Iron Man 2Upcoming projects and announcements were all the rage in the Twitter Report feed this morning. Jon Favreau got together with his "Iron Man 2" leading man Robert Downey Jr. at his office, David Finch was announced as exclusive to DC (which Rob Liefeld says will make him the star of 2010). and Brian Michael Bendis and Bryan Hitch discussed a mature "Power Pack" collaboration that is highly suspect.

Not all of the info pouring was good, though. Actually, Chuck BB's tweet about Tila Tequila had me quite baffled until I realized both that she was engaged to Casey Johnson and that Johnson was the heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune. Tequila's fiancée passed away Monday, as I found out during a follow-up search. Check out those retweets after the jump along with Ryan North's discovery of "Invincible," which NFL team Christos Gage is going to see this weekend, and some sternly worded advice from Karl Kerschl.

Iron Man 2 - TwitterThe new "Iron Man 2" trailer lit up the comics Twitterverse last night, and if that shocks you, you have haven't been paying attention for the last year. Brian Michael Bendis, Phil Hester and Edgar Wright all posted their reactions, and Bendis even went a step further explaining how he might be turning his child into a supervillain.

The tweets weren't all gleeful in this morning's feed, though, as the death of Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry made its way to the trending topics as well. You can read about that after the jump, in addition to which webcomic creator will be speaking at MacWorld 2010, what James Jean's latest art creation looks like and how many times Rob Liefeld plans on seeing "Avatar" this weekend.

ThorThe 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.

Micronauts-TwitterSomeone appears to have finally told Stan Lee that Anthony Hopkins will play Odin in "Thor," and he had a thing or two to tweet about it, including what he would like to do in the film when it comes out in 2011. Also on the Marvel movie front, "Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau expressed dismay over the effect "World of Warcraft" could have on his editing process.

Elsewhere, Bryan Lee O'Malley shared a look at the new Danish-translated "Scott Pilgrim" volume he received, as well as some on-the-fly Google interpretation of Danish. You can find all those tweets after the jump along with Dan Slott on "Micronauts," Jim Lee on the passing of Halloween and a rad custom Mockingbird action figure.

V - TwitterNo matter which comics faces you may have been following on Twitter this weekend, they were most likely watching the World Series, "V" on SyFy, "Mad Men" or all of the above. Dan Slott and Frank Tieri fell into the first camp, and it seemed like most of the Marvel office was pulling for Alex Rodriguez to earn his salary when he stepped up to the plate. A-Rod's game-winning double was matched in tweets by Yankee's fans only by Johnny Damon's double-base steal.

Meanwhile, the SyFy "V" marathon had Ben Templesmith and Brian Reed's attention. Evidently comic book people like TV shows about alien invasions. Go figure. Check out what they had to say, as well as who was watching "Mad Men," and what Stan Lee had to complain about on Halloween.

Wolverine - TwitterEven Joe Quesada's temporary backing couldn't net the New York Yankees a a Game 1 win in the World Series last night. The Marvel EiC, David Gallaher and others were tweeting along with the first night of Major League Baseball's championship final round, watching the Phillies snag a relatively easy win in the end.

And speaking of win, Whilce Portacio's recently posted Wolverine sketch is full of it. Dan Slott, meanwhile, used his feed to express outrage over the changes happening with "Scrubs" going into next season. You can check out what they had to say along with with which comic book writer got mistaken for a "Batman" screenwriter at his bank and Halloween costume advice from Jeff Parker.

Wolverine - TwitterDid you leave "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" scratching your head over Stan Lee's absence? Well, he laid out a simple explanation on his Twitter account this weekend that should tell you which Marvel films he will or will not appear in going forward.

Meanwhile, Erik Larsen tweeted at length about the different demands placed on artists in comics versus animation and interjected a critique of "Sin City." Check out all of those posts, as well as Edgar Wright's affection for "X Factor," Dan Slott's father/son bonding moment over "Mad Men," and much more.

Iron Man - TwitterCurious to know what "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" looks like? Try asking Wes Anderson the next time you see him. Edgar Wright tweeted last night that the "Fantastic Mr. Fox" director got a sneak peek at the new film. In an earlier post, he also clarified "The Winstead Effect", which he defines as "the 15 minutes that gets lost when any member of the post production team look directly in Ramona's eyes."

On the other side of the Twittersphere, Jock tweeted triumphantly that Vertigo will reprint the first 12 issues of "The Losers" in a new paperback, which should give it a nice head start on the April film. You can also check out which creators were most excited about "Brutal Legend" and what it looks like when Whilce Portacio draws Iron Man and Wolverine.

Twitter - Cebulski/HiltonUsually, I don't stretch the Twitter Report back past the 24-hour mark, but last week's shot of C.B. Cebulski with Paris Hilton from the Marvel/CBLDF bowling fundraiser produced an unprecedented industry crossover. (Paris Hilton, of course, being her own industry.) It didn't quite make Twitter in time for last Friday's installment, but it's worth the wait, believe me.

Meanwhile, down in Baltimore, Erik Larsen praised this year's Baltimore Comic-Con for sticking to comics and not having any media guests in attendance. Jason Aaron, who was also in attendance, seemed to enjoy himself, and tweeted a celeb encounter after the show with former NBA star Manute Bol. Check out what they had to say below along with a custom action figure by "Hack/Slash" creator Tim Seeley and Dan Slott's "Rock Band" wishlist.

Twitter - Scott PilgrimThree of the biggest comic book movies in Hollywood right now have prompted chatter on Twitter over the last 24 hours. Top Shelf publishers Chris Staros and Brett Warnock both attended the "Surrogates" premiere last night and snapped a few shots from the red carpet.

"Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" will be at the end of the red carpet soon enough, but first, Edgar Wright will have to finish editing the film. And thanks to Twitter, Bryan Lee O'Malley can gently inquire as the project approaches its finish line.

"The Losers" will be there too, and Andy Diggle posted an update regarding Zoe Saldana's hospitality and the Jock artwork used for an on-set chair. Check out all of that and more below in the Twitter Report for September 25, 2009. Read more...
