Apparently Odin's chamber for 'Thor' wasn't the only Marvel movie peek Brian Michael Bendis got this week. He also says he saw "Iron Man 2." That must mean Jon Favreau's overtime editing hours are paying off. The film's director has been so busy during barbershop business hours lately that he's been forced to Flowbee his own haircuts.
In other Twitterverse news, Stan Lee completed a pitch for a new mystery program on Cartoon Network. Check out what he tweeted after the jump along with Kevin Smith's wish for "New Moon" watchers, Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim book update and Bill Willingham's daunting workload for the month. It's all in the Twitter Report for November 20, 2009.

The last 24 hours have been exciting for comics-related movie watchers on Twitter. Not only did some behind-the-scenes posts pop up from "Thor" and "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," two of the biggest upcoming releases in the genre, but Rob Liefeld dropped an eye-opening bomb about his defunct "Badrock" film — which he says almost happened in 1996 with "Twilight Saga: New Moon" director Chris Weitz.
Aside from those tweets, there's also a pretty spectacular Terry Moore Spider-Man sketch waiting after the jump. Check that out, along with Tony Moore's answer to fanboy hate, Simon Pegg's thoughts on Scotty in "Star Trek" and a prediction for the English language from Jeffrey Rowland.

The writer of "Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta" might not be on Twitter, but Twitter knows that it's his birthday today. Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman and loads of other comickers tweeted well-wishing out to Alan Moore (even though he doesn't have his own account... that we know of).
Back in New York, Marvel's Spider-Man summit appears to have subsided, and Victor Gischler inquired about a hypothetical Deadpool summit, which Fred Van Lente in turn discussed with him. After the jump, you can read my little Twitter mixtape about what they had to say, along with Mark Waid's reaction to the latest "Doctor Who" special and Jimmy Palmiotti's thoughts on Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland."

The Warriors Three may be joining Anthony Hopkins as Odin in Kenneth Branagh's "Thor," but at least one writer would rather have seen Sean Connery play the Allfather.
Elsewhere, big names in comics turned out for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" last night, including Kevin Smith, who compared his daughter's relationship with the franchise to his own experience with "Star Wars." Far more comics faces were gathered in New York, though, for the Spider-Man summit Fred Van Lente tweeted about yesterday. Dan Slott posted a pic from the group's Marvel-funded dinner. Check that out after the jump along with Gail Simone's first tweet from her Xbox 360, Steve Niles' reaction to last night's meteor shower and Matthew Sturges' Imogen Heap dilemma.

Actor Edward Woodward's death at the age of 79 prompted a string of tweets from the comics crowd this morning, many of whom are unsurprisingly fans of his TV series "The Equalizer." Simon Pegg, meanwhile, holds a special place in his heart for the 1974 movie spin-off of Woodward's series "Callan."
Elsewhere, Jon Favreau hit the editing room hard for "Iron Man 2," and had good things to post about the digital animated shots he's integrating into the film. Read what he had to say after the jump along with Fred Van Lente's hopes for the Marvel Spider-Man summit and Andy Diggle's continued observations from "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2."

Stan Lee may be done with his "Iron Man 2" cameo, but "Thor" still awaits. He tweeted about his high expectations last night, including what it will take to get him to Asgard.
Meanwhile at the Marvel offices in New York, editor Axel Alonso posted a behind-the-scenes look at what you can expect to see in a bathroom there. After the jump, there's also Dennis Calero's design obervation about James Cameron's "Avatar," Edgar Wright's early memories of "Labyrinth" and Tony Harris on wrapping up "Ex Machina."

Now that Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" has been cancelled on FOX, expect to see a lot more more tweets over the next few days from the comics Twitterverse. Paul Cornell was among those mourning the show's loss today and had some advice for Whedon.
Matt Fraction, meanwhile, offered some advice to CNN after learning that Lou Dobbs would be leaving his show on the network, and Mitch Breitweiser spoke up about artists being asked to work for free. Find out what they had to say after the jump along with Tony Lee's comics-related findings in India, what Skottie Young was up to at the hospital while waiting for his new baby to be born and Stan Lee's shout-out to Splash Page!

Even though Veteran's Day doesn't give your kid a day off from school (Neil Gaiman checked), the Twitter Report joins all of the creators in our feed today acknowledging the risks taken and sacrifices made by service men and women alike.
Not all of the V's in today's posts belonged to Veteran's Day, though. Now in its second week, "V" watchers are starting to decide how much they like (or dislike) ABC's remake of the '80s TV series. Brian Reed and Paul Southworth were among those sticking with it.
Meanwhile, Jill Thompson was soliciting Twitter advice last night for an "X-Men" bet, Jamal Igle made his pick for best superhero movie of all time, and Todd McFarlane offered more advice to aspiring creators.

The Twitter Report joins most of the comics community today in wishing "Sandman" and "Coraline" creator Neil Gaiman a happy birthday today. That wish might not be able to compete with the illustrated sushi card he received today, but he's a favorite around here, and we hope the day is good to him.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" has been a trending Twitter topic for weeks now, but after last night's official launch, more tweeters are transitioning over into actually playing the game instead of just talking about it—and Brian Michael Bendis is among them. Phil Hester, meanwhile, prefers pinball.
Check out what they had to say after the jump along with some great art by Todd Nauck. It's all in the Twitter Report for November 10, 2009. Read more...
The "Man Men" season finale Sunday night had more than a few Twitter accounts waiting to see what the third season's cliffhanger would be. Matt Fraction, Jon Favreau and Mike Costa all had reasons to be pleased by the time it was all over. Don't worry though; their tweets are spoiler free.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" launches this week, and quite a few comics folks seem to have gotten their hands on advance copies. At least one got in to the launch party last night as well. Find out who that was after the jump along with a pair of "Doctor Who" posts, a Bryan Lee O'Malley prediction for "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" and a new Elvis discovery by Chris Staros.
