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…

Danny Trejo Is Epic Beard Man In The First Trailer For Bad Ass
In February of 2010, a video was uploaded to YouTube showing a heated verbal disagreement on a public bus spilling over into terrible violence. The de facto star of this clip was a sextagenarian with a memorable beard and a T-shirt proclaiming that he is a m*therf*cker. At this stage it’s probably easier if you…

Friday Trending Topics: Dark Knight Rises Easter Eggs For Christmas
Good job by Brendon in discussing (and debunking, where necessary) the little clues that have come to light in various Dark Knight Rises marketing this year. I will always half think that the Superman symbol hidden in the poster is a true thing, though, even if it wasn’t specifically mandated by Christopher Nolan or…
A Very Close Look At The Trailer For Prometheus – Some Things You May Have Missed
The trailer for Prometheus had been a long time coming, and well teased too, but it’s been with us for a few days now. And having had the chance to live with it a little, I’m still as absolutely fascinated as I was when the first footage rolled at Comic-Con in the summer. But that…
A Very Bleeding Cool Christmas Day
It’s getting a bit sludgy in comic book news right now. It’s all about lists of the year, creator Christmas cards, discussions on what has been, and what will be, and people going home for the holidays. Well, Bleeding Cool will try and buck that trend. For a start, on Christmas Eve, it’s a return…
Superb New Trailer And Intriguing Concept Art For John Carter
Andrew Stanton has made it very clear that he thinks Pixar’s way of making movies is superior to the standard model for live action feature production. This would begin, I’d imagine, in the pre-production and concept art stages – though don’t ask me for the fine differences between preliminary design for a live action film…
Is This The Return Of Daniel Way And Clayton Crain’s Ant Man MAX? (UPDATE)
It was solicited for 2003 and 2004. An Ant Man Mature Readers six issue mini-series by Daniel Way and Clayton Crain. You can see the solicitations here, still on the Marvel website. And then…nothing. The book was “indefinitely delayed” In an old interview with The Pulse, Daniel Way declared that he didn’t care about…

The Year In Dark Knight Rises Easter Eggs And Clues – Both Real And Imagined
Before we get to the more sensible claims of Easter Eggs and possible clues hidden in the marketing materials for The Dark Knight Rises, let’s have a look at a couple of utterly preposterous and truly befuddling bits of conspiracy theory. Or, to put it another way, let’s start by checking for hidden references to…

Here are the two customizable retailer covers for Avengers Assemble #1.

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…
