• 09:43:05: AMC's doing a TV series of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead? Somehow I don't think it's going to have the same sex appeal as True Blood.
  
• 11:25:15: @starpilotsix The Walking Dead is ideally set up for a TV series, it has to be said. Glad they went that route over a movie. Worth a look.

• 13:02:33: Oh, RTD. You don't do yourself any favours when you say that the "controversy" over Torchwood was "bascially nine hysterical women."

Wait... did Chris Claremont just fix House of M?

Well, okay, not completely, but recent revelations in Chris Claremont's X-men Forever title start some curious thought processes.

For those not ink the know, X-men Forever is a new semi-out-of-continuity title that picks up from when Chris Claremont left X-men back in 1991. It follows on directly from his original run, providing a new continuity, a blend of what he had planned for the book before he was forced out, new ideas picking up on old plots and entirely new plot devices that he couldn't get away with in a shared universe.

For example, one of the major developments so far is an event that would never be allowed to take place permanently in the Marvel universe proper, the death of Wolverine.
