Friday Runaround – From The Daily Show To The Northampton Herald
Being an employer this year is like being a girl at Comic Con. It doesn't matter how offensively inaccurate your pre-Crisis Of Infinite Earth Supergirl costume is, you're not going home alone. It's all about the headband John, you've got to get it just right – John Hodgman, The Daily Show, 19th September 2013.
WHAT IF GALACTUS WAS A WATCHER?
Unseen Watcher artwork by Jack Kirby. Tom Brevoort says;
Here's another piece of art Kirby withheld from Marvel – a splash page of the Watcher in his space suit. There's evidence that Kirby intended to reveal that the Watcher and Galactus were from the same race/planet/people, but Stan Lee had other plans. This pencil art was first published in Kirby Unleashed in 1971.

GHOST IN THE HOLLYWOOD MACHINE
It was originally going to be a project with Syfy. But after Sixth Gun didn't exactly happen after its pilot, it looks like Ghost Projekt, also represented by publisher Oni Press, is now with NBC.
NBC has put in development Ghost Projekt, a drama based on the Oni Press graphic novel series written by Joe Harris and illustrated by Steve Rolston. Written by John Glenn and feature writer/director André Øvredal (Troll Hunter), the show centers on an American UN weapons inspector and a Russian FSB agent who are forced to team up to chase a group of thieves before they end up spreading dangerous supernatural material stolen from an old abandoned Soviet weapons lab. Feature writer/director Øvredal will direct the pilot and serve as co-executive producer. Glenn will executive produce with Close On Mondays' Eric Gitter for Universal TV and Oni Press' sister company Closed On Mondays, which has a first-look deal at the studio.
