It was just another day in the comics Twitterverse last night before the Lakers beat the Celtic to win the NBA Finals. Jon Favreau was shooting "Cowboys and Aliens." Jimmy Palmiotti was contemplating "Jonah Hex," and Alejandro Arbona was contemplating Marvel-related uses for a vuvuzela.
After the Lakers won, however, the calamity ensuing in Los Angeles became the topic of the night. After jump, you can check out who was happy, who was confused, and who was calling the Twitter Report a failure.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is your Twitter Report for June 18, 2010.

-Jon Favreau, Director ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2")
@jpalmiotti so yeah, saw Jonah hex, thought it was better than expected and had a good time. Josh was wonderful.
-Jimmy Palmiotti, Writer ("Jonah Hex," "Painkiller Jane")
@Alejandrobot Somewhere in New York I must be able to buy vuvuzelas, right? I think we need them for next week's Avengers planning retreat.
-Alejandro Arbona, Editor ("Thor," "The Immortal Iron Fist")
Lakers pt. 1: @tonymoore yay! my sports team beat the other sports team by throwing the game balls! i'm going to go destroy someone's property & trash my community!
-Tony Moore, Artist ("Fear Agent," "The Walking Dead")
Lakers pt. 2: @GerryDuggan Dear LA rioters, I heard Jay Leno said horrible things about your Hooperball Champions & the man has a shit ton of flammable cars.
-Gerry Duggan, Writer ("The Infinite Horizon")
Lakers pt. 3: @malki The banner on the news reads "LAKERS WIN / Unlawful Assembly Declared". And, a car is on fire.

@mikechoi I apologise for the lateness of X-Force #28, which has been pushed back 1 week. Sonia's computer died, and so did my grandmother.
-Mike Choi, Artist ("X-Force," "X23: Target X")
@Grumpy_Doctor_Doom @mtvsplashpage BAH! If your Twitter Report does not include the genius that is Doom it is as much a failure as that buffoon Reed Richards!
-Grumpy Doctor Doom
Parting Wisdom for the Day:
@RyanStegman @Alejandrobot There's a free vuvuzela app on the iPhone. Almost as good as the real thing.
-Ryan Stegman, Artist ("Incredible Hercules," "Riftwar")
