Lying In The Gutters – 28th March 2011

Lying In The Gutters – 28th March 2011

This was the week with the heaviest traffic in Bleeding Cool's history. Heaven knows what San Diego will be like. Also, quick plug, I'm signing my royal wedding comics at Forbidden Planet in London on Saturday at 2pm with Gary Erskine. Do come by and say hi if you're on the right continent.

Anyway, these were the things that caused you all to go silly this week.

Top Twenty Traffic Posts Of The Week

1. Who On Earth Is Rob Granito – one of the bigger traffic stories we've ever run, despite the rest of the comics online media all but ignoring it. But individual blogs and creator mentions took this piece of comic industry activism to the top. And it wasn't alone.

2. The Complete New Captain America Trailer -Okay, this was popular too.

3. Fixing The Wonder Woman Costume – ditto

4. More Fun With Rob Granito Before Megacon – and here we are again. As teh swipes and history of the man started to really emerge.

5. Now Twilight Destroys Ashley Green's Underwear – thank you Yahoo Search for making us a top search result for this actress. And her underwear, or lack of.

6. When Ethan Van Sciver Met Rob Granito – And we're nowhere near finished.

7. Artists React To Ron Granito – most hilariously too.

8. Marvel Vs DC 2 To Be Announced At WonderCon – sadly it's an April Fool. In an average week thios would have been the top trafficked story. It was not an average week.

9. CSI: Ankh Morpok becomes real. The Guards books of the Discworld to become a police procedural weekly TV series.

10. Yes, Orlando, Rob Granito IS At Megacon – first confirmation.

11. Tronporn

12. Rob Granito Hits YouTube

13. Ryan Ottley Burns His Original Invincible Artwork.

14. Wednesday Trending Topics – The Burning Art Controversy

15. Marvel Vs 30 Rock

16. More New Avengers 100 Covers

17. Marvel And Dc Team Up Against League Of Sarcastic Lawyers – yeah my absolute favourite story of the week.

18. Preview: Wolverine #8 – ripped off the Marvel servers before anyone else got the chance to get to it.

19. Those Pesky DC  Non Disclosure Contracts

20. Song Of The South To Go Unsung

Ten You Might Have Missed But Are Still Worth Catching Up With

1. SCOOP: Mickey Mouse Feature Length Film Being Planned

2. Adam Warren's Emp Reacts To New Wonder Woman

3. A Better Look At Parallax

4. Will Greg Capullo Jump To Batman Or Wolverine?

5. Genndy Tartakovsky Taking Over The Hotel Transylvania?

6. Please DC Let Me Buy These Books For My Daughter

7. David O. Russell Keen To Do Sequel To The Fighter – But Before Or After His Hymn To The Pope Of Tits?

8. Marvel Asks Its Customers "Are You A Pirate?"

9. Dave McKean Movie Updates: Michael Sheen As Edgar Allan Poe, The Gospel Of Us And Luna

10. Hentai And Fnarr Fnarr To Join The Oxford English Dictionary

And special thanks to Adi Tantimedh, Phill Hall, Aaron and Mike, Andrew Goletz, Josh Hylton … and of course Rob Granito.

See you Saturday!
