Ron Marz: If there's a better pairing than horrible, selfish nutbag Ayn Rand and Bluewater, I've yet to hear it: http://on.cbr.cc/i4mY0n
Bluewater Productions: I can think of a couple things…
Ron Marz: Really? Like what? And don't say "unauthorized Justin Bieber comic," that's too easy.]
Bluewater Productions: How about the sale numbers on Witchblade. Does that book even come out anymore? Bieber is at least driving new readers to stores
Ron Marz: You are absolutely right, @BluewaterProd, sales is always, ALWAYS the best indication of quality material.
Bluewater Productions: if you are going to report on the facts – the C &D was from the people that do his lunchboxes not him. We spoke to Bieber's people
Ron Marz: Wait, I shortchanged you, @BluewaterProd: sales, cease-and-desist orders, and rampant charges of non-payment from creators.

Etc. Etc. What larks.

ReviewWatch: That Justin Bieber comic.

"It's all very fertile," says Spiegelman. "It's a culture that now includes museum shows . . . literary awards. . . . You've got magazines from Time to The New Yorker discussing comics without flinching. It's not necessary to have that article that says: 'Comics — They're not for kids anymore.' . . .Now, that's a given."

SwipeWatch: Okay it may not be worth it's own swipe file, but I did like this.

This is The Bleeding Cool ComicChron Robot 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.
