TankWatch: A video trailer for the new Tank Girl series shipping in November.

SciverWatch: Ethan Van Sciver was seen at three separate booths at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con trying to find the nicest copy of World's Finest #142 he could… he also got a photo and signed headshot with Blagojevich;

Better watch out Ethan, you'll be voting Democrat soon. I hear it's catching.

BendisWatch: Brian Michael Bendis gives some non-spoiler tweets from the recent Marvel writers' retreat.

the superpowered nanny for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones' baby was voted on and unanimously decided by the entire Marvel editorial team and the attending creators. their first appearance will be in new avengers number seven.

a sudden and surprising shift in the avengers roster lineup was discussed and mostly settled on. when an opening is available on one of the teams it's always interesting which characters certain editors make a pitch for.

next year I will be working with one of the greatest artists in the world at a brand-new series starring a character I have barely touched. my ground level interpretation of the character was met with surprising support. it's rare that creators as diverse as Jonathan Hickman, Jepf Loeb, and Dan slott all feel good about the same idea so that was a big win.

all the rest are other creators ideas and projects that I am sworn to secrecy about and cannot discuss here or anywhere else.

but I can tell you the future looks bright for nerds of all shapes and sizes. well, except for the ones that are never happy about anything. I can't help you there

MillarWatch: Colin analyses the effect of parents on Mark Millar's comics.

"Spider-Bitch" in "Old Man Logan" is abandoned by her father Hawkeye when just three months old, and grows up to become a murderous wanna-be super-crimelord, while the inbred and monstrous children of the insane Bruce Banner murder Wolverine's own family in his absence. Clyde Wyncham in "1985", already scarred by his father's early death, is beaten by his mother into brain-damaged silence when his mutant powers emerge. And the apparently-psychotic Red Skull in "Ultimate Avengers" is taken by the government from his mother after the apparent death of his father Captain America, and brought up as little more than a laboratory rat in an isolated government institution…

Nobody's going to mistake Hit-Girl for a role model unless they see Big Daddy as a model father, and that's simply not possible for anybody other than the highly confused where the comic book at least is concerned

HomophobbicWatch: When Army comics present falacious arguments in bad comic books.

MarvelWatch: Tonight it's the final final final episode of Big Brother in the UK. And they've named it Ultimate Big Brother. I really wish Brian Bendis was involved.

ViolenceWatch: Comics Alliance questions Marvel's "too bloody to show" preview of Wolverine. It dioes strike of a seventies B-movie trailer trying to up its shock angle a little.

StoreWatch: The Deep in Huntsville celebrates its 15th anniversary a a comic shop with a little local press.
