The new "Iron Man 2" trailer lit up the comics Twitterverse last night, and if that shocks you, you have haven't been paying attention for the last year. Brian Michael Bendis, Phil Hester and Edgar Wright all posted their reactions, and Bendis even went a step further explaining how he might be turning his child into a supervillain.
The tweets weren't all gleeful in this morning's feed, though, as the death of Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry made its way to the trending topics as well. You can read about that after the jump, in addition to which webcomic creator will be speaking at MacWorld 2010, what James Jean's latest art creation looks like and how many times Rob Liefeld plans on seeing "Avatar" this weekend.
It's all retweeted in the Twitter Report for December, 17, 2009.
