Quick Thoughts: Weekly Twitter for 2009-07-19

  • Crazy: even though I’m disappointed w/ Flash:Rebirth at this point, I’m tempted to preorder the hardcover if $13.59 holds.
  • Last issue of Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds is on Diamond’s schedule for next week.
  • So very true: XKCD: Tab Explosion
  • Geocities users: check out OTW’s Geocities Rescue Project.
  • No escape. Latest alumni newsletter features “A Brief History of the Bowtie”
  • Help John Ostrander keep his eyesight: comix4sight.com
  • RT @karlkerschl: Drawing more gorillas! I will miss all of these gorillas when Wednesday Comics is finished.
  • *sigh* DC has pushed Flash: Rebirth #4 back another week to August 12.
  • Not going to a midnight showing of Harry Potter. Not even opening night. I’ll probably catch it this weekend, though.
  • Believe it or not, Fallen Angel: Reborn is the book I’m most looking forward to getting today.
  • Bought this week: Wednesday Comics, Fallen Angel: Reborn, Farscape: D’argo’s Lament, The Unknown. Sorry, sitting #BlackestNight out for now.
  • Didn’t pick up #BlackestNight #1, but did accept the freebie Black Lantern ring. Figure I’ll come up with something to do with it.
  • Pearls B4 Swine author: digital vs print comics “an artificial distinction.” Only 2 kinds of strips: funny & not-funny.
  • Fantastic photos of lightning striking water (via @BadAstronomer)
  • Saw headline: “They killed Hawkman!” First thought was in Rocket J. Squirrel voice: “Again?”

Quick Thoughts: Wednesday Comics #2

6:18:35 PM: Batman’s story is getting more intriguing

6:19:21 PM: Kamandi makes me want to re-read Tellos.

6:20:35 PM: I love the giant splash page on Metamorpho! (And the joke about a subscription to Element Dog!)

6:23:15 PM: That’s an awful lot of typos in Teen Titans for a one page story.

6:25:43 PM: It must suck to have only one soldier to defend your capital city.

6:29:04 PM: When I think “Wonder Woman,” I always think of a talking, glowing fish for a sidekick. (Okay, maybe not.)

6:33:27 PM: Whoa, awkward moment for Barry, Iris and Barry!

6:34:26 PM: The different coloring techniques stand out more this week, too.

6:35:49 PM: I can see a paradox brewin’, though.

6:36:57 PM: Hah! “Stately Blood Manor.”

6:41:47 PM: The Demon and the Cat. Yes, Demon and the Cat. One is a burglar, the other’s a prat.

6:45:55 PM: Hey, kids! Learn Hawkman’s secret sign language! You too can join the Junior JSA!

Quick Thoughts: Weekly Twitter for 2009-07-12 (including CCI Schedule)

  • RT @karlkerschl: Win a piece of original art! There’s a ‘Wednesday Comics’ contest on the ‘Abominable’ site.
  • Retweeting @weeklycrisis: Road to Blackest Night post is up.
  • I almost couldn’t get past the “Holy XYZ!” headline for this Wednesday Comics article.
  • Found some Golden-Age crack in an email from eBay. Will post tonight once I can check against an item in my collection. (And here it is!)
  • Bought this week: House of Mystery, Unwritten, Wednesday Comics & Wheel of Time: Eye of the World. Will prob read Wed & Unwritten first.
  • Wow…snarkiest review of Wednesday Comics – or rather, its format – that I’ve seen yet.
  • So, in addition to Flash: Rebirth, Batman Reborn, Captain America Reborn, and Fallen Angel Reborn, there’s Arkham Reborn.
  • Interesting thought: When was the last time a speedster other than the Flash or Impulse had an ongoing solo comic?
  • On another note: The Unwritten continues to be excellent.
  • EVS confirmed for Fan Expo Canada next month
  • RT @collecteditions: New Hallmark Flash ornament (Xmas in July, indeed!) looks like Barry, but says it’s Wally on the back of the box.
  • Getting really frustrated with I Tweet. If only Twidroid supported multiple accounts! As it is, I may juggle Twitter apps during SDCC
  • Flash: Rebirth #3 at #10 in rankings for June.
  • Counted pages in Flash: Rebirth #1: 30 story pages. No, $3.99 did not pay for the Power Girl preview. Why do people complain w/o checking?
  • Some nifty Flash (and other superhero) art here.
  • Would the Flash need pockets? He can always run home and grab anything he’s not carrying.

Comic-Con International Build-Up

  • Found 15 panels I’m interested in on Thursday #SDCC w/ way too much overlap. Will prob. have to pare down to 5 at most
  • Srsly, scheduling The Physics of Hollywood to overlap The Science Behind Science Fiction? Gonna have to go with @BadAstronomer
  • Most useful power for navigating SDCC: time travel. Never be late to a panel, no schedule conflicts, etc. (answering @theTVaholic)
  • Crowds would make super-speed less useful at SDCC than you might expect. Unless you have super-crowd-weaving too.
  • Comic-con resources for #followfriday: @Comic_Con (official), @SD_Comic_Con (news), @sdcomiccon (guide)
  • Comic-Con hashtag consensus looks like #sdcc rather than #comiccon, #cc09, or #cci09. You can rename the con, but the initials live on.
  • Argh! 9 overlaps w/ DC Nation! Really want to see 9, but feel obligated to hit DC!
  • Outbreak of common sense: SDCC moves Twilight up, making it possible to get into the Avatar presentation.
  • Still 2 other Hall H presentations b4 Twilight, tho. Seems like it would be obvious to put the most popular event first, but what do I know?

Quick Thoughts: Weekly Twitter for 2009-07-05

  • ComicBloc reduced to flaming about nicknames, bow tie, and Iris’ age. Better? Maybe. Feels like arguing abt what color the wheel should be
  • So Firefox, Safari and Opera all support webfonts now. Time to look into a good headline font.
  • Still not used to Wizard World Chicago going back to Chicago Comic-Con. Add in Big Apple & Toronto, & WW branding seems to be fading. #CCC
  • RT @SpeedsterSite: Jay Garrick confirmed to be “featured” in CRY FOR JUSTICE.
  • Wally’s new costume now qualifies as a FAQ. No, it’s NOT the one in Last Days of Animal Man.
  • Looking up theaters in San Diego to see what’s on during #SDCC. It’s amazing how many of their websites seem to want to hide their location.
  • Oh, good, DC Nation is AFTER Flash Forward (no relation)! Maybe I can make it to both.
  • Back to Flash, I’d guess any big announcements will be either at the Geoff Johns spotlight Thursday or DC Nation Friday.
  • Wow. Retweeting @SpeedsterSite: Ethan Van Sciver: FLASH: REBIRTH #1 goes to 4th printing! Unbelievable! Thanks everyone. 🙂
  • Dear theaters: when you have a show at 12:00am Friday, PLEASE CLARIFY whether you mean it literally (Thursday evening) or Friday evening.
  • Huh. www.ask-the-question.net is an actual live website.
  • Hey, it’s still #followfriday here! Some comics writer-types: @MarkWaid, @GailSimone, @GeoffJohns0, @TomPeyer, @Matt_Sturges
  • Also the Flash in Wednesday Comics creative team of @KarlKerschl and @BrendenFletcher #followfriday
  • OK, Ghostbusters and Fellowship of the Ring have been watched, dishes have been washed, and I should probably go to bed…
  • Cool! Wish I had time to read the big update to the Unauthorized Chronology of the DCU.
