San Diego Comic-Con can be one of the greatest and worst experiences you can have. There’s insanely long lines, terrible food, and overcrowding, but if you can brave through it, you’ll be rewarded with some amazing footage of upcoming movies and TV, breaking comics, movie, and TV news, and exclusive convention collectibles and swag, as well as being surrounded by over 100,000 fellow geeks as you all converge upon the welcoming streets of San Diego. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you embrace the experience, chances are, you can have the time of your life.

There was a lot of fun things happening this year in and around the convention center, including fantastic panels for the X-Men and Marvel movies, as well as a secret Metallica concert.

Here’s our 10 Favorite Moments From Comic-Con 2013.

Based on the 1982 comic book series Wolverine by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, James Mangold‘s The Wolverine picks up years after X-Men: The Last Stand with Logan (Hugh Jackman) traveling to the Land of the Rising Sun.

Stripped of his immortality and vulnerable for the first time, Logan is pushed to his physical and emotional limits as he battles the yakuza, ninjas, samurai, and his own inner demons.

Mangold’s film begins with a bearded, long-haired Logan living in the Alaskan wilderness. He’s tracked by Yukio (Rila Fukushima) and summoned to Japan, where her dying employer, Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), wishes to say good-bye to an old friend.

Remember when that first X-Men: First Class picture came out, and everyone was stunned by how atrocious it was? Fortunately the movie was much, much better than that picture.

Thankfully for us, early marketing for the sequel, X-Men: Days of Future Past, is going much better. The movie already has people excited due to its megafusion of the casts of First Class, Bryan Singer‘s (who returns to the franchise to direct again) first two X-Men movies, and new actors like Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage.

Two new posters for the movie have been released, and they’re pretty incredible. The posters feature Professor X and Magneto, both young and old, and all four actors who portray them, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy, in one brilliant design. Check out the posters below!

For the weeks leading up to the start of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Twentieth Century Fox had a listing on the Hall H schedule, but nothing about which properties they would be promoting. A day or so prior to Saturday’s panel, word was that they would be bringing Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Wolverine to the masses, but there was still rumors of a huge surprise to come.

And that surprise did indeed come when Fox brought out the full cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past, which included actors from both the first X-Men trilogy and First Class prequel. That means, two Professor Xs, two Magnetos, and one Wolverine to rule them all! (Ok, maybe not rule them, but he’s gotta go back in time to give a message to Professor X and Magneto’s younger selves from their older selves.)

Watch the full X-Men: Days Of Future Past panel (minus any film footage) here below. Also here below is our photos from the panel.
