Batwatch: From Superpunch, right.

GalleryWatch: Alex Ross gets an exhibition at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.

"To many, people comic books have a stigma of being amateur fantasy art thumbed through by pimply adolescents in their parents' basements," Kowalski says. "'Comic books do not equal art.' It is true that a lot of comic book art is not terrific, especially now that artists have left pencils for computers, figuratively and literally distancing themselves from the paper surface."

But when Kowalski showed high-resolution images of Ross's work to Warhol director Eric Shiner and staff, opinions changed.

"I posited that much of Ross's art is an extension of classic American illustration, from early 20th-century Saturday Evening Post covers to the Americana of Norman Rockwell to the pop art of Andy Warhol," Kowalski says.

MangaWatch: NBM Publishing is putting out their first Japanese manga, a translation of Stargazing Dog by Takashi Murakami, recently adapted into a movie.

Oto-san is down and out. Life has conspired against him, nothing coming together the way he wished, so he sets out with his car to just get away from it all.

All people around him have abandoned him in indifference but as we discover along with him, the one he can count on utterly and completely is a dog he just adopted who follows him blindly, faithfully and completely, to the end, lightening up his new adventure into the unknown.

TweetWatch: JeffLemire tweets on a Swamp Thing/Animal Man crossover with Scott Snyder;

"It's happening you guys. It's called DEADWORLD and it's epic. Swampy and Aman and Abby and Maxine vs the world!"

It's a joke, folks… sorry.

TweetWatch2: One Barnes & Noble employee tweet;

"Just got an email from a B&N higher up saying not to pull anything from DC and we'll be given further instruction later."

Could this be a possible attempt to put the frog back in the box?

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.
