Gail Simone loves the new concept. Ron Marz digs it too. Check out who'd rather see Marvel go in a different direction, as well as what Rob Liefeld had to say to Alex Ross about Captain Victory and who Ethan Nicolle would like to see cast in "Axe Cop."

I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter Report for August 2, 2011.

Ultimate Spider-Man pt. 1: @GailSimone I would love to see an African American Spider-man.

-Gail Simone, Writer ("Birds of Prey," "Wonder Woman")

Ultimate Spider-Man pt. 2: @KodyChamberlain Instead of retrofittig characters with a new race, why not just CREATE strong black characters? Nick Fury, Spiderman, Kingpin, etc.

-Kody Chamberlain, Writer/Artist ("Sweets," "Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu")

Ultimate Spider-Man pt. 3: @ronmarz If Black/Latino Spidey, written by a Jewish man and drawn by a woman, is making racist heads explode, I'm totally cool with that.

-Ron Marz, Writer ("Green Lantern," "Witchblade")

@AXECOP Let's not forget to cast William H. Macy as uni man when the Axe Cop movie gets made: twitpic.com/1181wo #memories

-Ethan Nicolle, Writer/Artist ("Axe Cop")

@robertliefeld Can someone tell Alex Ross that Captain Victory is NOT a 50 year old man!! Not Admiral Victory....

-Rob Liefeld, Writer/Artist ("X-Force," "Youngblood")

@StephenAtHome The Republicans would have gotten 100% of everything they asked for, but they couldn't find a tutu to fit Joe Biden.

-Stephen Colbert, Creator/Host ("Tek Jansen," "The Colbert Report")

@Templesmith I just exposed myself to the camera for @jerwa's documentary. Oh, this will be good.

-Ben Templesmith, Writer/Artist ("30 Days of Night," "Welcome to Hoxford")

@rstevens You can't change people. Not without a system disk and administrator privileges.

-R. Stevens, Writer/Artist ("Diesel Sweeties," "LOLbots")
