Comic Books, Twitter, and You
- Posted by Matthew Meylikhov on Monday, October 12, 2009

Do you have a Twitter? Do you LOVE comic books? Well, we do too! Seriously! We just created a Multiversity Comics twitter! AND YOU CAN FOLLOW IT! Just check us out at @multiversitycom! You can follow us there for all our updates, special news, and probably pictures of cats! Probably.
But why stop there? I have got here a comprehensive list of all comic book companies, writers, and artists who have a Twitter to follow. Just click behind the jump for a huge list that will blow your mind, but at the same time will allow you the contact you so desperately crave with the geniuses who tell us our favorite superhero tales weekly. And if you think that communication between you and creators never ACTUALLY take place, you'd be wrong! David has talked to several comic book gurus through Twitter, Fred Van Lente tweeted about us, and Geoff Johns sent me a direct message once! It's all fun and games! So enjoy the list!
Oh, and follow us on Twitter! You know you want to, you geeks.
Note: This list will be constantly updated. If you know of someone not on this list, please either e-mail me at matthew@multiversitycomics.com or leave a comment on this post, and I will add them on to the list as soon as I can. This is, I believe, the single most comprehensive list on the web at this point, and I wouldn't want to leave anyone out, so please please please let me know if I have.
Another thing to note is that I have updated them with what they are noteworthy for at the time I am writing this (October 11th, 2009). If you are reading this in the distant future and have no idea what some of the things are, just remember that my feeble past mind was only capable of so much. And if you'd REALLY like me to update some of the content as to who these people are, I will. Again, just send an e-mail or leave a comment with any and all corrections you may have.

Added you up, Joshua! Thanks for the comment, and David LOOOOOOVES Unknown Soldier! I'm a BPRD man myself.
To be fair, I also love BPRD: 1946/1947 as well.
you can add guest manager, Barcelona International Comicon, in my case, if you feel like it. ;)

LOL you guys forgot them
Fun facts about comic pros on Twitter:
Bendis is good for Howard Stern quotes and entertainment news links.
James Robinson will not be confined to 140 characters.
Greg Rucka often asks very strange and amusing reference questions ("Does anyone know how to hypnotize a goat speaking only in Swahili?" - not a quote, but I wouldn't be surprised if he asked it.)
Eric Trautmann and Brandon Jerwa say horrible, outrageously funny things to (and about) one another. Why DC hasn't put them on a comedy book together, I will never know.
Dennis Calero loves 80s music.
Kevin Smith often answers fan questions.
Geoff Johns loves cereal.
Matt Fraction is a cool guy, but he's no Darkseid Jenkins. Wha?

Stephen Wacker was/is the editor of 52/Spider-Man, not the artist.
Awesome list, by the way... Even if it does mean I got a lot of following to do...
Corrected, thank you.
Manga doesn't count as comics? VIZ, Tokyopop, CMX, Digital Manga, Vertical? (Or is this an American comics only list?) How about indie publishers Drawn and Quarterly, Last Gasp and Fantagraphics? How about Scott McCloud and his work with comics? What about Radical Comics? I think it's going to take a bit before your list is "all inclusive".
Thanks for the note! You're absolutely right, and we're looking to add whatever we can to this list and to continuously update it in the futre. I'm a big fan of Drawn and Quarterly and McCloud, and I know a lot of others out there that are fans of those other creators/publishers.
This list will likely never be finalized, but with the support of other readers/fans out there, we can get as many creators on here as we can even think of.
@Matt and David...
Thanks for the love guys!!
In regards to the Manga/Anonymous comment person -
It's not that we don't like manga. We have nothing against it. Only problem is, neither David nor I nor Gil read any manga. The closest we all get is Scott Pilgrim, really. When I first started the site, I asked my friend who reads strictly manga to be "the manga guy", but unfortunately even though he did say yes, he never actually did anything for the site. So while I'd love to have manga covered here, I just don't have anyone to do it.
I'd be more than happy to add all the people you requested on the list to the list, though, and I hope you read this note in response to you.

There's more webcomic artists I follow, but I dunno the relevancy of them to your list ;)
Lanika - Web Comics are definitely an important section of the comic world. They're very relevant, we just didn't have them collected. We also had Emi Lenox up there who does a web comic called Emi Town.
Lea - It's an honor to have such an esteemed creator post on on our site. We'll get you added!
Joshua - Thanks so much! Keep up the good work.
Joe - I don't see any reason why we can't get Forbidden Planet added. Aren't you guys affiliated with Dark Horse?
