Although downtown San Diego was gorgeous outside yesterday afternoon, inside the convention center, waiting the final hour before the Exhibit Hall opened for Comic-Con 2013 Preview Night was not unlike (fill in an extremely steamy, uncomfortable, claustrophobia-inducing situation of your choice, and make it a nasty one).

I know, wah wah poor me, I had to be at Comic-Con. You’re right of course. Once the hall opened, it was a fan free-for-all with mobs of people purchasing comics, toys, tees, and so much more, along with plenty of general gawking and of course, the inevitable lines, lines, everywhere. But there were some very cool displays, and it was nearly impossible to not get that Comic-Con sparkle in our eyes.

There’s much more to come from Comic-Con 2013 so check back here for updates throughout the week and weekend!
