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.

Faith Erin Hicks Nerd potluck tonight! Nerd potlucks are the best. Nobody knows how to cook, so we just eat a lot of mashed potatos & pass out drunk. (And by “drunk” I mean, “insanely full of mashed potatoes.”)

Brian Michael Bendis Off to la for a 1 day in and out. I’ll tell u why after it happens.
Erik Larsen In 1969 Neal Adams came over to Marvel and pencilled and colored the X-Men, which was on the verge of cancellation. Neal’s coloring was state of the art at that time–well-chosen but flat colors using a limited palette in percentages of 25, 50 and 100%. Years later, when painted color was all the rage, Neal’s X-Men were collected and re-colored using the improved technology. They looked awful. Later still, with more technological advances, Neal’s X-Men were re-colored and collected again with Photoshop effects. Again–looking awful. Eventually Marvel collected Neal’s X-Men in their Marvel Masterwork line and its original color was restored. It looks fantastic.
