GoshWatch: A few of the things Gosh Comics in London is up to in the next few months… Eddie Campbell next Friday, Kramers Ergot the week after and a couple of book launches…

TweetWatch: "A lot of people have been asking about upcoming DC projects. All I can say is that my next project will be announced this Monday or Tuesday" – Jeff Lemire.

Could it be The Robins?

MillarWatch: From Mark Millar's Kapow section of the Glasgow Film Festival;

There are films such as Electric Man, described as impressive and with a 'micro budget' the film follows its stars on their journey to save their failing comic store. They unwittingly hold their saviour before them, a mint edition of a 1937 Electric Man comic. Another interesting option is Death of a Superhero, which follows fourteen year old cancer patient Donald as he recedes further into his own head, creating harrowing comics and surrounding himself with his own story.

GalleryWatch: Funny Valentines- A Tribute To Jack Davis is an exhibition opening on February 11th through till March 7th at the Fantagraophics Bookstore & Gallery in Seattle, featuring work by Peter Bagge, Nikki Burch, Art Chantry, Jack Davis, Tom Dougherty, Jesse Edwards, Ellen Forney, Art Garcia, Roberta Gregory, Charles Krafft, Jason T.

PilgrimWatch: The third series of BBC Radio 4's Hellblazer inspired drama, Pilgrim, started yesterday. You can hear it here.

PressWatch: Hell Yeah gets USA Todayed.

"Superheroes would probably end up more like bands. What would a cool superhero band name be? The All-New All-Differents was the first one I thought of, and Hell Yeah for Justice was the second one. I was like, 'There you go! That's totally going in the book.' "

And The All-New All-Differents are in the book, too — they're an all-girl punk band. Music turned out to be a big influence on Hell Yeah, as well. Keatinge first moved to Portland 10 years ago and he became a fixture in the scene, working on album covers and hanging out with local musicians.

SponsorWatch: Marvel have declined to be one of the C2E2 Diamond Retailer Summit sponsors, with the main publishers attending being Dark Horse, DC, IDW, Diamond Select Toys, and C2E2.

Bronze sponsors are Valiant, Viz Media, Hermes Press and Crafted Packaging.

SpeechWatch: A speech by NR Gaiman on CS Lewis, JRR Tokien and GK Chesterton.

I came to the conclusion that Lord of the Rings was, most probably, the best book that ever could be written, which put me in something of a quandary. I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. (That's not true: I wanted to be a writer then.) And I wanted to write The Lord of the Rings. The problem was that it had already been written.

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.

Iron Man 3, Captain America 2 & Dr. Strange Movie Updates | Superhero Hype

"Yeah, they're planning (to go into production for) Captain America 2 for the end of this year, because Marvel does one film at a time. So they're going to do Thor 2 and as soon as Thor has wrapped, they'll do Cap 2. Hopefully right after that, we'll jump into Nick Fury because that's the one I'm looking forward to more than anything."
