They may not agree on what costume to wear, but one thing all the attendees agree on one thing, CBS2's John Dias reported: It is cool to nerd out, and that is exactly what everyone is doing.

One woman told Dias she didn't trust the airline to care for her elaborate costume, so she drove to New York from Toronto.

Comic Con brings fans not only together, but also close to creators, and there are lots of collectibles to buy.

New York Comic Con wraps up this Sunday.
