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.

Simon Pegg tweeted an impassioned appreciation for "V for Vendetta" today in honor of Guy Fawkes Day, proving that he has not forgotten the 5th November. Also not forgetting were Jill Thompson, Neil Kleid and a few other I couldn't fit in.
Jon Favreau, it seems, didn't have time to commemorate anything last night, as he was hard at work editing "Iron Man 2." If he was following Joe Quesada or Matt Fraction, however, he probably kept up on the game's details just fine. Scope out all of those posts below, along with a new Jim Lee page and Geoff Johns' mystery project that he wants to work with Greg Rucka on.

THE STORY: "Beasts of Burden" by Evan Dorkin (W) and Jill Thompson (A) – Dark Horse Comics
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Something's not quite right in Burden Hill. The picturesque American suburb is plagued by haunted dog houses, zombie road kill and far too many black cats. With their "people" distracted by the monotony of day-to-day life, it's up to a hodgepodge of neighborhood dogs (and one reluctant cat) to protect their community from supernatural threats.
Under the guidance of an aging society of "Wise Dogs," canines with abilities beyond those of average pets, the beasts begin to take matters into their own paws. Read more...
When you're a writer with as much clout as Brian Michael Bendis, life offers you certain occasional luxuries—like bicycle valets! Meanwhile, creators Andy Diggle and Brian Keene discussed what's in their word processors right now, and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" creator Bryan Lee O'Malley shared his new poster for the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo.
Elsewhere, a certain comics writer seems to have the Twitter Report in his sights, according to a message he sent Splash Page editor Rick Marshall last night. Click on through to find out who it was, as well as a Green Lantern sketch by Jill Thompson, a "Batman and Robin" opinion from Paul Pope and birthday wishes to a favorite writer of mine, Mr. Anthony Johnston of "Wasteland" fame.
