Got five figures to throw around on a piece of real comics history? Then you can go put in your bid at the Heritage Auction Galleries auction of the original pencil and inks of the first page of Watchmen, scripted by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons. The bidding currently stands at $6,500, but don't expect it to stay there for long. In the words of Heritage Auctions themselves:

Watchmen pages do not come along often, in fact Heritage has never offered one before! We know of many people who have read Watchmen who have never read any other comic book, and given that mass appeal, we expect very strong demand for this lot.

Dangit, Tangeled! We were all ready to snub you after some knucklehead decided that you wouldn't become the next beautiful 2D animated movie to come out of Disney, and instead would be handed over to Disney's CGI studio. No matter how beautiful your concept art was. In fact, we wanted to snub you because of how beautiful your concept art was. We want to see that stuff drawn into motion! But now there are these videos of actual footage, and it's really pretty, and pretty funny, and clearly has some great character animation, and... ಠ_ಠ Stop messing with our heads. (via Bleeding Cool, more videos here.)

No one was really allowed to film in the preview rooms of New York Comic Con, but we know that doesn't actually stop people. And for hand-cam footage, this actually ain't that bad. Although I could nitpick about some of the dialogue and Batman appearing in broad daylight, overall, the show looks worth checking out. The animation is slick, and, as a Bruce Timm/Paul Dini-verse fan, not a style that I'm used to seeing my heroes in. But seriously where are the girls. Not even one? No Wonder Girl? No Supergirl? Hell, I'd even take Mary Marvel. It's not just the male superheroes in the Justice League who think it's a good idea to train preteens to beat up criminals. You are letting down the trope.

This Sunday's Non Sequitur cartoon features a pretty simple joke: what if you replaced Waldo with some one else? Please note (by clicking the image above for the full version) that an image of the prophet of Islam does not appear. Anywhere in the panel. (Actually, I was kind of angry when I read it in the paper, because I felt it was nerd sniping me. Of course, now I have to check and see if you actually put him in there, and see just how far your punchline goes. Make me work, why don't you.) Anyway, despite actually not having an image of the prophet Muhammed, some papers apparently declined to run it yesterday.
