It use to be that comic books and superheroes made people a nerd. Movies taught us to make fun of nerds, but thanks to Marvel movies, Star Wars, and Harry Potter, almost everybody is a nerd now and it is more acceptable than ever. If anything, you are in the minority and missing out if you aren't invested in one of the above in some form or fashion. Because of all the nerdiness that has become so popular, comic cons are thriving in today's world. While the most famous one in the country is Comic Con in San Diego each year, for those of us unable to make it there, you are in luck as there will be a comic con in Idaho next month.
