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.

Batman’s iPod Dock, With Built-In Taser
Courtesy of the bizarrely-named Obama Pacman, here is a look at the iPod/iPhone dock, with built-in taser, inspired by Batman. As for how it works, here is what Armstar has to say about it: The user determines they need to activate the arc device, then pull out the safety pin. The user then presses their…

So there’s this website. Wonder Woman Foundation, run by a Joseph Armour. Inspired by the DC character, this is its mission.

Will We Get A Puppet President For 2012?
From Jim Henson Company and Nerdist. A very modern American Presidential candidate, where it’s very clear who is pulling the screens.
A Very Merry Womanthology Christmas
People who had backed the Kickstarter-funded Womanthology volume received a rather splendid Christmas present this morning, ahead of the finished printed volume. A digital offering, over 40 pages long, of Christmas-related female-formed comics, illustrations and prose, only for those who funded the project. Here’s a few examples… By Devin Grayson and Sally Stone…
Holmes And Adler Get Naked – More Trailers For The BBC’s Sherlock
Sherlock doesn’t really need the hype, but it’s good to make sure absolutely everybody knows it is back. So they’ve had the BBC trailer department working overtime, not to mention one of those anagram creator websites. Here’s the fruits of their labour, bare Sherlock bits and all: It all kicks off at 8.10pm on BBC…
The MacGyver Pitches That Weren’t
Earlier this year, Bleeding Cool helped Tony Lee and Image Comics find a new artist to replace Becky Cloonan on the MacGyver comic book. And yesterday we reported that a winner had been found, Will Sliney. But who else pitched for the series? Here are a few examples – and they might just be available…

Friday Runaround – Hate, Prose And Suicide
TweetWatch: “Just read some HATEFUL things said about me by DC in interview. Knifed my day. Apparently, Flash and Kingdom Come were terrible. Who knew?” – Mark Waid ProseWatch: I talked to author Joe Caramagna about the two Young Adult Spider-Man novels he’s been writing, which Bleeding Cool first talked about yesterday. We noted that…
Thursday Trending Topics: Prometheus
Now here’s a movie I’m really looking forward to. Gotta say that the Hobbit trailer didn’t wow me (yeah, I know, I’m the only one on the internet who feels that way), but Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus looks… amazing. Can’t wait. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry And Madonna Go Back To School…
VIDEO: New Trailers For Underworld Awakening
The first of these trailers uses footage from previous Underworld films to create a sense of legacy; then there’s a trio of short TV spots; and a finally a new “theatrical” trailer set to play ahead of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in US cinemas.
Super Hi-Res Images From Pixar’s Brave And Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie
Go ahead and wallpaper yourself up with these images from Pixar and Tim Burton’s upcoming animated movies. I’ve seen about seven minutes of Frankenweenie and had a chance to explore the set and look at the models up close. Even still, I find this new image to be extraordinarily beautiful and alive. How can this…

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…
