Would you particpate in a fantasy themed flash mob? Going to NYCC? Have you seen the recent fan-made Daylight War book covers? Take a look at what you’ve been missing on Twitter.

  • @PVBrett – Cool yet scary, as usual. MT @nytimesbits Persistent listening apps: http://t.co/0alJjA4L
  • @PVBrett – In a just universe, a hot soapy bath would clean the tub, not dirty it. Same goes for the shower. #crueluniverse
  • @PVBrett – Another incredible entry in the #DaylightWar Cover Contest from Birte in Germany: http://t.co/h4XXkU28

  • @PVBrett – Quick question: If I was gonna do a fantasy-themed flashmob in NYC, would anyone be down to join in?
  • @PVBrett – Guys, just give up. MT @nytimesbits RIM BlackBerry 10 vid to the tune of REO Speedwagon’s “Keep on Loving You.” http://t.co/AR401ZZy

  • @PVBrett – Sniff! Soon there may no longer be a place for condescending dickishness in the literary world. http://t.co/ufaYfWe0

  • @PVBrett – If you put a book down without finishing it, is it legit to rate/review it?
  • @PVBrett – Another great reason to got NY ComicCon? The hundreds of free Warded Man paperbacks @DelReySpectra will be handing out!
  • @PVBrett – If the NYC weather gets any more dismal I may need to start talking with a British accent.
  • @PVBrett – Interesting article on patents, esp. after Apple just successfully sued Samsung for making rounded rectangular phones: http://t.co/1FhTCtFg
  • @PVBrett – Could there be a better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ST:TNG? http://t.co/CS3vDnJd

  • @PVBrett – Not sure how to feel about Pregnant Wonder Woman: http://t.co/IxE4zy59 Any thoughts, internet?

  • @PVBrett  Play enough Birds, and it will be you who is Angry.
  • @PVBrett – I need a clone of me who just answers e-mails. Of course, if he was a clone of me, he probably wouldn’t want to do it, either. Inbox: 117.
  • @PVBrett – Just watched a huge swarm of dragonflies swarm a field in Prospect Park. It was kind of amazing.
  • @PVBrett – Caught the tail end of the swarm on iPhone. You can only see a fraction of the buggers: http://t.co/vdO0koKw

  • @PVBrett – Sometimes in NYC you’re just walking along and someone tries to sell you a box full of Nerds the size of tennis balls.http://t.co/qZY8xcHl

  • @PVBrett – These debates are pointless so long as the moderators do not ask pointed follow-ups and redirect to cut through the endless stream of BS.
  • @PVBrett – Watched the debates streaming live on the Roku last night. My cable subscription is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

New Red Sonja Comics 2013

Posted by Meg

Incredible Red Sonja Blue art by wgpencil on DeviantART

Now that Peat has finished The Daylight War, he is back to work on Red Sonja with a new four-issue run starting in early 2013. The series will pick up where Red Sonja: Blue left off, with the red-haired heroine continuing to wear her blue fur tunic, leaving her ruined chain-mail bikini in the saddlebag.

Haven’t read Red Sonja: Blue yet? You can buy copies here, or check out the digital version on Comixology on your computer or color eReader.

Inspired to do some of your own art? Why not make your own Daylight War book cover? The contest ends at 11:59pm on October 15th. Make sure to check out the prizes and guidelines before entering.
