Well-known protest signs from the Westboro Baptist Church arrived at San Diego Comic-Con this week, and both Gail Simone and Ben Templesmith reacted to their anti-SDCC messages via Twitter. If debauchery was on on their list of gripes, they probably needed to look no further than the G4 party, which Nathan Fillion was keeping an eye on.
Elsewhere, Jon Favreau was still gearing up for his Comic-Con arrival, and it sounds like he's going to be tired. Find out why after the jump alongside a spiffy Olivier Coipel Red Sonja sketch and a look at Dan Slott taking a video game break.
