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…

What’s So Great About The First Footage From The Hunger Games?
The first footage from Gary Ross‘ The Hunger Games was premiered during the MTV VMAs and has now arrived online in a nice, high quality version or ten. It’s nothing like a traditional trailer, and is quite specific in what it teases, but I think it’s pretty good. Take a look. Starting with two shots…
Justice League #1 Has Sold Out
There may have been over 200,000 preorders from retailers. And DC Comics will no doubt have included a generous over print. But according to retailers trying to up their orders of the first of the New 52 titles from Diamond, they can no longer order additional copies of Justice League #1. Officially it has designated…
The Blackification Of The Black Terror
This is the cover to Blackest Terror, a new comic published by Moonstone in October. Written by Eric M Esquivel and drawn by Ander Sarabia, it takes the classic pulp character currently published by Dynamite, and, well… makes him a black man. And this character is the first of a “collection of racial and social…
Beauty Queens Beware In Michael Steiner’s Miss Switzerland Massacre
Today is the last day of FrightFest, which means that we have time for just one more bit of news for all the horror fans out there. Michael Steiner, director of Sennentuntschi: Curse of the Alps, spoke to Brendon about his next film. It’s called Miss Switzerland Massacre, and it’s about a group of Miss…
Draining Your Balls At Dragon*Con
I’ve never been to Dragon*Con. But it does have, shall we say, a bit of a reputation. More adult that your average Comic Con, and all the temptations that accompany that. So it’s always fun to look through Craigslist as the convention gets closer, and see the kind of plans people are making… have fun…
Mourning September With David Hine – And The Darkness!
A year ago I posted an article entitled David Hine’s Six For September. Looking at six books that were coming out from writer, David Hine, in September 2010, The Darkness: Four Horsemen #2, The Bulletproof Coffin #4, Azrael #12, The Spirit #6, Ryder On The Storm #1 and Detective Comics #869.

Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #113: Human Intervention
Having a grand old time playing DEUX EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION this week on the Xbox. It fills my craving for intricate Bladerunner-style Science Fiction stories and the opportunity to arse about in that world in an interactive way. I’ve always liked the idea of story-based role-playing games where you play a simulation of a space…
CrossGen At Fan Expo – Kiss Kiss Bang Bang By Peter Milligan And Ramon Rosanas Announced
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was one of the more esoteric titles published by CrossGen back in the day and bears no relation to the similarly titled movie. And now Marvel have announced at Fan Expo Canada that Peter Milligan and Ramon Rosanas are reviving the comic as a mini-series starting in December. “McGrath is a…
A Lesson In Longsword Fighting by Leah Borromeo
Leah Borromeo writes for Bleeding Cool; My instructions were to meet at Stoke Newington’s Abney Park Cemetery and keep a lookout for a monk. With a sword. By a disused chapel. I was joined by five other journalists from the land of geekdom who’d prised themselves from their computers to learn the art of thirteenth-century…

Ten days ago, Bleeding Cool told you about The Dynamite Art Of Alex Ross. Well now we have a few pictures from the inside to go with the cover…

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…
