Things We Saw Today: Lil’ Gotham Gets A Comic

I’ve long been a fan of Dustin Nguyen’s Lil’ Gotham characters. Well, after five years of trying to convince DC an out-of-continuity title like this could sell, it’s being released as a digital first comic tomorrow!! Nguyen will be drawing as well as co-writing with Derek Fridolfs.

• Speaking of DC, they’ve declared October “Villains Month” and recently posted a poll. A poll DC Women Kicking Ass believes is sorely lacking some of their best female villains.
• This woman’s three-year-old son wanted to be a princess for Halloween. Awesome person that she is, she had no problem with that. She did have a problem with there not being any princess costumes available for African-American children. Read about it at The Frisky.

Black Milk has revealed some of their new Star Wars items. Here’s their Ewok dress. There’s also a Boba Fett one. See them all here.

• Google has added a new feature to Gmail that will allow you to view other messages while composing an email. This is what my life has been missing. (via Mashable)
• BuzzFeed unveiled @ComfortablySmug, a Twitter user who was the source of a lot of really bad false information (mixed in with retweets of legitimate info) about Hurricane Sandy yesterday. They write that he’s “Shashank Tripathi, a hedge fund analyst and the campaign manager of Christopher R. Wight, this year’s Republican candidate for the U.S. House from New York’s 12th Congressional District.” No word as to why he was posting false information, BuzzFeed tried to reach him for comment to no avail.

Nicely done, Mario Flores, but it’s a little too weird. Even for me. (via Nerd Approved)

And our parting shot today comes from former LucasFilm employee (and social media darling) Bonnie Burton via Twitter:

In response to them not yet mentioning today’s extraordinary news about Disney acquiring LucasFilm.
