It's been a while since we've heard talk of a "Death" movie, but Neil Gaiman paid a visit to the WETA offices this week, and you may be interested to know that he lunched with Guillermo Del Toro, who's been talked about before as part of a "Death and Me" adaptation.
Lots of other comics faces will be traveling this weekend, too, as they converge on Seattle for Emerald City ComiCon. They're all prepping in different ways, however. You can find out what James Robinson and Chris Burnham have planned, as well as what Ed Brubaker thinks of the new Barnes & Noble omnibus sale glitches.
It's all in the Twitter Report for March 11th, 2010.
@neilhimself Guillermo was in fine form. Many movies were discussed over lunch including Death and The Hobbit.

@brubaker And now it's Barnes and Noble that is glitching the prices on Omnibuses. Great... I really hope this isn't Diamond's fault.

@DanSlott Saw the "Corey Haim found dead" header still running on a news page, & for a second I got confused & thought, "Did the OTHER Corey die too?"
