As mentioned in our previous Chicago Comic Con gallery article, there was a lot that we felt we missed this year at the con. Well, thanks to Jerry Milani and the other fine folks at Wizard, we were provided some images that their staff photographers took. After looking through them, here are some of the best things that I personally wish we had seen. A bunch of pictures, so they’re hidden behind the jump.

While at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con this past weekend, we were on a mission to take pictures of some of the cooler costumes and displays we saw. Interestingly enough, it seemed that although the extra space made it easier to get around, having two floors to cover made it seem like we were always missing some cool costume disappearing down an aisle, never to be seen again. There was a fantastic Brienne costumer that we were unable to photograph, and we couldn’t find her again. Besides the two floors, another reason could be that with the new layout of

Wizard World Chicago Comic Con sported a new look this year, taking over a completely different area of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. As attendees of the con for over a decade, it felt odd to walk in through the main entrance and turn to the right to enter the show rather than the hall(s) to the left that used to host the con. The most notable change in 2013 was that the con was spread out over two levels of the convention center. The ground level show floor hosted the celebrity autographs, the photo op

[Spoilers for season 1 of Game of Thrones and the novel A Game of Thrones] This was one of the surprise exclusives. While we here at ASM knew about the Dark Horse Stark Shield Plaque, it wasn’t until Thursday night of Comic-Con that we found out that Funko had made an exclusive Ned Stark figure. With several of their “Game of Thrones” figures adoring one of our tables, we were debating whether or not to get this one. Then we saw the pictures. And then we saw the special feature. And then our minds melted, we shouted with joy, and we went to HBO Shop
