Whether or not tweeters were moved by celebrity pledges to sign off of Twitter to raise money for World AIDS Day, the campaign has become a topic of conversation throughout the comics Twittersphere. Brian Michael Bendis reacted earlier this week, and Brian Lynch decided to try and help fill the void being left by Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga today.
Elsewhere in the comics and movie production pipelines, Josh Howard crossed his fingers about "Dead@17" negotiations, while Mark Millar offered an update on "Kick-Ass 2." You can find out more about that, as well as who's been named the "Bea Arthur of comics" after the jump.

@fredvanlente Will Marvel let me get away with a vajazzler joke in a mainstream comic? There's only one way to find out, World.
