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…

Silk Spectre Art By Amanda Conner – Happy New Year
UPDATE: This artwork in question has been moved, after a legal letter from Amy E Genkins of DC Comics. Bleeding Cool has complied with her request. So I get another late night phone call. “Look in your inbox”. The phone goes dead. I only went to bed two hours ago, but I grab my iPad…
A Happy New 2012 To All At Bleeding Cool
Thanks for Chase Variant artist Bagwell for that one. It’s 4pm in Los Angeles, it’s 6pm in Rantoul, Illinois, it’s 7pm in New York, but in London, home of Bleeding Cool, it’s midnight. That’s right we’re already in the future. The robot jet packs are aces. In 2012, there should be seven comics out with…
101 Films From 2011 That You Really Shouldn’t Have Missed
I think 2011 has turned out to be a vintage year with well on the way to 200 hundred new releases that I thought were easily worth the time and money that I spent on them. I’ve whittled that list down to the 101 films I think movie buffs should catch up with, for one…

Is There A Watchmen 2 Reference In Justice League #3?
When Bleeding Cool first talked about the recent revival of the Watchmen prequel mini-series, we mentioned that the project was being referred to internally at DC Comics amongst select individuals as “Panic Room”. One Little Bleeder pointed out a page from Justice League #3 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, the chief creative officer and…
Meet Nicholas Mowdy, AKA Snickers19510, An Aspiring Artist, Rob Granito-Style
Using the name Snickers19510 over on Etsy, an “artist” named Nicholas Mowdy has some amazing artwork for sale at dirt cheap prices. For example, there’s this awesome rendition of Superman and Batman that he has posted for sale for only $20. Hmm… that looks awfully familiar. Almost like this: Francis Manapul noticed too, tweeting late…
Alan Moore, Lois Lane And Princess Leia Covered In Sperm
At the recent Nine Lessons And Carols For Godless People service, Alan Moore gave an address, dressed in a T-shirt modelled on the Superman logo, rewritten as “Sperm”. It’s a Rick Veitch design, and is on sale here. Of course, he’s not the only one who has been seen modelling it…
Swipe File: Ultimates 2 Vs Natalie Imbruglia
We all know that Nick Fury in Marvel’s Ultimates series was based on Samuel L Jackson, so much, that Samuel would play the man in the Marvel Studios movies, and will star in the upcoming Avengers movie. But did anyone notice another lookalike in the Ultimates cast? Little Bleeder Mike Powell did, when rerading the…

Friday Trending Topics: Revisiting The Strange Visitor From Another Planet
Rich nails it in his post on what makes New 52 Action Comics #5 so potentially interesting. Action Comics volume 1 number 1 page 1 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster is the big bang of the comic book multiverse. It’s the start of everything we know, and evidence of it can be detected everywhere…
The Film And TV Folk On The Queen’s New Year Honours List For 2012

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…
