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…

Ben Wheatley On The Particular Filmmaking Techniques Of Kill List, Freak Shift And I, Macrobane
When the UK’s bricks-and-mortar DVD and Blu-ray stores re-open their doors on Boxing Day morning (assuming, you know, that they’re still in business) I should imagine that one of the most popular ways for film geeks to spend their fresh vouchers will be on a copy of Ben Wheatley’s Kill List. For reasons that will…

THR reports that Stan Lee is to create a new comic book character for the Indian marketplace, Chakra – The Invincible. A Mumbai-born teenage technical whizz, Raju Rai who gets bitten by a radioactive spider uses his skills to build a special suit that activates the body’s Chakras in new and explosive fashions.

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus – The Trailer
It looks like the actual, real Prometheus trailer has leaked – as opposed to been bootlegged, which it was, a handful of times, in terrible quality. But now it looks good. I’m sure it will look even better when Apple open up their HD streams later. I’ll update when they do. UPDATE: They did. Now…

Jonathan Ross’ pre-Christmas show, which this year will feature the cast of The Inbetweeners, Tom Cruise and actors from Downton Abbey, also would have featured a merry Christmas tune written and performed by musical comedian Tim Minchin. However, ITV have chosen to cut the song from the show entirely due to fears that it was…
Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry And Madonna Go Back To School In Batman Leviathan Strikes!
Knowing that Batman: Leviathan Strikes! published yesterday from DC Comics would be set in St Hadrian’s did bring to mind images of a St Trinian’s girls school where the pupils are taught in the most extreme subjects possible. And knowing that the comic would feature the blonde Stephanie Brown going back to high school in…

We know that Stuart Moore is writing a prose novel version of Civil War for 2012. Well two other prose novels are coming out from Marvel in May, aimed at a Young Readers audience.

Trailer For Bel Ami – “Dangerous Liaisons For A New Generation”
I’m not sure I like the idea that young ‘uns won’t be okay with Dangerous Liaisons as we know it, but the first trailer for Bel Ami has turned up online with a blurb that promises: A timeless epic with a modern twist. A Dangerous Liaisons for a new generation. I think that means we’re…

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…
