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…

Steve Cook Recreates Mary Jane Watson
Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot. Comics industry luminary Steve Cook has recreated one of his favourite comic book panels in the flesh. We’ll be showing off more of his work over the last few decades over the next few days, but for now, consider this a teaser. Take it away Mary Jane!…
First Teaser Trailer For Stop-Motion Picture Paranorman
The second film from stop-motion specialists Laika is Paranorman, a creepy kids’ tale that works the same vibe as their earlier Coraline as much as possible. They seem to be actively pursuing a piegeo… a niche. Good for them? Without Coraline director Henry Sellick, or the foundations of Neil Gaiman’s invention, then Paranorman seems like…
Manga Vs Models At MCM London Expo
A couple of years ago, the MCM London Expo was held at the Excel Convention Centre at the same time as a Mission Of Peace And Light, attempting to unite the divisions caused by the Sunni and Shi’ite Islamic denominations. Which led to some strange juxtapositions, a huddle of Imams discussing points of theology as…
Batman:Arkham City – The Bleeding Cool Review
We take a look at what everyone is calling ‘the best superhero game ever’ and conclude that yeah, it is pretty much the best superhero game ever. And maybe a little more..
When Your Comic Book Dealer… Is Also Your Dealer
The connection between drugs and comic books has been much covered over the years, from the topic and inspiration of many a Fabulous Furry Freak Brother, to hallucinagenic experimentation behind some of the more mind bending Vertigo/Vertigoesque titles to the concentration enhancing variety that sped through much of the Image titles. Indeed one comic creator/exec…
Kick Ass Sequel “About To Be Announced” – And More From Millarworld
It looks awfully like a reporter running something that was supposed to be off the record, but take a look at these fragments: Mark [Millar] also has his sights on breaking onto our TV screens for the first time with the launch of his company Millarworld Productions. Mark — who has just been given the…
Does Pride And Prejudice And Zombies Need A Bullet To The Head? Project Falling Apart – Again
I think the simple version goes like this: The big movie bus pulls up outside Natalie Portman’s house and she gets on. Her intent is to produce and possibly star in an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The bus trundles over to David O’Russell’s house and he gets on to write…
Goldeneye Reloaded Launch Trailer
The original Goldeneye was a game that broke all the rules. Now it’s back, and it’s brought a digital Daniel Craig up against Odd Job and (as you can no doubt see) Jaws in a no-holds-barred 007 smackdown.
Turn Left – Preview Day At The MCM London Expo
Those attending the MCM London Expo who usually swerve to the far right of the massive hall expecting the Comics Village may grow increasing puzzled as they make their way through zombie princesses, stormtroopers and pixies this year. Instead, the Comics Village, bigger than ever, is to the left. The left. Remember that. It’s still…
Shooting The New Fast Show
UPDATE: This story is bringing in lots of new readers today. Hello. Please, have a look around. There’s a lot of very, very different things on this site… We were the first to tell you that Fosters were behind a new run of the breakneck sketch comedy series The Fast Show, and now, the series…
You Can Visit Hobbiton And Have A Drink In The Green Dragon
Peter Jackson and his Hobbit crew have started cameras rolling again, filming scenes on the rather extraordinary outdoors Hobbiton set at Matamata. Here’s an aerial picture of some of the set. Looks great. The sort of place I’d love to get to look around. So do you know what? I think I will. Announcing that…
Women Of Wonder Weekend Starts Tomorrow
Chris Troy writes for Bleeding Cool One thing I love about the nerd community/internet is that despite the snarky tweets and angry message board posts, we take care of each other in times of need. Penny Arcade’s annual Child Play charity drive has been a success for years, raising money to help put video game…

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…
