Let's get the "Word on the Web" and check out some recent topics of interest and discussion from the tech, literary, library, and arts and entertainment intersections of the World Wide Web in September 2014.

• In the FINALLY! department: Marvel & Jack Kirby's heirs settle long legal battle ahead of supreme court showdown. Kirby's Marvel-ous creations in the 1960s and 1970s including X-Men, Fantastic Four, The Hulk, and Iron Man, to name just a few, helped usher in the Silver Age of comic books and has influenced countless artists, writers, and all forms of visual media into the present day.
   
• In the ongoing fight for Net Neutrality, activists protested outside Comcast headquarters here in Philly earlier this month. Here's NPR's take on where Net Neutrality currently stands, after a record 3.7 million comments were sent to the FCC by the concerned public.
   
• Paste magazine recently ran down the 10 worst movies (and by worst, they obviously mean BEST) shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000. "Movie Sign"!

• Libraries and infographics go together perfectly and here's two recent ones that caught our eyes: ElectricLit.com runs down some fun facts and figures about American libraries and how even in this tech savvy age—when it comes to books—a majority of readers still prefer paper.
   
• Speaking of tech, WNYC's recent story on how your brain may react to reading on a screen (sometimes skimming and non-linear in nature) versus paper (slower and with more emphasis on retention) makes some interesting observations. The age of the 'Bi-literate' Brain' is upon us.
   
• Wired gets hip to the makerspace scene and discusses how library spaces are helping people interact with one another while learning new and useful skills.
   
• The PewResearch Internet Project just published some eye-opening statistics on younger americans under the age of 30 and how they engage with and the role that public libraries play in their lives and communities.
