I'm a 12-year-old San Diego native, and this is Comic-Con 2013 the way I saw it.
2/60
Giant balloons on the way in. What could be better?
3/60
Yes, I am at Comic-Con. This sign proves it and makes me so excited.
4/60
They have really tall escalators. Fun, but scary.

A costume for Super-Mario Bros. (which I have never actually played)

Random people where autograph signing take place

Superwoman! (#1)

I think this is a list of art for sale. I think. Still it looked cool.
9/60
Super scary guy, with super scary weapon. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
10/60
A guy with a cool costume. I'm not sure what it is, but it's cool.
11/60
Girl who I'm guessing is something/someone from Dr. Who. (LOTS of people were because of the 50th anniversary.)
12/60
Two people dressed up for Comic-Con. I loved all the costumes!
13/60
SUPERMOM! (No, really!)
14/60
A woman in pink and black. Another awesome costume.

No. 2 ...
17/60
No. 3 ...

And No. 4. At this one, we caught Superman admiring his spare uniforms.
19/60
The evolution of, er, man.
20/60
A shot from the escalator.
21/60
The panel Cartoon Voices 2: Maurice LaMarche, Candi Milo, Neil Ross, Alicyn Packard, and Bob Bergen (from left). It was hilarious. They read a boring version of "Snow White" and changed it up so it was absolutely hysterical.
22/60
Waiting in line to get Ransom Rigg's ("Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children") autograph. It was absolutely freezing!
23/60
There's Ransom. At this point I was still in line, and still freezing.
24/60
SUPERWOMAN! (No. 2)
25/60
Me and Ransom Riggs. I was ssssssssssooooo happy.
26/60
Me and Captain Crunch. I have no idea who that is.
27/60
Some advertising for a movie with Batman and Superman.
28/60
This is Boba Fett. I hate him. A lot. He captured Han Solo in "Star Wars."
29/60
Han Solo, frozen. No, there is not actually a person in there.
30/60
Darth Vader. A.K.A. EVIL!
31/60
A very cool costume.
32/60
The enormous escalator.
33/60
A strange costume. A VERY strange costume.
34/60
A creepy, and yet awesome costume. I'm torn as to which it is more.
35/60
The view from the convention center.
36/60
Brandon Mull, one of my favorite authors. This was when I was waiting to get his autograph. He was in the line talking to someone waiting for an autograph.
37/60
Yet another person whose autograph I wanted. That is Kami Garcia, author of "Beautiful Creatures."
38/60
Me! Yeah! I'm happy to be at Comic-Con.
39/60
Another pic of Kami.
40/60
Me and Kami. I was extremely happy.
41/60
Me and John Dashner, the author of "The Maze Run" trilogy. On Sunday, he was giving his new book, "The Eye of Minds," away for free.
42/60
Brandon Mull, author of the "Fablehaven" and "Beyonders" books, was also giving away something free, a six-chapter preview of his new book, "The Five Kingdoms."
43/60
After the book signings, I walked by an autograph table with the actress Claudia Wells.
44/60
She's from "Back to the Future," one of my favorite movies.
45/60
Everybody who goes to Comic-Con gets a bag to carry stuff that's also a backpack. Believe me, you need one.
46/60
Someone got in trouble.
47/60
A storm trooper and Luke. Maybe they won't try to kill each other.
48/60
It's the Incredible Hulk! And he's as green as ever!
49/60
Probably the best photo I took. It's a Power Ranger, according to my dad.
50/60
A view of inside Comic-Con. You see some of the bigger booths.
51/60
This Bearded Lady is really a female dwarf -- like in the "Lord of the Rings."
52/60
I have no idea what this is, but it looked really cool.
53/60
Another random shot of inside Comic-Con. There are still lots and lots of comic books at Comic-Con on top of the other stuff.
54/60
This comic was for sale for $220,000. It's the first time Batman appeared in a comic.
55/60
This is the first Superman comic. It's worth $75,000.
56/60
There's also tons of toys for sale.
57/60
Leaving Comic-Con was not exactly a piece of cake.
58/60
59/60
There were just too many people.
60/60
See ya next year.
