DigiWatch: After the burst of publicity, Monkeybrain and comiXology have decided to release their initial line of comics a little earlier than planned… as in, right now.

ThanosWatch: Marvel has hired Joe Keatinge and Richard Elson to write a new Thanos five issue story starting in November, Thanos: Son of Titan, looking at the character's early years.

BatWatch: After the Court Of Owls, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo bring back The Joker, in Death Of A Family. For a face off. Tuesday Runaround – Monkeybrain NOW!
