"Vampires Suck" and "Piranha 3D" proved to be divisive topics among some comics industry tweeters this weekend. Jimmy Palmiotti sent some fighting words out to his followers on the subject, while Tim Seeley made a "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World"-related vow, and said the he intends to stick by it.
In other posts, Wizard World Chicago adventures were had, and Brian Michael Bendis started getting prepped for a Marvel creators retreat. He wouldn't say what he's going to be talking about, but he indicated that a death or or two may happen as a result of what's on the table. Check out what he said after the jump along with some James Jean artwork and Gail Simone's beef with comics on the iPad.
