DriverWatch: Shia LaBeouf, continuing his attempt to enshrine his reputation as a comic book creator, is offering his expired drivers license as a Kickstarter reward to the people fundraising for the Coast City Comics in Portland, Maine.

FriendWatch: Robert Kirkman talks about working for the man. When the man is Tom Brevoort.

Tom Brevoort and Axel Alonso are awesome dudes to work for. I did enjoy my time there. But I knew Tom wasn't my friend. We'd talk on the phone for hours at a time, but I knew we weren't actually friends, he had to keep me at a professional distance because at some point in the future, I wouldn't be popular, and he wouldn't be able to hire me anymore. Because that's how it worked. That's a horrible position for Tom to be in, but it's not his fault. No matter how much he may like a creator, he can't make a corporation spend money on them if they're not getting money back in return. That's not a safe system and it's not something anyone should allow themselves to get trapped in.

This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.

They say I am a work in progress. The fools.

J.M. DeMatteis's CREATION POINT: MAN WITHOUT FEAR

Well, it turned out that Carlo was also working with Chris and his partners—helping them to develop Marvel Comics' blind superhero, Daredevil, into a feature film.  The movie had been through a number of drafts and the creative team was looking for a new take.  Short story even shorter:  Carlo wanted me involved and, since I was already working for 1492, Chris and Company were happy to bring me on board.
