San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone! We’ve covered a lot of news but there’s still a lot more we’ve yet to get up on the site. While we work our way through that, here’s some comic news from around the web to start the day.

Kotaku – X-Men Comics Fans At War Over Bonus Pages Hidden Behind QR Codes – Post credit scenes brought to comics. Horrible idea.

Anime News Network – Playing the Long Game – The Story of Slam Dunk in North America – A very interesting read about sports manga.

LA Times – Comic-Con is pop culture’s beating heart. Comics creators made it so – Comics are the heart of it all.

Reuters – Striking video game actors use Comic-Con as platform for a new deal – Smart move.
