Quesada on 'Colbert'; Lee and Mignola on Sci Fi

Marvel editor in chief Joe Quesada will be appearing on “The Colbert Report” tonight on Comedy Central at 11:30 p.m. and repeated the next day at 1:30 am and 8 pm. It’s rare to see a pro who works so heavily and exclusively in comics sit down for this type of interview. Quesada said last week at his Cup o’ Joe panel at Comic-Con that he’s more nervous about this appearance than any other interview he’s done. Given some of the questions Colbert has asked celebs and newsmakers alike, this may be one of the most insightful mainstream comics interviews in a while.

This is part of a big night for comics fans on cable TV. Over on Sci Fi Channel, Stan Lee’s “Who Wants to be a Superhero?” makes its series premiere at 9 p.m., followed by the half-hour special/pilot for Mike Mignola’s “The Amazing Screw-On Head” at 10:30.
