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…

The New Trailer For John Carter, As Aired On Good Morning America
The first full trailer for Andrew Stanton‘s John Carter has premiered on Good Morning America, punctuating an interview with star Taylor Kitsch. This isn’t the ideal way to watch this footage, but it’s a start. The official online premiere for the trailer is set for later on today. I’ll be sure to bring it to…
When Gaiman, Millar, Milligan, Abnett And Grant Wrote Judge Dredd Prose Stories…
Rebellion have launched a 2000AD ebook containing short prose stories by Neil Gaiman, Mark Millar, Peter Miligan, Dan Abnett, Alan Grant and more. Originally appearing in 2000AD and Judge Dredd annuals, they have never been reprinted until now. The story by Neil Gaiman that gives the book its title, Sweet Justice, is one of his…
Abel Ferrara To Write DSK Movie For Gerard Depardieu And Isabelle Adjani
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former managing director of the International Monetary Fund, often called himself DSK, and the media followed suit. This summer, those three letters were slapped over newspapers worldwide as Strauss-Kahn was forced out of the IMF, not to mention the running for the French Presidency, after allegations of sexual assault. I’ve chosen, almost…
Four Thoughts About Four DC Comics On Fifth Week
DC really have to do something about this fifth week thing. By scheduling all of the New 52 to the first four weeks of the month, when there are five weeks in a month, things are really lacking. The next time this happens is in February, and DC seem to have shifted more of the…
The Stock Exchange – Selling Superman For Super Dollars
By the end of the day today, one of the most impressive Superman collections assembled in one auction will close, with the highlight being an much discussed Action Comics #1, graded 9.0 by CGC, making it the highest graded copy to go up for sale. In March of last year, a CGC 8.5 copy sold…
Full Length Lizard – Is This An Early Look For Spider-Man’s Next Nemesis?
I wouldn’t have been sceptical about the provenance of this image had it turned up 36 hours ago. You see, this picture does match up very nicely with the Lizard as I’ve seen him in full CG, bursting out of a bathroom stall and terrorising teenage girls. But it also matches up to the Pez…
Now George Pérez Is To Draw An Issue Of Supergirl
He left Superman to draw a fill-in issue of Birds Of Prey, before his next big project. But it looks like he’ll be squeezing in an issue of Supergirl as well. George Pérez writes; “Just submitted the plot to SUPERMAN #6, my final issue. Now I have to dialogue Issue 5 (working over Nicola Scott’s…
Best Camera Test Ever – But Canon Didn’t Think It Was Funny
Camera tests are pretty widespread on the internet now that we can share video at very high quality. I would no longer dream of buying a new camera without watching it put through its paces and seeing what it can do. Most camera tests are quite samey, and for somebody not particularly interested in cinematography,…
The Strange Woman Of The New 52 A Little Easier To Spot In Today’s Tiny Titans
Oh, Alt Baltazar and Franco, you are wags… this is certainly my favourite appearance of Strange to date. Those of you missing the New 52 this week, you have to buy Tiny Titans #46. It’s destined to be a classic. Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London.
Snooping Around Inside Aardman – Bleeding Cool Goes On An Adventure With Pirates!
As someone who grew up watching Wallace and Gromit shorts, and later their feature films like Chicken Run, you can imagine my excitement when I was asked by my taskmaster Brendon to do a tour of one of Aardman’s studios down in Bristol. I was slightly less excited when I was told that as part of the…
Wednesday Runaround – From My Sick Bus
FluWatch: They say there’s one way to tell if you have a cold or flu. That if there’s a fifty pound/hundred dollar note on the ground outside, you wouldn’t go and get it. Well, fifty quid be damned, but I have got the bus into town for New Comic Day. Bleeurgh. ShopWatch: Niche Comics, a…
Go West – Bon Alimagno Leaves Marvel
Two years after joining Marvel as a talent director after being a director of publishing at Harris Comics, Bon Alimagno is off again. He has quit his job at Marvel (unusual to leave voluntarily these days I know) for, I understand, a tech firm in San Francisco. He tells Bleeding Cool; “I’ve worked with the most…

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…
