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…

Legendary Set Out Their Plans For The Mass Effect Movie
It was officially announced at Comic-Con this year (and unofficially before hand) that Legendary Pictures had appointed Mark Protosevich to write a screenplay based upon the Mass Effect videogames. Lots of questions were asked at the panel, and they were indeed answered, but there were plenty more in waiting that the panellists didn’t have time…
What Does The T Grade Mean For DC Comics?
A little while ago, DC Comics dropped what was left of the Comics Code to publish titles under their own internal code applied. Okay, so we’ve done Catwoman #1. Very much what DC calls a T+ title, I think. But there seems to be a little uncertainty or consistency over what exactly makes a T…
And Now For Something Completely Different: Liam Neeson Bare Knuckle Fighting With A Wolf
Actually, that headline is not completely accurate. I had to tone it down because the truth of what we actually see in this trailer for The Grey is too batshit insane to be contained in one headline. I warn you in advance, this trailer is a visual representation of a sliding scale between Seen-It-All-Before and…
Spoiling The Ending Of Catwoman #1
I’m told that a Bleeding Cool post the other week helped spur some last minute interest in Detective Comics #1. So let’s see if this will do the same with Catwoman #1. Or not. You know the drill now. If you are thinking of reading Catwoman #1, stop now. Come back later. If you’ve decided…
Windows Is Next For Nacho Vigalondo, Not Mark Millar’s Supercrooks
With the success of Oscar-nominated writer/director Nacho Vigalondo‘s 2007 sci-fi Timecrimes and a much-anticipated screening of his latest offering Extraterrestrial at Fantastic Fest next week, the guy’s quite the hot talent. His next thriller, Windows, has been talked about for over a year now but no concrete details had been announced. Until now, that is….
Four Names Off The Masthead At Radical Publishing
This is a recent masthead from Radical Entertainment. Of the fourteen names, I understand that four have gone. Calvin Louie and David Isaacs, described by Radical representatives to me as minimum wage employees – but described on the masthead as Assistant Director of Production and Assistant Director of Distribution – are gone. And so are…
First Clip From Batman: Year One – Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner?
This clip from the animated Year One has a few things the comic book couldn’t, including sound and motion. It moves better than it sounds, I think. And we can be pretty sure the storyline works.
A Comic Show – Double The Fun With Anna Young
Okay, so they’re a little late again but the boys from A Comic Shop in Florida with Aaron and… wait a minute, something’s changed… that’s right, Mike has been replaced by Anna Young, the inspiration for Anna Mercury. And she’s set to make big changes for the show. As in not just sitting next to…
How To Host The Oscars: Steve Martin’s Advice To Eddie Murphy
Hosting the Oscars is a daunting task, which is why it’s always good to have an old pal on hand to give you helpful advice. Failing that, however, you can always get an old co-star to give you some extremely unhelpful advice in the name of comedy, and that’s just exactly what Eddie Murphy has…
Garth Ennis And Mike Wolfer Talk Stitched
Keith Davidsen of Avatar Press talked to Garth Ennis and Mike Wolfer about Stitched, the movie chapter and comic book from Avatar, out in November. First, Garth… Keith: Many filmmakers rely on the darkness to tell horror stories, but you’ve brought terror out into the harsh light of day. Why did you make that creative…
Pics: Mad Max Cars On The Road… To Namibia
Production on George Miller’s Mad Max seqboots, Fury Hill and Furiosa are set to begin production in the spring. The original plan to film in Miller’s native Australia has come a cropper, however, as the locations have turned out to be rather too verdent. So, the production is relocating to Namibia, and will start in…
Double Page “Here Comes The Cavalry” Splash From Fear Itself #7
Here’s a double page spread preview of Fear Itself. Captain America holding the line with a couple of guns and some debris. When suddenly… I wonder if they’ll get to keep all those weapons afterwards?

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…
