go See
I remember hanging out at the Dark Horse Comics booth in C2E2, being shown the Dark Horse Comics App, and being told how it was superior to the ComiXology Comics App adopted by Marvel and DC’s own Apps for a number of reasons. But the one that stood out for me was that at the…

New Teaser Photos Emerge For Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows
Empire have kindly graced the internet with three new stills from the forthcoming sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, starring the usual suspects Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law, along with Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty and Noomi Rapace as a mysterious gypsy woman. I don’t know if Holmes and Watson should be trusting…
Flash Gordon Vs Ming… And Hitler, All For A Dollar?
Last Friday, Bleeding Cool gave you the news that Dynamite were to publish Flash Gordon comic books. Well today they made it all official with art, press releases and all that for Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist. And an Alex Ross cover that has both Ming… and Hitler. See, I’d be tempted to buy it just for…

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…
