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…

A Few Put-Yourself-On-The Front-Of-Spider-Man Covers Come Through. And One Of Them Is Dan Slott.
If you has a spare $4000 and a friendly retailer, you could get them to put you on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #669, drawn by Todd Nauck, in return for 2000 copies of the comic. So you had to have deep pockets. A few people seem to have them. Including Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan…
Jim Lee And Geoff Johns Hand Out Pizza At Midtown, Scott Snyder Lines Up
Scott Snyder may be relaunching Batman for the DC New 52 with Greg Capullo. But that’s not out this week. Which is why Scott Snyder is currently lined up outside Midtown Comics to get his Justice League #1 and Flashpoint #5 signed by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee along with with everyone else. Which means…
Eliza Dushku Stakes Daily Mail Over Hayden Panettiere
The Daily Mail ran a piece the other day in which it criticised Hayden Panettiere for charging $30 a signature at the Fan Expo Canada in Toronto this past weekend, claiming that she must have fallen on hard times. Weird, since I featured her doing the same at Big Apple Comic Con right in the…
Is This The Best DC New 52 Ad Ever?
This ad has not been commissioned or sanctioned by DC Comics or Warners. As a result it’s a hell of a lot better. It’s self mocking but it actually makes things feel a little exciting. I think I’m going to buy Aquaman now. Great performances all round.
Preview: War Goddess #1 – Boundless Plug Of The Week
Issue one War Goddess by Mike Wolfer and Pow Rodrix from Boundless. Which is kind of like what Avatar used to be. Anyway, there are only two comics from DC tomorrow, why not take the opportunity to try something else, hey? After all, Pow Rodrix has drawn Justice League, so it’s close enough.Also, plenty of…
A Comic Show: A Comic Store Relaunch
Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1 in their hands. The swines. Aaron and Jason from A Comic Shop in Florida on relaunching and remodelling the store, kicking Jason down to LA and preparing for a midnight opening. And then a little Ultimate Hawkeye and some Spider-Islandy Amazing Spider-Man to boot. Yeah, yeah, rub it in…
Finally, The Final Chronicles Of Wormwood: Avatar Plug Of The Week
Tomorrow is a big day for comics. Because tomorrow is the day that… Chronicles Of Wormwood: The Last Battle #6 will be published. Oh and know some of you have been waiting for Justice League #1, but that’s nothing compared to the ages wait of a Wormwood fan. Well here it is, your final chapter….
How To Find A Stan Lee Signed Ultimate Hawkeye #1 Tomorrow
Tomorrow, comic stores will be selling Ultimate Hawkeye #1, in a white polybag. Inside around a hundred of them, you’ll find a Stan Lee signed copy. It should be random., Except they’ve got Certificates bagged in there with them, plainly seen from the back… Good luck. Except you won’t need it now. Last week’s Stan…
Avengers Fight Skrulls In Leaked Footage From Canned Tie-In Game
A few days ago I reported on an IMDb listing of Cobie Smulders playing Marie Hill/Anelle, a Skrull character, in the new Avengers movie. I was promptly met with a chorus of people denouncing IMDb for being about as reliable as a chocolate teapot when it comes to pre-release info about films. Well, you make…
Draining Your Balls at Dragon*Con Part II: Some Practical Advice by Bill Meeks
Bill Meeks writes for Bleeding Cool Now as you may have seen in Rich’s post yesterday Dragon*Con has plenty of people looking to party. Being the intrepid Bleeding Cool Dragon*Con reporter that I am I decided to try and contact some of these enterprising young fellows to find out the why and how of hooking…
Valkyrie And Sin, Just Hanging Out
VALKYRIE: So here we here. SIN: Here we are. VALKYRIE: Two chicks, just hanging out in the weapons store. SIN: I do like your hammer. VALKYRIE: Thanks, I picked it up for next to nothing. And anyway, what about your gun? SIN: Which one? VALKYRIE: The one you’re holding across your shoulder. I have to…
Numbercrunching The New 52 DC Comics Orders
So I asked a number of retailers how they were ordering the DC Relaunch titles, compared to their sales of Justice League #1. The answers varied widely but there were some patterns. So here is a very unscientific display of how these figures would play out if they were representative of the industry as a…

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…
