If you ever doubted whether or not "Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers" was in continuity with the rest of the Marvel Universe, Chris Eliopoulos set the record straight today. I didn't know that this was a major issue of contention for the book's readers, but apparently enough of them asked.
Brian Michael Bendis also engaged his readership while experimenting with some text-to-audio software with David Mack last night. You can find out more about that below. Click onward past the jump and you'll also find out who's mourning the reported disappearance of James Brown's body, what Microsoft Word does with the word "Halfing" and which conventions Ben Templesmith plans on attending this year.
It's all in the Twitter Report for March 12th, 2010.
