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…

Joker Flashback Appears In Batgirl #1 (Preview)
The New York Post is running a preview of Batgirl #1 today. Co-publisher Jim Lee said that while the relaunched character will be younger, they’re keeping her time as a paralytic as part of her history. “We thought when you see her recovering from that, it would continue to add nuance and depth to the…
Justice League – What’s 200,000 Sales Between Friends?
It was recently reported that Justice League #1 by Jim Lee and Geoff Johns has sold over 200,000 advance orders for August, along with six or seven other DC titles selling over 100,000 each in September. And this is being reported as astounding when compared to other news that big time comic books just aren’t…
Sin City 2 To Get Rewrite By The Departed’s William Monahan
Should I start believing in Sin City 2 yet? I’ve been expressing cynicism for years. Perhaps my doubts became too comfortable, because I’m having trouble taking them off. But perhaps, when I sat and watched Robert Rodriguez at Comic Con this year, promising flat-out that the film’s finances were coming together and if he was…
Monday Runaround – Windy Cities
HawkWatch: Tony Daniel on Savage Hawkman: “The first thing that I wanted to get rid of is the reincarnation factor, the Egyptian thing and the tragedy of him and Hawkgirl. All that stuff. A lot of convolution there. Is that a word or did I just coin a phrase?” IreneWatch: Newport Virginia store, World’s Best…

Marjane Satrapi is the creator of the comic book Persepolis, which also became the greatest comic book-to-movie adaptation to date. Yes it did. Shush. Now her graphic novel Chicken With Plums is also being adapted, this time as a live action movie, and the French trailer is now available for the first time.
Preview: Flashpoint #5 by Geoff Johns And Andy Kubert
I’ve read the script to Flashpoint #5. And I have to say it matches up fine, give or take a word here or there, so far at least. Because, here is a preview of the comic, available on Wednesday in most comic stores and Tuesday midnight, Irene willing, in a select few… I will give…
Sunday Trending Topics: Hail To The King
Despite some horrible weather conditions for much of the US east coast, it was still a feel-good Sunday for comics, both here and around the world. Read comics in public day, lots of love for Jack Kirby‘s birthday, it sounds like Fan Expo was a blast, and I even saw a few people mention that…
Future Tech From The Prometheus Universe – TOO LATE
Not only does Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus share some its DNA with the Alien franchise, it appears to be sharing a bunch of mechanical schematics and blueprints too. Courtesy of Alien Prequel News, here are images of a land vehicle of some kind, and of a “lifter”. THEY’RE GONE – AT REQUEST OF FOX – SORRY As the Alien…

Marvel Tells Canada That Alpha Flight Is To Be A Continuing Series. Guess The Reaction.
Right, at MCM, Marvel can jolly well come over and tel Britain that Excalibur is coming back. Chris Claremont and Alan Davis have pitched it to Marvel after all… But for now, from a hurricane-less Fan Expo Canada comes the news that Alpha Flight will now be a continuing series by Greg Pak, Fred Van…

Some more news from the front lines of FrightFest now, as writer-director Ti West hopped up onto the stage after the screening of his new film The Innkeepers and threw out a few tidbits about what he might be up to next. We’ve known for some time that he’s been cooking up a new sci-fi…

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…
