"Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" screened for quite a few comics industry professionals last night, judging from the flood of tweets that ensued. Matt Fraction may not have been among them, but Pia Guerra and Steve Rolston scored tickets and posted their verdicts thereafter.
Ed Brubaker vented some frustrations about the Google and Verizon's vision for the Internet, and Mark Millar didn't seem too excited about Chloe Moretz' new film, but his jab wasn't aimed at the quality of the movie so much as it was encouraging her to come back for "Kick-Ass 2." Find out what he said to her below, as well as who's gearing up for Ramadan and what Mike Norton will do to your artwork if you share a studio with him.
