Here's today's round up of new from around the internet:
Guggenheim on GREEN LANTERN
Newsarama.com chats up Marc Guggenheim, famed comics writer and creator of the TV show 'Eli Stone', who also happens to be one of the screenwriters on the 'Green Lantern' movie. The writer confirms that the movie seems to be on the fast track.
"It's pretty far along," Guggenheim said. "We're reasonably deep into it [Green Lantern]. I'm never really comfortable publicly commenting on the movie because unlike the TV show, I'm just one of three writers and I've sworn a blood oath to secrecy. But we're in the thick of it. We're moving along at a pretty hefty clip."
He also had little to say about the recent rumors placing actor Ryan Gosling in the lead role.
"I read that online, actually," Guggenheim said. "That was how I got that news. As one of the writers, I'm not really involved in the day-to-day pre-production on it all. But I think it would be pretty amazing. I'll go on record saying that."

I haven't been this excited for a DC film since Keaton's Batman. GL may be second only to Batman in the DC Universe so I hope they don't blow it. And I don't think they will judging by Geggenheim's words.
Millar said DC didn't want him on Superman because he works for Marvel yet they don't seem to have a problem working with Guggenheim.
I don't get as excited for Ultimate events only because the 616 Universe is still the one true Marvel Universe. But I am looking forward to Ultimatum.
I want to see how badly Pym fucked up again.
