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.

VIDEO: Bleeding Cool Meets Robin Williams, George Miller And More At The Happy Feet 2 Premiere
At the weekend, I went to the UK premiere of Happy Feet 2, which I’m delighted to say is as idiosyncratic and ambitious as its predecessor. It’s out here on December 2nd, so while we don’t have any Muppets on the horizon, I’m tipping the penguins as the Christmas family film of choice for the…
Wednesday Trending Topics: Spoiling Thanksgiving
Plenty of spoilers out in the world this week, and again it’s a topic of comics internet conversation, as it always is when Marvel has a major media-friendly release. I think at this point we all know we have to avoid the internet when we can’t consume entertainment in near-real-time — though pre-release leaks in…
Flight Of The Conchords Are “Gonna Try And Do A Movie”
Back in 2009, a statement appeared on the official Flight of the Conchords website: We’ve noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a third season….
Oh Dear, Oh Dear: Mirror Mirror Marketing Team Resorts To Astroturfing To Sell Tickets

Star Trek Sequel To Be “Made In 3D”, Due May 2013
I assume that by saying JJ Abrams is “going to be making the movie in 3D”, Deadline‘s piece on the Star Trek sequel is referring to it being shot in the format and not post converted. Of course, post production is as much the making of a film as its production, unless we’re talking about…
Police Drop All Charges Against Phoenix Jones
Publicola reports that they were priveleged to be the ones to tell Ben Fodor, better known as real life super hero, Phoenix Jones, that the city were dropping all charges against him. Arrested for pepper spraying a number of people in Seattle at night, which he defended by explaining he was coming to the aid…

America! Watch The Best Film Of The Year (So Far) For Just $0.99
Right now, Amazon in the US are offering online rentals of Attack the Block for just $0.99. Clearly, that’s an offer too good to pass up. I think it’s the best film I’ve seen this year – so far at least – but lots of other people have shared their enthusiasm for the film too:…
A Look At John Carter’s Reinvented Great White Ape
I’ve seen the scene portrayed in this still image a couple of times now – once at Big Screen, once at a presentation with co-writer and director Andrew Stanton a couple of weeks ago. In both cases it was the last scene shown. In both cases it was easily the least of the scenes shown….
Full Blurb For The Christmas Doctor Who – The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe
The BBC have revealed the full plot blurb for this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special and, yes, it sounds very Christmassy. It’s Christmas Eve, 1938, when Madge Arwell comes to the aid of an injured Spaceman Angel as she cycles home, in this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, starring Matt Smith as the Doctor. He…
What Comics Will You Be Buying On November 30th – If Any?
This week the shelves are full of comics. DC have large dump of the third issues of their relaunch titles, Marvel give you Xbooks, Ultimate and Fantastic Four comics aplenty. Next week though, it’s a relative barren desert. None of the relaunch titles, Marvel have only got one comic with Wolverine in it (and it’s…

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…
