Comic-Con has come and gone. We braved the lines to bring you the highs (and the lows) from the five-day event, and we've got the battle scars to prove it. We fought our way through screaming "Twilight" girls. We got manhandled by costumed freaks on the packed exhibition floor. We were floored by an awesome "Watchmen" trailer. And we even smacked our own heads when we found out that Jennifer Love Hewitt was just too cool to show up to her own show's panel.

So, without further ado, here are our picks for the best and worst of the Con 2008.
