If you weren't able to grab a flight out to Comic-Con International in San Diego this year, Twitter makes for a fine alternative. The show opened up for its annual Preview Night Wednesday, and nearly everyone present from the Twitter Report feed had an opinion, a picture or both. Marvel's recently anointed senior VP of creator and content development C.B. Cebulski posed for a shot in Odin's throne, which is on display there along with Thor's hammer. Eric Powell, meanwhile, wandered over to the "Walking Dead" exhibition, and David Petersen was working on a Severus Snape commission.
Various lost things were found as well, such as a "Tron" press manual and $40 in the middle of the street, judging from Cameron Stewart and R. Stevens' respective tweets. Mark Waid unfortunately was busy working, but he would appreciate it if you had a chance to pick up one of the con's Starro exclusives for him. All of these adventures and more await you below.

Parting Wisdom for the Day:
@Todd_McFarlane ART LESSON:For beginning artists out there. When drawing a person/hero draw the body 1st then the head last. This'll keep head in proportion
