Friday Runaround – Hate, Prose And Suicide

TweetWatch: “Just read some HATEFUL things said about me by DC in interview. Knifed my day. Apparently, Flash and Kingdom Come were terrible. Who knew?” – Mark Waid

ProseWatch: I talked to author Joe Caramagna about the two Young Adult Spider-Man novels he’s been writing, which Bleeding Cool first talked about yesterday.

Kiel Phegley On Tucker Stone And CBR – The Comics Reporter

For us, it was our people talking to Darwyn or no news coverage for the book on CBR. Simple as that.
