Brett Ratner returns to the Twitter Report today. I like to think of myself as your comics-oriented Tweet jockey (TJ, if you will), and since he's been posting adamantly about his comics interests this week, I wanted to put a follow-up to his tweet yesterday at the top of today's report.
Apparently, Ratner owns one of the holy grails for comics collectors and as well as a lot of "Youngblood," which he'll be adapting to film.
Meanwhile, Cameron Stewart tweeted his excitement about reforming the "Seaguy" team by joining Grant Morrison on "Batman and Robin", Bryan Lee O'Malley mourned the ending to John Allison's long-running webcomic "Scary Go Round," and Gail Simone contemplated a move into video game development.
Check it all out in the Twitter Report for September 11, 2009.
@BrettRatner @michaelwryan i am actually the proud owner of Action Comics No.1. as well as a lot of justice league and recently Liefeld"s youngblood.
-Brett Ratner, Director ("X-Men: The Last Stand")
@ErikJLarsen Youngblood's vehicle should be called the "Blood Vessel." Also--cheese and bacon should be less caloric. Who's with me?
-Erik Larsen, Writer/Artist ("Savage Dragon," "The Amazing Spider-Man")
@GailSimone I am so creating ROCK BAND: DAZZLER. It could come with skate attachments for the Wii controller! And a huge gay following!
-Gail Simone, Writer ("Birds of Prey," "Wonder Woman")
@Shortpacked I am both giddy to see Catman make a cameo in the Public Enemies DVD and angry because NO HE'S NAKED IN AFRICA THEN WITH LIONS YOU FOOLS
-David Willis, Writer/Artist ("Shortpacked")

@jeffparker @cameronmstewart Suuurrre you are, Cam. Everyone, Stewart is "drawing Batman and Robin," okay? (wink)
-Jeff Parker, Writer ("Agents of Atlas," "Underground")
@DanSlott I know this is blasphemy-- but I like Green Lantern more when he's the only one too-- instead of one of the 3-or-4 guys from the 2814.
-Dan Slott, Writer ("Avengers: The Initiative," "The Amazing Spider-Man")
Parting Wisdom for the Day:
@warrenellis A comment from an iPhone user, unedited: "Try the iphone! Will change yor live" In many ways, it would seem.
