Thursday Twilight New Moon, Doctor Who, Apple iPhone, New, Sex, Free And Chocolate
Yesterday morning, Leicester Square (where I'm doing some freelance) looked like this. Children and the occasional mother queuing for the Twilight: New Moon premiere ten hours later.

Remember the comic shop opening news story we linked to the other day? CJ Comics in Old Bridge? Well, it seems a can of worms has been opened up.
On the Central Jersey newspaper thread, there are allegations of a sexual nature towards the owner, that the shop is not new, it's just a publicity stunt, that the owner was previously the landlord of the old shop and never an old comics fan and a whole blog dedicated to the whole previous situation.

Watchmensch. my little Watchmen parody that could, is already up at PanelFly in black and white and will be going up at Comixology in colour any day now, courtesy of the man who used to co-publish and colour the covers of Dirtbag and X-Flies, Mike Meyer – but it also is being published as its own standalone App, with a brand new comics reader, the Weasel Reader, for the iPhone designed by the people of iBuddha.
And, well, it's rather a revelation, preserving much of the actual reading experience in a brand new format. And I understand the good folk at iBuddha will be interested talking with others publishers over how they can help improve their customer's reading experiences.

Warren Ellis has retweeted that Global Frequency may be returning to television with The CW funding a new pilot, written by Scott Nimerfro. The original 2005 Warner Bros pilot was terribly Fringe-y, and since JJ Abrams show it's possible comparisons may be made… just insert swearing, that should do the trick!

Eddie Campbell hits the Wall Street Journal...
There's a new book coming out next year called "The Playwright," which is about the sex life of a celibate, middle aged man. There's a lot of wanking in it. I don't know how you'd translate that for the Wall Street Journal.
