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…

Wednesday Runaround – Porn, New 52 And Gareb Shamus
MarvelWatch: Kiel Phelgley runs through Marvel’s current publishing line up in the light of cancellations and mini-series foreshortening (though still no mention of Villains United.) VividWatch: Vivid SuperXXXHeroes is a new porn mag covering Vivid’s superhero porn parody movies. It will come with a DVD sampler of a number of their titles, as well as…
Marvel Spoils Fantastic Four #600 In National News. SPOILERS Obviously.
In an arranged news release with the Associated Press, and as Bleeding Cool warned you, Marvel Comics has released news concerning the contents of Fantastic Four #600. Althoigh, in a twist from form, they have released the spoiler for the Wednesday of release, rather than the Monday before… It has been picked up by CBS…
Tuesday Trending Topics: DC, Kindle Fire, And The Digital Dilemma
Have to admit I bought a DC graphic novel on the Kindle Fire last night as soon as I saw they were available, just to see what it was like (the Fire’s Kindle app is not nearly as polished as a comic reader as Comixology is, but it’s adequate and I’m sure they’ll keep iterating…
Fools and Their Money
It’s morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money. – W.C. Fields In my time with Wizard as price guide/Market Watch editor and occasional feature writer, I was surprisingly given a lot of editorial leeway, and used that to promote creators and projects whenever possible that did not fit the traditional Wizard mold….
And Finally… Another Mike Golden Cover For Avengers Annual #10
It has the first appearance of Rogue. We have the history of Carol Danvers. Chris Claremont writes, Mike Golden pencils. And it has a shockingly bad cover… But what if… Marvel had published one of Michael Golden’s other choices… here’s a more recent take by Golden on that classic issue.
When Mini-Buzz Lightyear Met Mini-Zurg
The new Toy Story short, Small Fry, will be playing in American cinemas today,* just ahead of the second coming of Kermit.** This image comes from the Toy Story Facebook page. *By today I mean Wednesday 23rd. Which it is in the UK. So, today. Even though I’m talking about the US. **Okay, not second,…
Amazing Prometheus Images – The Giant Head, The Ampule Room And Several Characters
This week’s print edition of Entertainment Weekly contains some interesting new images from Ridley Scott‘s forthcoming sci-fi Prometheus, so naturally they weren’t going to remain just in print for long. Here they are in an easily viewable-on-screen format for those of you with a chronic fear of papercuts. Thanks to Bloody Disgusting and Dread Central…
Now Is The Time To Go DVD And Blu-Ray Shopping Crazy
Here’s a list of Blu-rays that you can currently snap up for under $10 in the pre-emptive, proto-Black Friday deals at Amazon. You’ll find more by clicking around from these deals, but this selection are my favourites: X-Men: First Class – $9.99 Pulp Fiction – $8.99 Jackie Brown – $8.99 Inglourious Basterds – $9.49 Peter…
How Reese Witherspoon’s New Film Could Go Horribly Wrong (With Optional Custard Pie)
So the big news today (for a given value of “big”) is that a forthcoming Reese Witherspoon comedy fantasy film called Wish List has acquired a screenwriting team: Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, best known for writing the Kung Fu Panda films and many episodes of King of the Hill. Here’s the premise of the…
Rachel Nichols And Zoe Bell In Raze – “Female Fight Club Meets Hostel”
The Twitter account for Raze describes the film as “Female Fight Club meets Hostel” but watching this early promo trailer, I thought more of Tsukamoto Shinya’s Haze and Bergman’s Persona (and, for a second, Samuel Beckett’s Not I, but that’s probably just me). Several stills have turned up at the film’s official site. They keep…
Richard LaGravenese’s Beautiful Creatures Still Alive After All This Time
It’s been pretty much two years since Alcon Entertainment announced that Richard LaGravenese, screenwriter of The Fisher King, would be writing and directing Beautiful Creatures, a feature adaptation of the novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. From the book’s Amazonblurb: Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen,…
60 Seconds With Daniel Radcliffe And The Woman In Black
This extended TV spot for The Woman in Black was cut to fit in a 60 second slot. I wish there were a lot more trailers like this. Indeed, I’d turn up half an hour early for any movie if I was going to get 30 of these end-to-end before hand.* The Woman in Black…

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…
