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…

An Extra Life On… Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 Part 2
Paul W Franklin writes weekly for Bleeding Cool about the life of an Extra. Part One Here It’s entirely appropriate that I should cover this film in two parts since it was made, as you’re no doubt aware, in two parts. This, apparently, wasn’t a ploy by Warner Bros to make even more money (because,…
Zuda’s “I Rule The Night” Returns To DC Comics
I Rule The Night by Kevin Colden was a Zuda comic. Remember Zuda? The free webcomic line developed by DC Comics using a competition commission formula, that was shut down as DC underwent a number of major changes. A few titles escaped to other publishers. Some went to print. But others…. vanished. Well here’s one…
Games Of Thrones Comic Wins A Second Printing
Dynamite’s first issue retelling of George RR Martin’s novel Game Of Thrones (with some rather good looking Wildlings, I have to say) has sold out and has gone to a second print. Just as DC’s second prints have turned a tinge of red, so the A Game Of Thrones #1 cover by Alex Ross takes…
LushWatch: Art Adams Draws Thing, Valkyrie And Namor For The Fearless
I think we’ve got the plot now. Valkyrie wants to return the hammers of Fear Itself to Asgard. The heroes don’t want her to. Sin and her crew are still involved. Fight! And who better to add a touch of class to proceedings than Art Adams’ covers for issues 4 and 5 of The Fearless…
Eyepatches All Round – These Pictures From The Doctor Who Finale Would Be Spoilers If I Understood Them
There are several promotional images below, from this year’s Doctor Who finale, The Wedding Of River Song. What’s so great about the pictures is that, out of context, they’re questions rather than answers – not that you might consider that character a spoiler, or that facial hair, or those eyepatches. I’m more convinced than ever…
The Biggest French Comics Publisher Goes Kickstarter
Media Participations is the biggest comic book publishersin France. The third biggest publisher of any material. And the parent company of Dargaud, Le Lombard and Depuis. Well, Media Participations is as vulnerable to the changing market as anyone. One bright spark there has noted how smaller French publisher Sandawe has had some success with a…

Ola Rapace Joining What Appears To Be Bond 23
Ola Rapace is the husband, soon to be ex, of Noomi Rapace, the much-sought after breakthrough star of the Millennium movies. They’ve shared more than a bed and a wedding day however, with both being represented by Aleksandra Mandic, a powerful agent who helped facilitate Noomi’s transition to high-calibre, big pay day roles in American…
Marc Guggenheim’s Nowhere Man Without Hugh Jackman Or Paul Gulacy
Cocreator of Eli Stoine and producer of No Ordinary Family, Marc Guggenheim and Jeevan J. Kang have a new comic book from Dynamite in December, Nowhere Man. Or rather it’s an old comic book. Originally intended for Virgin Comics a few years ago, it’s now been taken up by that brand’s successor Liquid Comics through…
Preview: The Final Issue Of Uncanny X-Men. Until Next Month.
The last issue of Uncanny X-Men, number 544, is upon us. Written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Greg Land, it will be published by Marvel in October. Of course, it will be relaunched shortly afterwards. And will probably go back to regular numbering in five years for issue 600. But still. Here’s a look…
How The DC Comics New 52 Is Holding Up On eBay
So how are the New 52 comics faring in the speculator aftermarket? Let’s look at some recent sales on eBay. Well, the fuss about Catwoman #1 seems to have helped rather than hindered, with copies selling at $10 – although that’s just the same as the far-better received Wonder Woman #1. Nightwing #1 climbs as…

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…
