SanDiegoWatch: We're still updating the Updateable San Diego Programming List until the official list is released. Just added Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan's appearances. Do you have any panels you'd like to see added?

GrantWatch: Here's a transcript of that Mindless Ones interview with Grant Morrison.

"I thought super-fashion would look more like Zenith: Fashion clothes but with a little mask on. But that hasn't happened. It's just really hard to say where all this is going. The Internet offers up the idea that everyone is a superhero, every life story is a saga, everyone has a style, every love story is a magnificent adventure."

MarvelWatch: Deadpool MAX II by David Lapham and Kyle Baker will launch in October, following on directly after the end of Deadpool MAX.

WoodWatch: Coming soon from Brian Wood;

I just got word that my next big creator-owned project has been approved. This is a multi-year book, a stylistic follow-up to DMZ, socio-political in nature but not a book about America. I think they plan to announce it by NYCC but I might try and get some teaser info out sooner.

I'm working hard to get a digital-first project up and running. Creator-owned.

I've been writing a short licensed series these past months. I will have a much, much longer licensed book to announce in the fall.

I'll have some big superhero stuff coming out hopefully sooner than later, but with work-for-hire, I am at their mercy in terms of when things are announced and published.

DigitalWatch: DC have created a DC Comics Reader App for the Windows Phone.

MarvelMovieWatch: Thor 2 comes in 2013 with Chris Hemsworth but without Kenneth Branagh, while The Wolverine starts shooting in October.

MillerWatch: The LA Times looks at Frank Miller's Holy Terror;

"Gradually the story became more linear and less emotional. It's not me screaming for 109 pages. There's a balance there. There had to be. What surprised me is that were touches of humor in the course of the story. I never would have predicted that early on. It began utterly humorless."
