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…

DC Confirms James Robinson And Nicola Scott On JSA… And Earth 2

Fanboy Rampage: A Liefeld, Brevoort, Kirkman Sandwich
Yesterday, Bleeding Cool mentioned the Deadpool/X-Force book that Rob Liefeld is drawing. And the mention that Killraven by Liefeld and Kirkman for Marvel remains unpublished. Liefeld continued tweeting; Rob: This is common practice in the comics business. I completed pencils on 5 Killraven issues over 2 years ago. Fact. Issues 1 & 2 colored 2008….
Comix Kiss Comix Cancelled, Blamed On Piracy
Comix Kiss Comix is an popular erotic Spanish comic. Or, at least, it was. After 20 years and 239 copies, the comic has been cancelled, as sales have fallen from 30,000 copies down to 6,000. The publishers blame the decision on internet piracy. They tried to fight the illegal scanning in and torrenting of their…

JMS On Marko Djurdjevic, Toilet Paper And Earth One
Joe Michael Straczynski has posted on Facebook his response to the reportage of Thursday night’s Team Spirit panel at Fan Expo Toronto. And the words of a certain Marko Djurdjevic. However tempered by Jonathan Hickman. Several folks have emailed to ask what I thought of Marko Djurdjevic’s reported breakdown or tirade (depending on who’s doing…
Before Killing Hitler Tonight, Why Not Rewatch A Good Man Goes To War?
Lesbian lizards. Lactating Sontarans. Headless monks. Ganger babies. Time Lord cots. Time to refresh yourself before tonight’s new episode of Doctor Who on BBC One in the UK. BBC America in the USA… with a quick precis of the previous episode… And here’s the BBC iPlayer of the full episode as an embed for Brits…

From the Fear Itself panel held at Fan Expo Canada last night, come the following bullet points; The Fearless mini-series will focus on Valkyrie and Sin and what happens to the hammers.

Friday Trending Topics: X-Men Uncovered
With (some of the?) new team now standing revealed, BC discussion on this matter turned to comparative power levels of certain members, and what that might mean for the tenor of the book. Which is an excellent train of thought… because occasionally, comics should just be about bad guys getting stomped. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: That Uncanny…
And Finally… When Warners Wanted Marvel To Publish DC
Jim Shooter is telling his history of his life in comics on his blog. He’s just got to 1984, when Warners, apparently, asked if Marvel would be interested in publishing DC. Bill Sarnoff was the Big Cheese, I forget his exact title, of the publishing arm of Warner Communications. Among the operations under his purview…
Friday Night Rushes – Movie News Round-Up
Brad Pitt on Glasgow, during one of those afternoon zombie breakouts they’ve been having recently. More on that in a moment.

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…
