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.

It’s exactly as you’d expect, I think, but Bleeding Cool have heard from a good source near the show that the moment Stephen King‘s plan to write an episode of The Walking Dead with his son Joe Hill was extinguished was the moment that Frank Darabont came unbound from the show. No official statement was…

Mark Millar’s War Heroes Headed To Universal – UPDATED
Since 2008, the rights to adapt Mark Millar and Tony Harris‘ War Heroes comics were sitting with Columbia. Three years later, they’ve failed to find a way to bring the superpowered soldiers project to the screen and have put it into turnaround, meaning other folks could sweep in and grab it for themselves. According to…
Ben Affleck Tapped To Adapt Stephen King’s The Stand
Last we heard, Harry Potter repeat offender David Yates was the man in the frame for Warner Bros. long time coming, big screen adaptation of The Stand. As of now, however, they seem to have slated Yates and selected Ben Affleck as the chap with the right stuff to bring Stephen King’s hugely complex story…
Listen To The Lizard: Rhys Ifans Shares A Rough Preview Of His Amazing Spider-Man Voice
Here’s a video interview in which Rhys Ifans demonstrates his Lizard voice from The Amazing Spider-Man.

Squirrelling Out Details On Watchmen 2
Sometimes all you do is have to mention its name, and lots of bits spill out. Two days ago, Bleeding Cool mentioned that Watchmen prequels at DC were back on the agenda, after the success of the New 52. That meetings were happening this week. That it had the code name “Panic Room”. That names…

Matt Smith Says “I’ve Got Another Year On Doctor Who” – Just The One?
We knew that Matt Smith was signed on for 14 more episodes of Doctor Who, starting late next year and rolling on into 2013, but we didn’t know how long he’d be hanging on after that. Indeed, there’s still room for argument, but in a new interview with VH1 Smith seems to have put a…

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…
