Well, folks, here we are: the end of Comic-Con 2012. The booths are being disassembled, the nerds are flocking to the exits, booth-babe pictures are being stored on hard-drives, and poster-tubes packed with sweet, sweet limited-paper goodness are being carried triumphantly from the San Diego Convention Center.

We have two quick pieces of Blu-ray/DVD news for you this afternoon. First up, Blu-ray.com reports that the Blu-ray director’s cut of Guillermo del Toro’s Mimic will hit stores on September 27th.
