Covering a con you are not attending is like doing color commentary for a baseball game you are listening to on the radio, so instead of pretending, it’s better to bring you the links to the sites with the posters on the front lines. Here is a handful of Thursday’s SDCC Links Worth Reading.

Go to Movie Line for some Daft Punk and Tron Legacy news as well as Johnny Depp…but you know why he’s there.
Daft Punk Will Tour In Support of Tron Legacy Soundtrack, And Other Comic-Con Revelations

Bonus Movie Line link: Who’s Johnny?

Deb Aoki is the Queen of Manga bloggers and she is at SDCC. If manga news is your thing, Deb Aoki will service your needs here at Manga.about.com. She guides attendees looking for manga fare and lets us homebodies know what we are missing.

Tv.ign tells us about the new Robot Chicken project: Titan Maximum.

Newsarama talks about Halo:Legends anime (?)

They also give us a report on Heath Ledger’s final film: Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

And Digital ARCHIE? It is about the comics, right?

Geeks of Doom opine on the Top 5 exclusives, though I am hoping we can do better than this.

Oh, and did you notice the SDCC Google logo?

Into collectibles? Here is a great gallery.

Kotaku.com has some exclusive SDCC PSPs (Yes…Green Lantern!)

And JoBlo never disappoints…

And this headline cannot be ignored:
