VWatch: Images of V For Vendetta created by David Lloyd during a session at ComICA are available on eBay, to raise money for Cartoon Classroom – collating comic book studies in the UK and Eire.

TargetWatch: The Fox TV show Human Target based on the DC comic is shifting its 9pm Wednesday slot to 8pm , swapping with American Idol. Which takes it away from going up against Criminal Minds, Law and Order: SVU and Modern Family/Cougar Town. Which should make for an easier ride.

GilliamWatch: As The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus is due to open in the USA on Christmas Day (fo see it folks!), Gilliam talks about that state of his other projects and how he'd have done Watchmen.

We were actually going to cut the Comedian out of ours, but I think the thing where it was probably too loyal. It's like, in a book, in a comic, you can set the pace. I mean, maybe I'm remembering this wrong but I think the Comedians funeral is just three panels long.. It's just about pacing so in the comic book: bump-bump-bump, Comedian's buried. On film, it's this long shot as the coffin goes…in…to…the…grrrrr…ave. That's pacing and that's what bothered me is he wasn't getting those things right. But it was a huge undertaking and probably a better attempt than anybody else would've pulled off, frankly.

LIGHTS wants to do a crossover with her comic Captain LIGHTS and Star Trek's Borg… sorry lass, if wishes were crossovers very day Bendis would write a new Batman/Daredevil….

IndiaWatch: India seems the country to go to if you are a comic book creator these days. Tony Lee and Woodrow Phoenix went last month, Andy Diggle is off in February and now French graphic novelist David B is doing the same.

SnowWatch: You know somehow I don't think the Daleks would have been quite so terrifying to children in the sixties if they'd looked like this…
