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.

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…

These done-in-one comic books, often written by Paul Tobin, were suitable for All Ages, thereby increasing their likelihood to be…

Saying Goodbye To Alejandro Arbona
It doesn’t happen often. An in-comic goodbye to someone at a comic publisher who has been made redundnant. Most companies are embarrassed by such things – they’ll say goodbye to people who have left of their own accord, to bigger, brighter things, but redundancy is different. But in last week’s Battle Scars, in the letters…
Stuart Moore To Adapt Marvel’s Civil War As A Novel
Stuart Moore was a DC editor for the Helix line, which launched amongst other things, Transmetropolitan. Working for Vertigo, he was then headhunted by the Jemas/Quesada Marvel and worked as both editor and writer there before setting up his own publishing venture. Of late, he’s been doing for doing a little bit here, a little…
The Sand Superman Conspiracy That Wasn’t.
It was a terribly engaging theory, that Superman was intended to have been replaced by a Sand creature back in 1988, as a possible get out to the Lois And Clark wedding. And only revealed when the annual in question was finaly printed many years later. Compiled by DB Hughes it was one of the…

Are The Apes Going To Speak In The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Sequel?
There’s a mix of science and science fiction in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and it’s hard to discuss the specific blend without wandering into spoilers. Suffice to say, the film features an entire cast of characters who are changing, and rapidly, and from what we know from the original films in the…
Simon And Alisha Won’t Return In Misfits Series Four
Warning. There are Spoilers for Misfits to follow. It has just started on Hulu.com in the USA, so many Americans are still to catch up. To that end, I’m going to write a paragraph to keep this off the front page of Bleeding Cool and the bit that gets quoted when they post this to…

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…
