Comic-Con, Piegate and Lost nightmares in this week’s tweets
In an exhausting week for Twitter-dominating news stories (phone hacking/piegate, the tragic events in Norway, Amy Winehouse’s death...) you’d been forgiven for not even noticing that the biggest show on the geek calendar has just wrapped up Stateside – San Diego Comic Con.
Arguably this was the year that Twitter came of age at SDCC, with every news nugget from the show floor tweeted to death (and the next story broken) before most websites could even load up their CMS. For a handy summary of the biggest happenings be sure to check back through our own Twitter feed (@ SFXmagazine (opens in new tab) ) and of course for more thoughtful, 140+-character-reporting our own website (opens in new tab) has you covered.
In no particular order then, here are some of favourite tweets from in and around the show floor.

@ edgarwright Braving the SDCC floor. Sadly I don't fit into my old Doctor Who costume anymore. Partly because I was eight years old when I had it.
