Skydiving Stereotypes

If you’ve ever been to a comic convention you might’ve accidently mistaken it to be Halloween day. The diversity of people walking in and out of those convention doors is limitless. Most people at a glance just see a bunch of random nerds in costumes. If you ever attended any comic conventions you’ll be able to pick out certain types of people like cliques in a high school. Some are harder to figure out and some standout like Chewbacca at a star trek convention.
