Geoff Johns' big night finally comes around this evening with the epic two-hour premiere of his "Smallville" story "Absolute Justice." He's got a special screening lined up, and you can check out who he's taking with him today in his tweet feed.
There was some truly momentous tweeting going on in the world of webcomics this morning as Rene Engström's cartoony relationship comic "Anders Loves Maria" came to an end, and it's worth checking out from the beginning. Much like LeVar Burton, you don't have to take my word for it, though. Bryan Lee O'Malley's a fan as well. You can find his contemplation of the comic's end, as well as Stan Lee's fears about his "Thor" cameo and Jason Aaron's plans for his Wolverine writing this year.

The Academy Awards nominations for 2010 hit close to home for the comics world this morning -- and not just because sci-fi and animated films like "Avatar," "District 9" and "Up" made it into the Best Picture category. Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" adaptation earned a Best Animated Feature Film nod, and Kevin Smith's former sound collaborator ended up with a Best Sound Editing acknowledgment.
Even if they don't have a horse in the race for the Oscars, most creators still had opinions to share, though. You can find retweeted reactions to "District 9," "Up" and "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" actress Anna Kendrick's nomination for "Up in the Air" after the jump. And even if the Oscars don't interest you, you can check out what Dave Gibbons thought of "Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut" and discover which big-name writer took a taxi to McDonald's yesterday.

Late-night Twitterers may have caught a note from "Spider-Man" carjacker Michael Papajohn last night revealing that he's been cast in a "Jonah Hex" role for the reshoots currently going on. Jon Favreau offered a brief update on his "Iron Man 2" editing as well.
In paper comics tweets, Chris Eliopoulos has been slaving over "Pet Avengers" pages and seems to have reached a few benchmarks. Jeff Lemire, meanwhile, moved into a new house and has a fresh workspace for "Sweet Tooth." You can read those retweets below along with a note on the second anniversary of Heath Ledger's death, Stan Lee's advice for the "Big Bang Theory" cast and Bryan Lee O'Malley's recollection of a Harry Potter dream.

While much of the comics Twitterverse was tweeting about their own work this weekend — such as "Scalped" writer Jason Aaron and "Punisher" writer Rick Remender — plenty of others entertained breaks for some rest and relaxation. Bryan Lee O'Malley got a look at "Bayonetta," and "Final Fantasy VII" players may appreciate what he had to say.
One of Brian Michael Bendis' kids, meanwhile, seems to have been enjoying some Lady Gaga music, which has prompted him to rethink his approach to fatherhood. Check out all of those retweeted posts after the jump along with Danielle Corsetto's micro-review of "Youth in Revolt," B. Clay Moore's post-mortem look at the Green Bay Packers' season and some scripting advice from Bryan Hitch.

Matt Fraction and Brian Michael Bendis have been spending some time together, and last night's topic of conversation was "Siege" #1. Judging from the comments, Bendis may or may not have trapped Fraction in his home, and being sealed in Bendis' house may or may not be a good thing.
Elsewhere, Ron Marz had some fighting words for illegal comics downloaders -- and particularly for those who are superhero readers. Check out his take on comics pirating after the jump along with some original Nova artwork from Philip Tan, Bryan Lee O'Malley's clarification on his "Inception" tweet yesterday and Robert Kirkman's beard.

A few movie-related cheers and jeers got tossed around the Twitter Report's feed over the last 24 hours. Joe Hill seems to have been catching up on his "Green Hornet" news, and both Michel Gondry and Anvil have his approval. Bryan Lee O'Malley, meanwhile, sounded a little skeptical of Ellen Page's role in the new Christopher Nolan film "Inception."
In sports/comics crossover conversation, Brian Michael Bendis noticed the trending Vikings topic last night that was spurred by the Chicago Bears victory over Minnesota. He hoped that "Viking" writer Ivan Brandon would notice as well. Check out all of those retweets after the jump along with a birthday wish I endorse going out to Jeff Katz and a memorial shout out to Star Trek actress Majel Barrett, which I also support.

You knew it had to happen sooner or later. "New Moon" actress Anna Kendrick's appearance in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" has not gone unnoticed by the "Twilight" crowd, and Bryan Lee O'Malley is preparing himself for what lies ahead.
On the other end of the comics Twitterverse, Jeff Lemire revealed that the project he mentioned for Marvel a few days ago will be a Man-Thing story. Check out those posts after the jump, along with "Avatar" speculation, the Kurt Russell character Andy Diggle wants to write, and Greg Rucka's frustrations with "World of Warcraft."

Even if you missed "The Big Bang Theory" last night, you can still catch Geoff Johns' post about the Star Sapphire appearance that occurred. The CBS show is known for its geek-friendly T-shirts, and the Sapphires' symbol from "Green Lantern" certainly sounds like a sensible fit.
Elsewhere, there was a hilarious exchange this morning between the "Blue Beetle" creative team which should serve as a lesson to writers everywhere about treating your penciler with the utmost respect and consideration when planning your scripts. Don't worry, though, it was all in good fun — as was Stan Lee's desire to appear in a Batman film and Bryan Lee O'Malley's claim to inspiring DC's new "Earth One" OGN format.

Both Andy Diggle and Jock have leaked some behind-the-scenes looks at the "Losers" set over the last 24 hours. The comic's logo appears to have been quite pervasive, showing up on sanitation reminders and stunt team shirts during filming in Puerto Rico.
Elsewhere, though a "Goats" movie has not been announced, creator Jon Rosenberg announced his ideal picks to star if an adaptation ever occurs. His fellow webcomicker R. Stevens, meanwhile, quickly claimed a cameo. Check out those tweets after the jump along with Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" hopes and a surefire way to get Kevin Smith to block you.

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.
