The Mike Wieringo tweets kept coming yesterday, and Gabriel Hardman even posted a tribute sketch to commemorate the late artist. Francis Manapul, meanwhile, recalled what it was like running into Wieringo at conventions.
"Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" reactions haven't subsided either, and now that more and more industry professionals are getting out to see it, some of them are wondering if they're experiencing a different film than non-comics readers. Find out what Tim Seeley and Reilly Brown though after the jump, where you'll also get Jamal Igle and Gail Simone's takes on Dr. Laura Schlessinger's use of the N-word.
