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…

Video Preview: Grifter #1 by Nathan Edmonson and CAFU
Thanks to Spanish agent David Macho Gomez there… UPDATE: Yeah, the music means that Americans can’t see it… give me a few minutes… UPDATE 2: How about now?
The Deep Blue Sea Will Close BFI London Film Festival
Before you all get too excited, I’m not talking about that shark movie with Samuel L. Jackson. Which is rare for me, since approximately 82% of all my conversations start with the words, “Hey, remember that shark movie with Samuel L. Jackson?” I lead a sheltered life. No, this is actually an adaptation of the…
Preview: D’Israeli’s Low Life, From 2000AD
Starting in next week’s 2000AD, comes a new twelve part story by Rob Williams and D’Israeli, Low Life. This is his first published work since his SVK comic with Warren Ellis. Have a preview…
Filling In The X-Men Blue Silhouettes
So Marvel have started to fill in a few of the X-Men Blue quandriptych silhouettes… throwing in a Storm, Colossus and Magik… Of course, Bleeding Cool readers knew a couple of those already. Let’s do a quick cut and paste with what we had before… There we go!
JLI – From Foxy Margaret Thatcher To Plastic Man…
That would be a rather foxy Margaret Thatcher as opposed to the walking zombie we have now. This teaser from DC Comics for the Justice League International also shows us Booster Gold, Plastic Man, Ice, Hawk, Frankenstein, Vixen, Fire and a shaven Oliver Queen? And could that be Jackson King from Stormwatch and Monarchy up…
Mark Romanek’s Epic Hamster Dance
It’s tempting to read Mark Romanek‘s new Kia commercial as a big joke on computer-monitor culture, from faceless Halo fragfests to the lunacy of the Hamster Dance, memes buried in entirely different strata of the virtual world but sharing some of the same digital DNA. It’s not being called Share Some Soul for nothing. And who can’t…
Tuesday Runaround – From August 31st To September 11th
SpellWatch: Panini continue to spell Siege incorrectly on their Marvel UK reprint covers. Maybe they’re getting it mixed up with Heil? There has been an awful lot of Hitler about recently. SundayWatch: This Sunday’s comic strips will all be 9/11 themed. Expect a mix of morbidity and poignancy. Not too many laughs. Business as usual…
Preview: Jamie McKelvie’s X-Men Season One
I do like Jamie McKelvie’s art. I also like Jamie McKelvie. And if he’s in the pub tomorrow night, I may well be offering to buy him a drink based on this preview of X-Men: Season One, the OGN that you’ll be finding across Disney’s distribution platforms next year… Sweet.
Monday Trending Topics: Less Than 24 Hours To Go
With the hours counting down to the midnight release of Jim Lee and Geoff Johns‘ Justice League #1, it’s no surprise that DC sweeps BC’s top stories today. To me, the interesting backstory today is the backorder status of the book. How many extras did they run? Will there be a fast 2nd print?…
New James Bond Movie Seems To Have Its Name And Story
What you can hear ringing in the background are the alarm bells of my cynicism, but let’s play Benefit of the Doubt for a moment. Jelena Mihailovic is a Serbian cellist and, apparently, she performed in front of Sam Mendes and some James Bond “producers” at Cannes. So “staggered” were they by what she was…
Will The Dark Knight Returns Open With A Bit Of Location Scouting?
I would have assumed that the first scene of The Dark Knight Rises would be something action packed, but I suppose there’s no reason it couldn’t be something more dramatic. Or maybe even something lyrical… (I will, however, bet you my house* that it’s going to be presented in the big, square IMAX format.) The following might…
Tron Himself Says Third Film Is “Done Deal” And “Already In The Works”
I’ve probably been less sceptical about the chances of seeing a third Tron than a second Sin City, but consider me tickled that today brought omens of both of these sometime long-shots being real, in-development films that are coming our way. Here’s a very short video of Bruce Boxleitner, the man who was Tron, fielding fan questions about…

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…
