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…

Wednesday Trending Topics: It’s The End Of The World As We Know It
Definitely something in the air in the comicverse this week — finality and anticipation. DC’s done a masterful job of building up to this point, and of course… that means now they gotta live up to it. Will they? We start to find out in just one week. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Final Issue Of…
Rushes Returns – Tonight’s Movie News Mountain
That’s the cover to the Green Lantern Blu-ray. More news on the surprising addition to this release in a moment… I’m still trying to catch up on some of the small stories missed when I was ill, and it seems like good value to mix them with some off-kilter stuff, so here’s my second Rushes…
Steven Moffat Says Yes
Rogina Lewis, Doctor Who fan, has a question. Steven Moffat, Doctor Who fan, has the answer. Now… he’s already admitted he’s a liar. Can we take this answer on face value, do you think. Ahem. Doctor Who returns to our screens on Saturday with Let’s Kill Hitler.
Indie Comic Book Series The Damned To Be Turned Into TV Series By Showtime
It’s becoming increasingly fashionable in film and television now to turn to comic books when you want a new story but you don’t want to fork out for a storyboard artist. Or an original idea. But at least it’s good to see production companies delving into independent comics for their next movie or show, which…
Jim Carrey Promises Emma Stone Sex That She’ll Thank God For, Every Day
I don’t know if you keep an eye on Jim Carrey Tru Life, but it’s an odd, fascinating website and something that Carrey has been plugging on Twitter quite a bit lately. Filled with videos of Jim, where he goes and what he gets up to, and often filmed by the actor himself, the site…
Shawn Levy Considering Max Landis’ Circus-Set Spin On Frankenstein
Not many detals are known so far of the new, Max Landis-scripted take on Frankenstein, and apparently, some of what we thought we knew is wrong. At the tale end of last week, I ran a breakdown of characters supposedly in the film, sourced from Shock. Landis then got in touch to say that, actually,…
Three Faces Of Doctor Who by Josh Adams
His father his Neal Adams. He writes (occasionally) for Bleeding Cool. He eats a mean pancake. And now Josh Adams is drawing Doctor Who. Here are three looks at his first work on the continuing series, issue 9. I really think Josh has caught Matt Smith’s hangdog/beautiful people expression down pat. And I do hope…
There Might Well Be A CG Yoda On The Phantom Menace Blu-Ray, But He Isn’t New
The internet continues telling George Lucas he’s wrong to try and make his personal works of art the way he wants them, and that he has no right to hold back products that he doesn’t wish to sell. It’s like there’s an army of people who think they’re somehow entitled by birthright to pristine copies…
Bionic Man Comic Sells Out On Release
The Bionic Man is a new Dynamite Entertainment comic based on the Kevin Smith screenplay for the project that never quite made it to the screen. And while the comic may not have brought in six million dollars, it did sell out of its overprint instantly to retailers, necessitating a second print. Hence the new…
Dustin Nguyen Working On New Batbook For 2012
He is one of DC Comics’ most spectacular talents. Of late, his colour work has a looser, more organic feel that’s drop dead beautiful in a Jill Thompson fashion. But his name has been missing from the DC New 52. Well, here’s an opportunity to put that right. It looks like he’s working on a…
The Fear Index Has Robert Harris On Board To Write, Paul Greengrass To Direct
Novelist and screenwriter Robert Harris is a hot ticket when it comes to book-to-screen adaptations, having already seen five of his novels bought up for film or TV production. He made his screenwriting debut last year with an adaptation of his novel The Ghost and according to an interview with the Telegraph has just signed…
How To Find The Stan Lee-Signed Ultimates #1
Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #1, shipping today is polybagged. A small amount of copies have been signed by Stan Lee with a certificate. However, the certificate, at the back of the comic, is blindingly obvious to see by anyone with eyes looking for it. That Stan Lee autograph could well see their value skyrocket in…

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…
