NASA's controlled "bombing" of the moon had comics creators talking on Twitter today. It turns out a lot of them are interested in that kind of stuff, with Paul Pope, Matt Fraction and many others weighing in on the planned moon crash earlier today.
And while we're on the subject of projects that took a great deal of planning, check out the TwitPic Jim Lee posted of artwork he and the WildStorm team put together for departing DC Comics head Paul Levitz. There's a lot of love in that picture. But before you see that, click on down to read a few reaction to U.S. President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize that was announced this morning, as well as Stan Lee's lunch game plan and pictures from Marvel's bowling fundraiser last night.
It's all in the Twitter Report for October 9, 2009.
