Today(ish) in Twitter is a regular column wherein our staff troll through the best of the 140 letter updates of the comic book world. ComicBookDaily is not responsible for the content of these tweets, but we will admit to laughing our collective bums off at some of them.
Tony Moore so Captain America is gonna feature the Invaders (awesome) in WW2 but Joel Silver can’t wrap his head around a period Sgt Rock? GOD DAMN IT
CB Cebulski (Marvel’s Talent Scout) Looked at this kid’s work. While not half bad, big problems in presentation: it’s a major colllection of pin-ups with few sequential pages. For the 1000th time, ALWAYS include a 3 to 4 page sequential sequence in your portfolio. Minimally! We’re most concerned with storytelling. Also, be it pin-ups or sequenitals, even if you ink yourself, I always want to see the pencils. You will not always be your own best inker.
Geoff Johns Wow. All due respect to everyone else, but Ultimate X just redefined what the Ultimate Universe can be. Bravo, Jeph and Art.
