Things We Saw Today: It’s David Tennant’s Birthday

Today is David Tennant‘s birthday! We gave Cardboard David Tennant a hat that someone sent us, but he doesn’t seem too thrilled. I guess after 900, all the birthdays start to feel the same.

• Would you like to be DC’s new Vice President of Publicity? Well, they have an opening. (The Beat)

Designyoutrust shares a terrible secret.

• Ok, so apparently Marvel is finally making good on their promises of a Hulk show, with the animated Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. getting off the ground. And who’s it getting off the ground with? Eliza Dushku voicing She-Hulk, that’s who! That’s right: Eliza Dushku is Jennifer Walters is Shulkie, Bruce Banner’s cousin given gamma ray powers via medically necessary blood transfusion, but only after she’d graduated valedictorian of her law school class. Legal representative to the superhero world and a card carrying member of the Avengers, the Defenders, and once the Fantastic Four. (MTV Splash Page)

• Meanwhile, GeekFeminism has an open thread on nurturing a love of science in young kids.

Interesting .tumblr of the day: Today, Superman turned exactly seventy-four, and The Chronological Superman is going to be blogging his nearly seventy five year old fictional adventures in real time starting today. Comics history nerds, enjoy.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
