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…

Lara-El Almost Came To Earth Twice…
“My original plan was to have the pregnant Lara come to Earth instead of the baby. I explained that I needed that because if Superman was once again going to be the sole survivor of Krypton, the only way we could demonstrate how lethal kryptonite is would be to kill Superman. So I came up…
Jim Lee Draws Leonard As Lion-O In The Big Bang Theory
Last night’s Big Bang Theory took place in the local comic store, still full of first issues of the New 52 from DC Comics. But it was other properties that got highlighted last night, with John Byrne’s Next Men being picked up as the first appearance of Hellboy, and Leonard showing off his Jim Lee…
Friday Runaround – And He’d Have Gotten Away With It Too If It Wasn’t For The Italian Salad Dressing
KirbyWatch: Nat Gertler is starting “A Buck For Jack” to encourage people who have been to see movies based on Jack Kirby comic books, for which he and his estate received nothing, to donate “A Buck For Jack” for each movie, to his memory. Gertler is down nine bucks so far… CharityWatch: Mark Millar’s eBay…
Stephen Colbert Launches New Basketball-Related Super PAC Ad
The Super PAC system, which allows Americans to advertise for political causes and candidates with limnited accountability, taken on by Stephen Colbert in his Colbert Report for satirical purposes, again turns its attention to basketball issues again. I don’t pretend to understand them, but it’s possible you do… the ad will rn on WFAA Channel…
Review: The Walking Dead Season Two, Episode Three – Save The Last One
At the beginning of this episode, Shane is seen shaving his head. By the end of the episode, we find out why he is shaving his head. That’s pretty much all the plot progression that happens in this episode, and while the haircut is a lot more significant than it sounds and marks a dramatic…
Thursday Trending Topics: The Nightmare Before Halloween
I suppose we all knew he’d be back, but it was equally likely we’d hear about it soon — those original Rob Granito posts have been read by legions of comic and art fans. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Those Latest Rob Granito Swipes You know when you’ve been Granitoed. Such as Rob’s Nightmare Before Christmas…
The Best And Worst Of The New Girl With The Dragon Tattoo TV Spot
The best: “I want you to help me catch a killer of women”, cut to reaction. The worst: A Film By David Fincher, cut to preposterous shot in which the camera flies over Lisbeth’s head and frames her face, upside down. God only knows what context could justify this sort of clowning around. I can’t…
Now Is The Time To Buy John Carpenter’s Halloween On Blu-Ray
The Anchor Bay Blu-ray of John Carpenter’s Halloween is so good that I sometimes felt like I was watching a film I had never seen before. Honestly. And that’s despite me having seen the film at least fifteen times already. This might just be my favourite of Carpenter’s films, as much as I also love…
Beetlejuice Sequel To Star Michael Keaton In “True Continuation 26 Years Later”
The first promises for the Beetlejuice sequel have been made. Now I’ve been told that this is what I’m going to get, I’ll probably blow a gasket if I don’t. So, here’s what the new film’s screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith has pledged: The star of the movie has to be Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, and it’s…
And Finally… X-Men Gender Bending
Changing genders in the Xbooks has always been a bit of a theme. And I don’t just mean Mystique. But one CBR poster, timberoo, has taken this to a new science. Posting on those forums and his own DeviantArt page, he’s created a CG galley of X-Men as X-Women and vice versa.
Full Trailer For Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
Here’s the first full trailer for Mission : Impossible – Ghost Protocol. The set-up is nothing to write home/blog about (so let’s not bother) but the filmmaking looks mighty slick. Except for when they’ve broken into into pieces and put black frames in the middle. HD version available at Yahoo. This film marks the live…
Evil Dead Remake Details Reveal New Reason To Head Up To The Cabin
Though many of the basics will be essentially the same, it’s good to hear that the new Evil Dead movie will pack a few new tricks of its own. The film is being represented at the AFM at the moment, where an official blurb has been released. Perhaps inevitably, this contains spoilers for those who…

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…
