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…

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. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…

Saturday Trending Topics: We Know If You’ve Been Bad Or Good
So be good for comics’ sake. And you’ve all been very good this year, indeed. Rich wrapped some presents earlier, and has them ready for Christmas. He and I were joking earlier that Christmas day was the only day of the year we could run this without crushing the server, but having had a peek…
Stan Lee On Chuck 5.07 (VIDEO)
Stan Lee, as a Los Angeles spy, on last night’s Chuck. Suddenly somewhere, Warren Ellis is suddenly thinking of writing a new and even stranger issue of Desolation Jones.
Two More Trailers For Battleship – One From Japan, Another With Director’s Commentary
This new, international trailer for Battleship has surfaced and reveals, I suppose, how you sell a movie like this in Japan.* Rather as you would in America. The specifics were very different but the appeal was just the same. And while we’re here, there’s another version of the first trailer that’s very much worth watching….
Thor 2 Gets A New Director For Christmas
Alan Taylor, a long time TV director and the man who made mid-90s indie hit Palookaville, has been handed the reins of Thor 2. Marvel previously appointed Patty Jenkins, but she and the studio parted ways amidst some controversy. I remember Taylor’s other feature Palookaville quite well. It was a kind of caper comedy with…
Afterwards They Will Explode – Carol Of The Guns
Merry Christmas! It is officially Christmas Day in the UK now. Ho ho ho. And to celebrate, here is Patrick Willems’ new video for Bleeding Cool, giving a very Christmassy accent to the action film. Yippee-kay-yay, muddy funster.
Those Venom Valentine Cards In Full
Yes I know it’s Christmas Eve and here I am blathering on about Valenetine’s Day. But a few weeks ago, Bleeding Cool told you that Marvel would be issuing promotional Valentine’s Day Cards tied to retailers’ orders if the Venom Circle Of Four storyline, with five issues of Venom shipping in February. We didn’t have…
The Dune Comic That Never Was
A couple years ago, Matt Bellisle was approached by Bluewater Comics to help them with a pitch they were doing for Frank Herbert’s Dune series. He writes about it for Bleeding Cool; I assumed they had writers and artists already lined up for the main part of their proposal, but I was asked to contribute…
Alan Moore To Read Thought For The Day On BBC Radio 4
It was partially my fault, in that I’d approached Alan Moore on behalf of the BBC’s Today programme several years ago. Lost Girls was to be published, Alan Moore’s magnum opus with his new wife Melinda Gebbie, that told sexualised stories for classic children’s literature. And naturally the moral guardians were outraged. Moore and Gebbie…
Will The New Year Bring Us A $1000 Chew #1?
A couple of weeks ago a CGC slabbed signed Chew #1 9.8 sold for $909 on eBay. Was it a complete and total fluke? No, no it wasn’t. This week a copy of Chew #1 slabbed at 9.9 by CBC signed by just by John Layman sold for $850. Chew has been probably Image’s biggest…

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…
