"Scott Pilgrim Volume 6: Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour" went on sale last night at midnight, and the comics community in the Twitter Report feed was out in full force posting pics and reactions. Unfortunately, "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" director Edgar Wright didn't sound like he was able to be among them, but cosplayers galore were out at shops as something of a prelude to Comic-Con this week.
In other posting, "Inception" is still prompting reactions, and Jamal Igle, Kazu Kibuishi and Olivia Wilde have all weighed in now. Click on past the jump to find out which of them required yam fries to call down, as well as how a Scream Awards judge feels about Alan Moore's nomination and which writer is learning to play "Football Manager 2010."

-Corey Lewis, Writer/Artist ("Sharknife," "Seedless")
@westonfront Despite all the talent involved, I can't bring myself to watch a Sherlock Holmes series set in the modern world. It's just wrong.
-Chris Weston, Artist ("The Authority," "The Filth")
@chris_ryall I'm a nominating judge for the 2010 Spike TV Scream Awards. Somehow, Alan Moore is on the ballot for Best Comic Writer for Swamp Thing.
-Chris Ryall, CCO (IDW)
"Inception" pt. 1: @JAMALIGLE I just saw #Inception. Anyone who still thinks Chris Nolan can't do a Superman movie after seeing this film is out of their minds!
-Jamal Igle, Artist ("Firestorm," "Supergirl")
"Inception" pt. 2: @boltcity Saw Inception. Great film. Above all else, I really like how it showcases the power of basic cinematic techniques. Editing > Special FX.
-Kazu Kibuishi, Writer/Artist ("Copper," "Amulet: The Stonekeeper")
"Inception" pt. 3: @oliviawilde You know a movie was good when you've had to pound a plate of yam fries just to calm down. Thanks, Mr Nolan. Thanks a lot.
-Olivia Wilde, Actress ("Cowboys and Aliens")
Parting Wisdom for the Day:
@BrianReed I have made a terrible mistake. I've poked at Football Manager 2010 long enough that I've started to understand it.
-Brian Reed, Writer ("Ms. Marvel," "Secret Invasion: Front Line")
