After a full takeover of San Diego from Thursday through Sunday, Comic-Con International 2013 is in the bag. The expo continues to grow, with an estimated 130,000 attendees crowding the San Diego Convention Center—the configuration of which is intricately orchestrated by organizers—and brands hosting countless related events at surrounding venues like hotels, parks, and parking lots. This year's lineup included three ships, an inflatable fun house, and more than 20,000 ping-pong balls.
Here's a look inside some of Comic-Con's biggest and buzziest events and exhibits.
