Once a year, in the unknown village of New York City, people gather from all around and visit the usually sleepy, undisturbed town. They come from near, they come from far, they come by plane, and they come by car. They are your geeks, your nerds, your fanboys and fangirls and fan-non-gender-binary-conforming. Your cosplayed and huddled masses. They descend upon this quaint, urban villa for one reason only: New York Comic Con.
These are their photos.
