Likes and dislikes have been doled out over the last day in the comics Twitterverse. Paul Southworth took issue with some voice acting in "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions," while Joe Hill gave a thumbs up to the new, official Twitter iPad app and Francis Manapul offered a belated micro-review of "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World."
In group discussions, Jeff Parker kicked off a round of insights into working from home versus sharing a studio as a freelancer, and he received some mixed responses from across the industry. Find out where Kurt Busiek, Mike Mayhew and Steve Lieber stand after the jump, along with Ben Templesmith's thoughts on mixing alcohol with sketching.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter Report for September 9, 2010.
@Southworth Wow. The voice acting for Spider-Man 2099 in the new game is butt awful.
-Paul Southworth, Writer/Artist ("Ugly Hill")
@FrancisManapul Finally saw #scottpilgrim at theatre. it was awesome!! it was way above my expectation (I had none other than not for me) Its a fun must see
-Francis Manapul, Artist ("Adventure Comics," "Witchblade")

-Joe Hill, Writer ("Locke & Key")

-Jeff Parker, Writer ("Agents of Atlas," "Underground")
Offices pt. 2: @jeffparker in an attic or moldy basement, somewhere by the washer and dryer. Getting office space is great if you can make it happen, I promise.
Offices pt. 3: @KurtBusiek @jeffparker My office is the size of a three car garage, with windows that look out over the Columbia. Gets hot on sunny afternoons, though.
-Kurt Busiek, Writer ("Astro City," "Avengers")
Offices pt. 4: @mike_mayhew When you're in office space, surrounded by other businesses, you have to ask yourself, "what am I doing here to make as much money as them."
-Mike Mayhew, Artist ("New Avengers Annual," "Vampirella")
Offices pt. 5: @steve_lieber In prison they use solitary to punish inmates. Why choose that for yourself?We founded @PeriscopeStudio to get back into general population.
-Steve Lieber, Artist ("Whiteout," "Detective Comics")
@BRIANMBENDIS Marvel approved my teaser idea for the big nycc announcement! This will be fun
-Brian Michael Bendis, Writer ("New Avengers," Ultimate Spider-Man")
Deep Thought for the Day:
@Templesmith @davaja Drinking & me sketching never ends that well. I usually move on to male nudes on napkins far too quickly.
-Ben Templesmith, Writer/Artist ("30 Days of Night," "Welcome to Hoxford")
