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…

Christina Hendricks Moving In To Join Elle Fanning And Alice Englert In Bomb
Bomb, eh? That’s one of those film titles like, say, Superbad or Cop Out that seems immediately destined for a mocking reference on some old bod’s film review radio show.* “It reviews itself,” he’ll say. He always does. Yes. Well. I’d actually say Bomb stands every chance of coming together. It has been written, and…
Whedon-less Buffy Do-Over Might Be Headed To The Dumpster
A year or so ago, untested screenwriter Whit Anderson took up the task of rewriting Buffy the Vampire Slayer. To make her job especially hard, the limited rights being held meant that she couldn’t draw on, or be seen to wander into, the material Joss Whedon had created for the TV series. Anderson was bound…
The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Sweded: Explosive Cardboard Action
Following on from the success of their “sweded” trailer for The Avengers, bryanharley and friends have created an astounding reproduction of the recently released trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. And yes, they take the opportunity to have a dig at Bane’s voice. A few thoughts occur whilst watching this. I’ve decided that I would take…
Fox News Asks “Who’d Be A Superhero?”
Fox News’ The Five discuss the Republican Presidential candidates all picking Superman as the superhero they’d like to be (aside from Ron Paul who dismissed the question)… and then look to their own superhero inspirations…
When Is A Black Character Not A Black Character?
From the Cookie Baking Bitch tumblr So in Red Hood and the Outlaws, Crux is a black man who turns into a giant green monster. And, in Teen Titans, Skitter is a black woman who turns into a grotesque arachnid-like being. Scott Lobdell, what in the actual fuck were you thinking? The comments back her…
Trailer For Channel 4′s New Phone Hacking Satire
“The ginger prince must have been up to something!” Actually not all that much, so why not insert a nice topical joke about that fancy dress swastika scandal… from seven years ago. Channel 4 have released a clip from their new phone hacking satire show Hacks, based on the recent controversy surrounding the News of…

Still shopping for Christmas presents? If you are, and are looking for some great Golden Age bargains, you missed out on a great week for collectors. Leading off, we have some humor titles, starting with Paramount Animated Comics. While multiple characters graced the earliest covers, the book formed a clear focus around just one by…
Who Will Create The Spider-Man Movie Adaptation???
The Hachette Marvel catalogue for May to August 2012 has been published with plenty of interesting titbits. You’ll all have your own favourites. Mine I think however is the Marvel Comics adaptation of the new Amazing Spider-Man movie for June. Which has the honour of collecting the so-far-unsolicited Amazing Spider-Man: The Movie #1-4, written…
SCOOP: Disney’s Frozen Is An Animated Version Of The Snow Queen
Reports are bobbing around the internet that Pixar’s Untitled Dinosaur film has been titled Frozen. Well, it hasn’t. The confusion comes from the fact that Frozen has been given the date previously earmarked for the Dinosaur film – November 27th, 2013. That project has now been shunted aside though it will, I’m sure, will find…
Batgirl Logos That Could Have Been – Rian Hughes Designs For The New 52
Rian Hughes is best known by many as the artist on Grant Morrison’s Dare. But these days his influence is all around us, a specialist in design, logos, and commenrcial illustration. Which happens to include a bunch of stuff for Marvel and DC. He’s also designed the logos for Forbidden Planet, Gosh Comics and Archaia….

In 1977, comic book dealer Chuck Rozanski unearthed the most important comic book collection that the world will ever know. 18,000 comics from the late 1930s to the early 1950s — the earliest days of American comic books — in unimaginably high grade condition.

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…
