Dark Horse has announced its complete signing schedule for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
Talent from Dark Horse books The Strain, The Star Wars, The Goon, Serenity, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Dragon Age, Avatar, and more will be on hand at its booth, #2615. Some events, including The Strain‘s signing with Guillermo del Toro and Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra with Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, Gene Luen Yang, Gurihiru, and Jessie Flower, will be ticketed and require a wristband.
Although the schedule is jam-packed, make sure to take note of special signings with the cast and creative team of Sin City: A Dame To Kill For (Frank Miller, Jessica Alba, Josh Brolin, Rosario Dawson, Robert Rodriguez), The Strain with del Toro, and a special all-things-Joss-Whedon signing for Serenity, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Faith with Georges Jeanty, Christos Gage, and Nicholas Brendon. There’s also an open spot at 2PM on Sunday still to be announced – but it will require a wristband, so expect it to be big.
This year there will be two signing stages – one featuring the artwork of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy, and another featuring artwork from del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s The Strain.
Drawings for wristband-required signings will begin at show opening the day before and day of each signing, and it is recommended you get your ticket early from the Dark Horse booth.
Below is the press release with the complete signing schedule:
DARK HORSE COMICS | SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2014 | BOOTH #2615
SIGNING SCHEDULE
All creators signing in our booth offer their autographs for FREE. FREE prints, comics, or posters are provided for most of our signings (while supplies last). You may purchase or bring items to be signed; however, we may restrict the type or number of items to be signed as necessary.
Some signings require a wristband for entry, as noted on the schedule. Drawings for wristbands for these events will begin at show opening the day before and day of each signing. Come to the Dark Horse booth early for the best chance to join these events.
Lines may also be closed for some signings due to crowding or time restrictions.
We have two signing stages: one featuring the art of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy; the other, the art of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s The Strain. The location of each signing is indicated by the following abbreviations:
HB = Hellboy Signing Stage ST = The Strain Signing Stage
