Comic-Con isn't so much a convention as it is a cultural festival. More than 150,000 people flock to the staggeringly large San Diego Convention Center to snap up collectibles, traipse around in costume, and play Fluxx for hours while waiting in line to see a preview of a new episode of Dexter. No longer just for comics, Comic-Con has become a mecca for nerds of all stripes. It's also one of the biggest launching pads for new TV shows, movies, and other pop culture. Comic-Con 2013 has a lot to offer, and we're collecting the best of it for you right here.
