Wednesday Runaround – Frank Cho Is Watching eBay
AVXWatch: Frank Cho parties like an Avengers Vs X-Men party.
"To celebrate this special occasion, I drew Captain America and Cyclops facing off each other on the sketch cover. We raffled it off at the end of the night, and a very excited and happy young man won it. (dude, I better not see that on eBay.)"
No sign yet, Frank.
PenisWatch: Mike Carey gets the Chicago Redeye.
"You get this in its purest form in an ultra-short story from the Arabian Nights. A poor but virtuous man is granted a vision of God in his heaven, and is told that because of the holy power of this vision, the next three prayers he utters will be granted. So what does the guy do? He wishes for a bigger penis. "The most perfect delight for a man is from his member. I will pray to God to magnify my member and therefore to increase the pleasure it will bring me.""
UltimateWatch: Bendis talks about the making of Miles Morales
"I truly think (Glover) would have been a great Peter Parker and said so publicly," Bendis says. "We had started our work on Miles. Then, as a cute little cutaway joke, they showed Donald on 'Community' dressed in Spider-Man pajamas and, I have to say, I thought he looks fantastic. That's when I knew Miles was going to work. It just kind of looked right."
PrintToDigitalWatch: Kotaku says goodbye to their comic shop.
"It's strange. I went to a funeral on Saturday. Afterward, without a hint of irony, I went to Midtown Comics. It was my first visit in two months, the longest period of time during my adult life that I've ever spent away from a comics shop (I know it was two months, because there were two new issues of a monthly comics catalog for me to buy and anxiously dog-ear). I was happy to be back, to smell the paper and squeeze around the people reading comics in the shop as if it was a library."
DigitalToDigitalWatch: Joe Quesada talks anout what Marvel's Infinite Comics can provide.
"The biggest benefit of reading and making comics digitally, Quesada said, is the ability to surpass the printed page as a medium to show fine levels of detail. This is particularly dramatic on the new iPad. "Some artists draw lines that are so thin that they don't even print," Quesada said. But with the ability to zoom in on retina-enabled comics, along with the brightness and color of the display, readers will be able to see all the intricacy in the artists' work. And the storytelling tools that Infinite Comics add another layer that isn't possible in print."
