GodWatch: Before your meeting with the Westboro lot (a few of us will have Superman Loves Fags shirts – I will probably try and do a post-San Diego run at some point) why not gen up on the alternatives? Ranker chooses the best comic book gods to worship.

CapWatch: Wales rejoices at Captain America filming on its rolling hills. Hmm. Will John Barrowman turn up and storm the stage insisting he take the role?

LocalWatch: The Winnipeg Free Press looks at Quebec graphic novel Philippe Girard's Ruts & Gullies.

Like fellow underground Quebec artist Line Gamache (Hello, Me Pretty, POOF!), Girard is unabashed about throwing in moments of magical realism. Whether it's Lenin and Stalin looming during his flight, his dead friend Guillaume materializing for conversations, or framed art commenting on disagreeable security guards, he treats such moments as perfectly natural parts of the narrative.

LocalWatch2: The Salt Lake Tribune looks at local comic book artists setting out to Con.

CK Edwards… writes and reviews insurance contracts by day and concocts fictional tales by night. Though he has written across genres ranging from Westerns to urban fantasy, it wasn't until he teamed up with artist AJ Bell in 2007 that he ventured into the world of comic books.

The duo recently completed their first graphic novel, Pocket Hole , the story of a Little-Miss-Everything teenager named Kristin Kakes…. Edwards and Bell will debut the novel at Comic-Con International.
