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.

Win! The Cape On DVD
Superheroes. Bloggers. Summer Glau. One of these things might seem not to fit, but all three come together in The Cape, a TV series about a masked vigilante estranged from his family and on a mission of vengeance. Here’s the show’s original trailer. It’s not too obvious from that, but Ms. Glau has a rather…
First Trailer For John Dies At The End
“The side effects don’t last that long. The effects will last the rest of my life, I think.”
Mummy, Can I Have A Cybermat For Christmas?
That’s what my six year old daughter asked my wife after watching Doctor Who this weekend. She was told that not even Santa can buy Cybermats in shops. Not yet anyway. Not for about three weeks at least. The Bump&GrindGo Cybermat is out from October 16th and can be ordered from Forbidden Planet right now…
Sergio Bonelli Passes, Aged 78
Creator of popular Italian comics Zagor, River Bill and Mister No, Sergio Bonelli died earlier today. Son of Tex creator Gian Luigi Bonelli, Sergio often wrote under the name of Guido Nolitta, to disguise his legacy in the field, as well as a female pseudonym, Annalisa Macchi.

Sunday Trending Topics: Purrfect Or Cat-astrophe?
Another day, another Catwoman controversy — today about the set pics showing Anne Hathaway in a Catwoman costume on the set of The Dark Knight Rises. We don’t know exactly what we’re seeing here, or any story context, but the opinions are already coming in — people are mostly loving the ears, mostly hating the…
Game Of Thrones: Season Two Gets A Meagre Teaser Trailer
This is slight. “The night is dark and full of terrors.” Yes. I suppose it is. The phrase is something of a mantra for Melisandre of Asshai, a character introduced in the second of George R.R Martin‘s Song of Ice and Fire books, and therefore the second series of A Game of Thrones. She’s to…
Sunday Night Rushes – The Man Of Steel, The Holy Grail, GI Joe And More
Elizabeth Banks stars in and has directed a short film called Just a Little Heart Attack. It’s part comedy, part PSA. It’s hard not to love her, don’t you think, especially when she does things like this? [Go Red] Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining is Doctor Sleep, a story of the adult Danny Torrance…
A Bunch Of New Footage And Audience Feedback From The Human Centipede Part 2
Tom Six‘s The Human Centipede Part 2: Full Sequence premiered at Fantastic Fest this week, and the reviews soon started flooding in. Some were good, some were bad, most agreed that the movie is pretty damn disgusting but the jury’s still out on whether it’s enough to put you off or if it’s merely part…

Artist Francis Manapul has responded, below; On a recent blog entry discussing marriages in comics, Jim Shooter reprints a synopsis to his editor for a two part Legion Of Superheroes story, during which he says; About 30 years later, in 2007, I went back to the future and wrote the Legion of Super-Heroes again for…

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…
