2. Matt Boyd investigated for terroristic communication after making a webcomic.

3. Not comics: Spider-Man 3 opens, marking the beginning of the end of the larger Marvel company's initial phase of post-'90s rebirth that was largely driven by licensing films to high-end Hollywood partners. Phase 2, and taking on the production of the movies themselves, begins in earnest with 2008's Iron Man.
