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…

Filming Next Week’s Doctor Who (Video & Pics)
Here are some photos and video taken from the set of next week’s episode of Doctor Who. No scary doll faced children, you are spared that. Thanks to Matt Booker of Auttomatic Comics.
Spider-Man Vs Hurricane Irene On Virginia Beach
I think the weirdest part of this, let’s face it, rather weird news clip, is after being interviewed in the hurricane on the beach, Spider-Man runs off into the sea, doing a Reggie Perrin impression. Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does anything a spider clearly wouldn’t be stupid enough to do… Stay safe, everyone.
Shadow, The Real Life Super Hero Of Yeovil Town
This is Shadow, a ninja who patrols the streets of his home town to make it a safer place to live. And it’s not a comic. He’s a Real Life Superhero in Yeovil in England. Ken Andre, 33, father of two. And superhero street hero. We met him in a Channel 4 documentary but now…
Today Is International Read Comics In A Hurricane In Public Day
Yeah, you know I don’t just read comics in public, I film them being opened with a running commentary on a public bus. But for some people there’s still a stigma to the whole thing, and this is a half-jokey attempt to challenge that. If you’re self conscious about reading comics in public, now is…
Sunday Runaround – Comics Like Susan Boyle
KirbyWatch: Yesterday, DC reported that it would have been Jack Kirby’s 94th birthday. Actually it’s today. The piece appears to have been removed. No doubt it will turn up again on DC’s site later… FootballWatch: Some school American football team decided to find a new power fantasy to help them play… Before the season, each…
Jack Kirby’s Birthday Original Artwork Gallery
Jack Kirby (1917-1994) was born today 94 years ago. Kirby was one of the most influential comic book artists ever, and as a big fan I’ve been pleased to see several blog posts and tweets marking the occasion already this morning. And I also think this is one of those times that a picture really is worth a…
Saturday Trending Topics: Earth 2
Word that the JSA and Earth 2 are coming to the new DCU caused quite a bit of stir on an already-busy Saturday. The devil will be in the details on this one in particular — adding a dimension to a universe is never an easy task, as comics has learned once or twice before….
Michel Gondry Adapting Boris Vian’s Froth On The Daydream
Boris Vian’s novel L’Ecume Des Jours is variously known as Froth on the Daydream, Mood Indigo, Froth on the Daze, or – in its previous, lates-60s cinematic incarnation, the more accurate The Spray of the Days. I’ve neither read the novel nor seen the movie, but I’ve just Googled it and spent all of two…
Tony Lee And Dan Boultwood’s Danger Academy
The cover to the first Danger Academy, out in December 2011 from Kickstart Entertainment, as seen at the Birmingham Comics Con today. The Gloom, also by Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood will be published by Arcana in early 2012… Also, Mark Millar didn’t make it to Birmingham Comic Con because he had the flu, which…
Brian Wood At Marvel In 2012. Possibly Wolverine.
It seems to have been made clar that DC Comics aren’t that interested in Brian Wood any more. DMZ ending, Northlanders cancelled with no replacement Vertigo projects, and dropped off the DC New 52 revamp of Supergirl without any reasonable explanation. And his work on Supernatural came from the Wildstorm side of the company as…
Ten Thoughts About Doctor Who: Let’s Kill Hitler
Obviously there are spoilers, what are you thinking? Seriously? 1. A Bit Of A Corny Beginning Ooh, I haven’t done this for a while. How does it go again? Okay, normally aliens are meant to leave messages in corn fields for humans. So it’s rather nice to have humans leaving messages in corn fields for…
Robin Hardy Introduces His Next Leading Lady For Follow-Up To The Wicker Tree
See that picture? That’s who Brendon has been spending time with today. It must be so difficult being the film editor here at Bleeding Cool, with all these great burdens upon your shoulders. One marvels at his ability to cope. Yes, say hello to Halla Vilhjálmsdóttir! And now say goodbye, because she’s changing her name…

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…
