New York Comic Con is less than a week away, and fans of comics publisher Dark Horse will be pleased to know that the company has finally announced its complete signing schedule for the convention, and that it’s full of exciting talent and properties.
Headed to New York will be talent from Dark Horse books Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., Elfquest, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, Grindhouse, Star Wars, Fight Club 2, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gail Simone’s Leaving Megalopolis, and more. You can find them at Dark Horse’s booth #1636, where just like at San Diego earlier this year, the company will be operating two stages (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., designated as HB, and Fire and Stone, designed as FS) to be able to fit in their huge roster.
The signing for Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra with Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko will require a wristband in order to attend. Wristbands will be distributed by a random drawing in the Dark Horse booth on Thursday and Friday mornings, when doors open.
From the press release, here’s the complete signing schedule:
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.
Lines may also be closed for other signings due to crowding or time restrictions.
We have two signing stages, denoted by the art on each stage. The location of each signing is indicated by the following abbreviations:
HB = Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. Signing Stage
FS = Fire and Stone (Prometheus, Predator, Aliens, Alien vs. Predator comic crossover series) Signing Stage
All events are subject to change. Some restrictions apply. Please see Dark Horse Comics staff if you have questions.
