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…

Keep Your Pants On: What To Do When They Say “Yes!”
Kate Kotler and Elliott Serrano write for Bleeding Cool; Guess what y’all! Elliott had a date this weekend!!! That’s right, while Kate was off chasing down interviews and drinking wine with certain devastatingly handsome, chess-playing British comic creators and hobnobbing with Stan Lee at Baltimore Comic Con, our own soulless geek went out on the…

A Very Weird Looking Batman Inc #8 (SPOILERS)
Anyone remember Batman: Digital Justice? An early computer generated comic book by Pepe Moreno set in a future Gotham being ravaged by the Joker computer virus. It takes the grandson of Jim Gordon to become a new Batman, with a sentient computer and a robot butler to take down the Joker threat. Take that and…
A Very New Justice League International (And Emerald Warriors Spoilers)
Okay, so *this* was the DC Retro Active book I was waiting for. I remember a palpable sense of loss when the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League ended. I’m still annoyed by it. Was it just me? The sitcom of comic books, it played with comedy and pathos alike, turned the Blue Beetle into a much loved…

Now Is The Time To Buy That Boxset Of The Wire You Promised Yourself
Down to $72.49 from almost $200, the full, 23-disc box set of The Wire is, at this very moment, an absolute steal. Note that the price won’t stay this low for too long, unfortunately, as it’s just been set for today’s Gold Box Deal at Amazon. According to people on Twitter this afternoon… and, simply…

***SPOILERS ***SPOILERS ***SPOILERS ***SPOILERS ***SPOILERS ***SPOILERS *** In the final issue of Gotham Sirens before the relaunch, issue 26 out today, it’s very much an ending of ways.

A Visual Exploration Of Motifs In Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch
As the next exhibit in my case for the defense of Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, here’s a compelling video edited by David Smart. He’s currently working on a more elaborate, multi-part video essay on the film, something he was kind enough to tell me had been inspired by my own earlier “visual commentary” piece. You…

Does Ultimate Spider-Man Preview Reveal New Powers?
From the preview of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #2 shipping in October, with art from Sara Pichelli, we see what appear to be at least two new powers from Miles Morales, the new Ultimate Spider-Man. We know strength, agility and spider-sense are there from the Ultimate Fallout appearance, although he seems to treat the latter as…
Conan Scriptwriter Sean B Hood Answers: “What’s It Like To Have Your Film Flop?”
One of the credited writers on the new Conan the Barbarian is Sean B. Hood, a thoroughly nice chap by all acounts. And he’s obviously rather open too, having posted a very candid Quora post last night about the film’s faltering with US critics and punters, and how that feels from his side of the…

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…
