Comic-Con International 2013 is now in the rearview mirror, but if you missed even one second of the action this weekend (damn royal babies!) we've got a recap of all the WIRED videos from the mega-media event in San Diego, starting with the reveal of the 9.5-foot, 400-pound mech that WIRED brought to the convention, built by the same studio that constructed the armor for *Pacific Rim* and *Iron Man*. We've also got an interview with *Wolverine* actor Hugh Jackman, a look at the most expensive item at Comic-Con, and *Angry Nerd* Chris Baker's take on everything from *Godzilla* to Bronies. Relive it all right here, right now. __Above__ Adam Savage throws back the curtain on WIRED’s convention-storming mech.
