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…

No More Mutants: 52 Problems by Andrew Wheeler
Andrew Wheeler writes for Bleeding Cool The DC reboot is creating the wrong kind of buzz again this week with the launch of Catwoman #1. There are spoilers ahead for those who haven’t read it, but you’ve probably heard how it ends by now. Before we get to that ending, though, it’s worth looking at…
Captain America Calls Finders Keepers In The Fearless #1
This is a lesson in how to keep an event comic going on for an entire year after it finishes. Longer, if it’s late. By Matt Fraction, Chris Yost, (mostly) Cullen Bunn, Mark Bagley and Paul Pelletier. Well, it looks like Sin’d forces have done a good job of creating a smaller government, if nothing…
UPDATE: Si Spurrier On Bringing Back The X-Club In December

Something Called Voltron To Be Published As A Comic By Dynamite In December
I have no idea who or what Voltron is. We never got it in Britain, the toys or the cartoons, I know there’s something about a robot lion involved but that is the limit of my knowledge. Anyway, Dynamite are making a comic book of it in December, written by Brandon Thomas, drawn by Ariel…
Rather Long Trailer For Fincher’s Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
At almost three and three quarter minutes, the latest trailer for David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is quite the sit down meal. And here’s something to chew on: the accents. They’re nothing if not varied. Is there a system here? Or has each accent been settled on independently? The “babel fish” convention…
Is James Bond Really About To Meet Blofeld Again?
John Logan is one of the many writers on the upcoming Bond film, the one which may or may not take it’s title and/or it’s plot from the novel Carte Blanche.

Wednesday Trending Topics: The Bat And The Cat
Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Peter Parker and Mary Jane. Archie, Betty, and Veronica. Decades-spanning comic book relationships often get controversial when the relationship takes a new turn or is shown in a new light — or perhaps more accurately in the case of today’s Catwoman 1, when the relationship becomes more explicitly defined. There…

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

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…
