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…

Bond Girl Found? Berenice Marlohe To Join Bond 23
The Bond series hasn’t change that much over the years; we’re still talking about “Bond Girls.” Up-and-coming French actress Bérénice Marlohe is said to have been cast in Sam Mendes upcoming 23rd Bond picture. There’s no information on her role, as yet, but here’s a picture to help you guess: If the film is indeed…
How Can We Get Samuel Jackson To Play Aquaman?
I know he’s already Nick Fury. But on the basis of Badass Aquaman #1 out this week, there’s just no one else who should be allowed to play him in some movie in the future. Time for some very poor Photoshopping. Yeah, that restaurant scene seemed very familiar. Anyway, I believe he’s had enough of…
Two New Arrangements For The Avengers
Thanks to photoshop, Avenger juggling is very, very easy. You could have them in any order you wish! Here’s the cover of the new Entertainment Weekly. And here’s a remix. Quite why they’ve selected these particular individual elements, these specific snaps of the cast, I do not know. The worst is probably Mark Ruffalo who…
The CBLDF Gets The Rights To The Comics Code Seal. Heads Explode.
This, Alanis Morrissette, is irony. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, who fight against censorship of comic books, have been given the intellectual property rights to the Comics Code Authority Seal of Approval. Used by the Comic Magazine Association of America since the fifties until only a few years ago to indicate a book that…
DC Comics Gets Into Bed With The Amazon Kindle Fire
Jim Lee has got an Amazon Kindle Fire and you don’t. And DC have announced they are making DC graphic novels and collections available exclusively on the Kindle Fire, the new iPad2 killer from Amazon. Oh sure you may be able to buy individual issues on different devices and services. But the collections, from All…
VIDEO: The First Part Of My TV Pilot, Frisby’s Greatest Ever, Blending Comedy And Movies
Just over a year ago now I directed and edited the pilot for a new TV show, Frisby’s Greatest Ever, derived from my own original format. The script had been written by the supremely funny Gary Delaney and Dominic Frisby, and Frisby -for reasons that will be clear later – gave his name to the…
Preview: Incredible Hulk With Incredible Hype
Marvel are promising “a Hulk story unlike anything you’ve ever seen” Well I’m guessing it will be twenty-odd pages long. And have the Hulk in it. And Bruce Banner. So, you know. Anyway, here’ a look at Incredible Hulk #1 by Jason Aaron and Marc Silvestri, out at the end of October.

Six Changes For Superman #1
Superman #1 by George Perez and Jesus Merino was published today by DC Comics. Now I’m no Supermanologist like some, but even I noticed some major changes, So armed with a scanner and access to Wikipedia, I tried to label a few… 1. Racebending Morgan Edge The Superman badguy media mogal, played by Rutger Hauer…
Doctor Who Mini-Rushes – The Finale, The Christmas Special And Beyond
Here are the best bits of Doctor Who news from the last day or two in a handy (for me, at least) Rushes-style format. There might be a few minor spoilers ahead. Finances at BBC3 are being pushed towards the post-watershed 9 and 10.30pm slots, so a lot of more “family friendly” fare is facing…
Rufus Dayglo’s Tank Girl Poster For London MCM Expo
This is Rufus Dayglo’s Tank Girl poster for next month’s MCM Expo London Comic Con, one of a hundred made for the show. Naturally Rufus will be there, also with the likes of Gail Simone, John McCrea, David Hine, Hunt Emerson, Al Davison. And me, probably. Well, it is my local.

Today is the funeral of Sergio Bonelli, one of the most influential people in European comics, principle in the transition from a children’s art form into one for all ages.

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…
