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…

Monday Runaround – Terrorists, Condoms And Nooks
NookVsFireWatch: Which is better for reading comics? Nook or Fire? “Unlike the Fire, the Nook Tablet can pinch to zoom in those spots of artwork that require closer inspection or pieces of text that are just too small to read with the page at full-size. However, the Fire’s panel-by-panel reading method is really the ideal…
Sunday Trending Topics: Strike An Avenging Pose
We keep seeing glimpses of the potential of this concept. First there was Coelasquid vs Finch on that Justice League #1 cover, then there was BC’s photo contest based on that idea, and now we’ve got today’s top post based on an Avengers movie promo image.

Five Thoughts About Misfits 3.5 – Kelly’s Heroes
Another week, another chance to stay up and watch a new episode of Misfits. Obviously, spoilers, spoiler everywhere, as far as I can see. Especially the second-to-last photo and commentary.

The Muppets’ Appearance On X-Factor
Olly Murs was lucky enough to share the stage with some Muppets for his performance of Dance With Me Tonight on The X-Factor this evening. Highlight: when Animal starts contributing to the backing vocals. Needs more cowbell Kermit. Incidentally, the description on the X-Factor YouTube page refers to Animal as “Monster”. Tsk. Kids today. ps…
What If The Male Avengers Posed Like The Female One?
Kevin Bolk has painted a reappropriation of an existing Avengers movie promotional image. Now, it’s all of the guyvengers turn to go for Brokeback poses. Is The Hulk doing Blue Steel? In case you don’t remember it, here’s the original: Thanks to Cracked for the heads up.
Nifty Featurette On The Muppets’ Sound And Music
In some cinemas, The Muppets is playing in 7.1 surround. That’s not the only interesting thing about the film’s audio, as this new featurette from The Soundworks Collection will demonstrate. Just some reasons why I’m looking forward to seeing, and hearing, The Muppets.

Terrence Davies To Try To Film Sunset Song Again
It’s been the best part of ten years since I heard Terrence Davies was wanting to make a film from Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s Sunset Song, the first in his Scots Quair trilogy of novels. The film was announced at Cannes in 2003, with some hype given to a planned “world wide search” for the suitable…
Where In The World Is Coast City?
The DC Universe is a mix of fictional and real places. You have Metropolis and Gotham, you also have New York. And various cartographers have tried to make sense of it all. But the opening page of I, Vampire may have thrown an interesting temporal spanner into the work. You see we have Boston on…
Swipe File – Justice League Dark And Deviant Art (UPDATE)
Here is the opening two panels of last week’s Justice League Dark, by Peter Milligan and Mikel Janin.

VIDEO: Todd Haynes’ Masterclass Is Epic And Engaging
This video runs for almost two and a half hours, and presents the entirety of Todd Haynes‘ masterclass from the 12th Queer Film Festival in Prague. I’m only twenty five minutes in, but Haynes is an interesting man, his body of work bears this level of discussion, easily, and seeing as its Sunday, and you…
Vin Diesel’s Shut-Down Riddick Film Gets Back On Track But The Crew Are Still Unpaid
Production on Vin Diesel and David Twohy‘s next Riddick picture had come to halt when cast, including Diesel and Katee Sackhoff, and the crew were shut out of a Montreal studio, arriving one morning to find the locks had been changed. This was at the tail end of October, when the studio’s owner told TMZ…

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…
