Bryan Singer's revelation that "X-Men: First Class" will draw from James Bond grabbed some attention, and that got Chris Weston thinking about the current state of Bond films. Doug Tennapel, meanwhile, took a trip to see "The Expendables" and posted about that experience.
Elsewhere, Jim Lee shared a picture from a restaurant where some Joker artwork was gifted to him from an artist named Kristian Rowland. You'll find a link to that down below along with Ted Rall's account of being suspected of being a suicide bomber and what it's like to deliver a package to Warren Ellis' home.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is your Twitter Report for August 24, 2010.
@westonfront X-Men: First Class to be aesthetically inspired by the 60s Bond films. I wish the Bond films still were.
-Chris Weston, Artist ("The Authority," "The Filth")
@TenNapel I watched The Expendables with 6 pals. It was like going to church. You'll like it more than whatever wins Best Picture this year.
-Doug Tennapel, Writer/Artist ("Ghostopolis," "Black Cherry")
@TedRall Our beards got us detained on suspicion of being suicide bombers this morning. Also have been confused for Talibs. Might be time for a trim.

@jimlee00 Wow! Look what my Uncle Rick drew! He goes by the pen name Kristian. Nice work! http://twitpic.com/2hmseb

@warrenellis I just opened the front door while naked and apparently I've still got it because the UPS man clearly licked his lips. Morning.
-Warren Ellis, Writer ("Planetary," "Transmetropolitan")
@gabrielhardman You can't go wrong with "Based on the novel SPACE VAMPIRES". That is until you get to "Directed by Tobe Hooper"
-Gabriel Hardman, Artist ("Agents of Atlas," "The Black Cat")
@kierongillen How can "ninja" not be in my phone's dictionary? Who designs this? If I'm attacked by a ninja, I haven't time to enter it letter by letter.

@sispurrier Anyone who sits too close in Starbucks and begins their Shouty Chat "I've learned so much about myself recently" deserves maggoty bumvasion.
