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…

Ben Heine To Exhibit Pencil Vs Camera Work In London
He’s one of my favourite modern artists with a cartoony bent. The Belgian photographer and cartoonist Ben Heine is to have his work exhibited in a number of London art shows in October. First at Art Londonon at the Chelsea Royal Hospital, then at the Affordable Art Fairs both in Battersea and Hampstead. Here is…
Helen Mirren Says She’s On For Red 2 Next Year
I can imagine that rounding up ensemble casts for the sequel to a sleeper hit* is a tricky, and expensive business. As Red 2 comes together, Summit will be having hijinks, working out new deals with several stars of the first film, their busy schedules and sharp agents. It would be inconceivable that they’d proceed…
See Catwoman’s Other Costume From The Dark Knight Rises
Set pictures from The Dark Knight Rises have revealed that Catwoman will indeed have another look, and the officially released image of Anne Hathaway in costume doesn’t tell the whole story. Be warned: the following images, and perhaps discussion, could be called spoilers. This is just what some of you have been waiting for. Whereas…

TechWatch: How Steve Jobs ruined comics.

Saturday Trending Topics: Aliens, Zombies, And Doctor Who
Had to laugh at some of the response to the Alien Anthology post re the crushing disappointment of Alien 3. To this day I don’t think I’ve seen the whole thing through. It is the only film I’ve ever fallen asleep during at a theater. I fell asleep again while giving it a second chance…
Saturday Night Rushes – Freak Dance, Captain America, Riddick, Zombies And Cheerleaders
Some Rushes for Saturday night. You know the drill by now, right?
TV Show That Took Off Fables Advertises On The Back Of… Fables
Six years ago, Vertigo’s hit series Fables was being developed by NBC as an ongoing TV series, but only made it to scripts. In 2008, ABC stated that they had picked up the rights for a TV pilot of Fables. Writers were attached, David Semel was to direct. And then… nothing, Now ABC are putting…
Ten Thoughts About Doctor Who: Closing Time
By Eve Johnston (6 1/2) 1. We’re Going Shopping On The Moon The last time the Doctor was in a shopping centre, there were Autons in the basement. This time, there are Cybermen. Plus ca meme chose… We’ve been in a lot of enclosed environments with levels in the last few episodes. Doll houses, council…
Bladerunner 2 May Have Found Its Writer In Scott Burns
Director Ridley Scott might be the marquee name for the second Blade Runner film, and frankly, it’s obvious why, but he’s going to need a scriptwriting collaborator of two. Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples were the chief contributors to the first picture, and sterling work they did too. Whoever gets the gig this time…
Second Poster For The Human Centipede Part 2 Even More Grotesque Than The First
This image is not the poster. We would not dream of putting this poster on the front page.

Does This Video Show A Surprise New Villain In Batman: Arkham City?

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…
