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…

This Is What A 150,000 Selling Digital Comic Looks Like
The other week, Marvel made a great play that the digital release of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, had broken their first-day digital sales record. Though they weren’t giving any numbers away. But then they never have. David Gabriel was quoted as saying “We’ve been doing the day and date comics for about a year now…
Teddy Bare – Talking To Ted Adams Of IDW Publishing
Ted Adams is CEO of IDW Publishing. He asked Bleeding Cool if we had any questions about, you know, stuff. You know what, turns out we did. Rich: You’ve been one of the more digitally conscious publishers, recently announced that you’re entering the Apple iBooks market to go along with your other initiatives. What are…

Preview: Teen Titans #1 by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth
Well, there doesn’t appear to be any portrayal of a much loved comic character in a sexual degrading fashion. Mind you this is only the first five pages of Teen Titans #1, so they still have plenty of opportunities. Courtesy of USA Today…
Marvel Reveals Uncanny X-Men 1 Cover. Again.
This is the third time Marvel have revealed the cover to Uncanny X-Men #1. Once with silhouettes and once without. This is the first time we’ve seen the bottom right corner though. Admidetedly this is the first time they’ve shown off the second issue cover. So there is that as well I suppose. Oh look,…
Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #117: Vigilantes Of Interest
Adi Tantimedh writes for Bleeding Cool; I hardly watch US network crime shows anymore because I find most of them to be generic shit (This is different from cable shows that don’t need to follow old formulae and can push the envelope more). They generally need to be in order to satisfy conservative viewers and…

VIDEO: Tonight’s Castle To Feature Superheroes And Marvel Comics
So DC and Warners may be tieing The Big Bang Theory and the DC New 52 Relaunch together. But Disney has beaten them to it with Marvel and Castle on ABC. Tonight’s episode in the US, sees the author-turned-police-resource hunting down a superhero-styled vigilante who appears to be killing released prisoners – while Castle also…
A Series Of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Sequels Are Coming Into Focus
John le Carre‘s George Smiley is a wonderful creation. I expect he was named George so that it would alliterate with gentle, and he’s painted in unusually warm colours for the Cold War, but le Carre also gave him enough intelligence to sharpen his tired eyes, deep reserves of determination and a decency that seems…
Swipe File: Francesco Vs Jimiyo
A six year old HP Lovecraft piece by Francesco Francavilla, above. A new HP Lovecraft T-shirt design, available on TeeFury today only by Texan artist Jimio. In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree . They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the…
Blowing Up The Baby In Demon Knights #1
There has naturally been rather a lot of commentary on the portrayal of Starfire in Red Hood And The Outlaws and Catwoman in her own title, pointing out the manner of intense sexualisation of characters that had, to some degree or other, been handled in a different fashion in the past. Bleeding Cool’s articles on…

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…
