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…

Finally! Here’s The 3D Version Of Deathly Hallows: Part One – But At A Price
For months, Warner Bros. had been advertising a cinema release in both 2D and 3D for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One, but as the premiere approached, the stereo-optic alternative was taken off the table. At the time, they said: Despite everyone’s best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its…
The Sexist Truth About Superboy #1
Forget Catwoman #1. Forget Red Hood And The Outlaws #1. Did anyone take a close look at DC’s Superboy #1 from last week? Written by the same writer, Scott Lobdell, who so offended the internet with his portrayal of Starfire in Red Hood, there are even more shocking sexist attitudes on pretty much every page…
Puss In Boots Does Old Spice
The Puss in Boots viral videos continue, and may even have reached their pinnacle with this pastiche of the Old Spice campaign. Again, the comic mileage in his machismo and cattiness seems endless. The more I see, the more I think this film is going to be both the most cogent and the most rich…
Win! Signed Drive Poster And Retro T-Shirt
Today’s the day that Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive comes speeding, crashing and other car-related punning into cinemas across the UK. There’s an awful lot of excitement for this film – I’ve seen my Twitter feed light up with words like “thrilling”, “exhilerating”, “stylish” and “ultra dark.” Well, assuming anything can light up with “ultra dark.”…
Friday Runaround – Sex, Lies And Catwomen
CatWatch1: Laura Hudson of Comics Alliance goes to town on Catwoman and Starfire. And seemingly… quits. “I have been doing this for a long time, now. I have lived in the neighborhood of superhero comics for a long time. And frankly, if this is how they think it’s ok to treat me when I walk…
Thursday Trending Topics: Liam Vs Wolves
It’s been a busy day on BC, lots of things happening in comics this week. Lots of controversy going on. Catwoman #1, Red Hood And The Outlaws #1. But nothing beats Liam Neeson fighting Wolves. He’s battled everyone from Archibald Cunningham to Darth Maul, and now this. Most-Read TV/Film Stories Today: And Now For Something…
Thursday Night Rushes – Fast Show, Isaac Asimov, Sherlock Holmes 2 And More
This isn’t the longest Rushes I’ve ever written, but there’s still some gold to be mined. And then there’s some pretty much non-news about Iron Man 3.
Shocking First Poster For The Human Centipede Part 2 Puts It All Out There
The original poster for Tom Six‘s original The Human Centipede was pretty nasty, but only if you looked at it already knowing the premise of the film. It showed all three sections of the human centipede pressed up against a frosted glass pane, and it was a brilliant poster. Discreet enough to get away with…
And Finally… Another Take On That Catwoman #1 Scene

Buy Dan DiDio For A Thousand Dollars
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is appealing to raise $100,000 by the end of October, to pay for “urgent legal and education work.” This includes the first payments to the case of Brandon X, an American arrested in Canada becaiuse of the comics on his laptop. Thankfully they’ve got the New York Comic Con…
A Little Bit Of What Thor 2 Will Be About, And Some Idea Of When Cap 2 Will Come Out
Kevin Feige, the man with the Marvel movie masterplan, has talked a little about the plot elements we can expect to see in the next Thor movie. There’s no villain named (you just know there’s going to be a clear antagonist) but there’s quite a bit to be getting on with. Here’s how Entertainment Weekly…
Killing Optimus Prime In Time For Christmas
That’s what every young boy wants waiting for him under the tree come Christmas morning, the corpse of Optimus Prime. The new one shot from IDW, Transformers: The Death Of Optimus Prime will do exactly what it says in the tin. Kill off the Autobot leader at the final end of the Autobot/Decepticon war. Written…

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…
