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.

More Watchmen Art The Lawyers Won’t Touch
Thanks to Simon Rohrmuller, the artist on Watchmensch (and an upcoming project with me about to be announced) for the following from his own collection, to back up the post earlier today… Andy Park Francis Manapul Peter Steigerwald Tim Sale Micah Gunnell Mark Bagley George Perez Terry Moore To my knowledge, none of these folk…
When Tom Warburton Draws One Piece
From the new Shonen Jump, here is one piece of One Piece fan art sent in and published, drawn by one Tom Warburton, creator of the popular Cartoon Network show Codename: Kids Next Door, showing a few familiar faces…
2011′s Biggest Box Office Flops, When Calculated On A Per-Screen Basis
Another way of looking at box office failure yields an all-new list of bombs. There’s a horror movie, an Oscar hopeful and a comics-to-film adaptation…
When DC And Marvel Were Less Litigious
He may be the law. But this particular advert for Judge Dredd in 2000AD, by Mike McMahon and Brian Bolland, may cause a trademark lawyer a heart attack these days. Thankfully it was from a more innocent time… Courtesy of Steve Cook.
These Twenty Five Films Have Been Selected For Immortality By The Library Of Congress
At the end of every year, twenty five movies are selected for the American Library of Congress seal of approval. These pictures are promised eternal life via preservation and their inclusion on this roster of cinematic top dogs. Well, at least until the giant asteroid comes. Here’s this year’s full list of 25 picks with…
Watchmen Art They Can’t Stop Us Posting
On Christmas Day Bleeding Cool posted art from the upcoming Watchmen prequels from DC Comics – and we received a cease and desist note from DC Comics on the same day. Possibly a first. I blame Bob Wayne. Anyway, while we have been asked not to show JG Jones’ Comedian or Andy and Joe Kubert’s…
Cerebus To Go Digital In 2012 – If Dave Sim Can Get Some Answers
On the new Cerebus TV episode, premiering on Bleeding Cool, Dave Sim first talks about Darwyn Cooke and his work, with a Cerebus TV interview with Darwyn, where he talks about the potential of digital comics. And, as Dave Sim reveives copies of the Zootanapuss variant cover of Glamourpuss to sign, we see Cerebus artwork…
Supercrooks Prelude In March’s CLiNT
Let me get this right. This is a teaser trailer for a preview of a comic book. I think that’s correct. A prelude Supercrooks story by Mark Millar (and, by absentia, not Leinil Yu) will appear in March’s copy of CLiNT magazine and, apparently, won’t appear anywhere else. Though I’ll bet you it will appear…
Ten Thoughts About Ten Image Comics – Artifacts, Godland, Green Wake, Hack Slash, Haunt, Mad Man, Monster Trucks, Tales From Beyond Science, Witch Doctor
What can I say, the arrival of DC Comics titles into the UK has been delayed this week. Not to worry, because I did get to look at all the Image titles… Now, you know those “Previously On Buffy” one page summaries at the beginning of comic books to help new readers get up to…
Clues About Plotline For Star Trek Sequel In Today’s Comic
If you’ve been keeping up to date with the Star Trek movie tie-in comics you may already know that production of the comics is overseen by Roberto Orci, co-writer and producer of J.J. Abrams’ 2009 reboot. With Orci’s help the comics have been outlining the adventures that occur between the end of the first movie…
Thirteen Moments From Today’s DC Comics
Comics don’t get to the UK until tomorrow this week. Thankfully, I do have someone on hand to give me the inside track. 1. This week, Voodoo brings us tentacle porn. And will give those offended by an overabundance of black shapeshifters something new to interpret. 2. Superman is again more of a prose novel…

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…
