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 Justice League Comic With Over Five Million Copies In Print
Justice League #1 was the sales highlight of the New DCU with copies sold getting closer and closer to that half million spot.

Friday Trending Topics: Black Friday In ComicLand
Well, it’s official… we’re in the Holiday Zone. That dimension where time has no meaning, weekends stretch on forever (and somehow, you tire of them) and holiday activities are constantly on the edge of your perception. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit…

Full Trailer For Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror Episode One: The National Anthem
When Bleeding Cool saw the first episode of Black Mirror, we were told to keep certain things secret. Some of them can be inferred from this trailer. Still, there’s an awful lot it doesn’t give away. So… what do they want the PM to do as ransom? That’s the big zinger. I hope nobody spoils…
A Great (Retro) Manga/Anime Gift Guide by Erica Friedman
Erica Friedman writes for Bleeding Cool; I’m staring at my pile of to-watch and to-read anime and manga and I can’t but help notice that there are a lot of familiar titles among the mix. And, as it’s that time of year again, at which Americans decide what matching pen and pencil set to get…
New John Carter Images To Tease Next Week’s New Trailer
Ahead of next week’s longer second trailer for John Carter, Disney have released a series of new images from the film. Many stills are not, but these look like frames of the movie, possibly even the trailer. I’ve seen almost twenty minutes of the film. Let’s say it was twenty, just to round it off…
Ben Whishaw Playing Q In New Bond Movie, Skyfall – So Expect Gadgets
Rumours that Miss Moneypenny is going to be introduced to the Daniel Craig Bondverse by Sam Mendes’ Skyfall are, as yet, unconfirmed, but we’re doing better with Q.

Sweden Gets Its First Superhero
For all of its love of The Phantom, Spider-Man and Donald Duck spinoffs, Sweden has never had its own, its very own superhero. It may possibly be the only nation in the world not to have had one at some point. That has changed this year with Agent Marc Saunders. Written and drawn by Mikael…

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…
