Talent from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blong Reunion, Mystery Science Theatre 3000, Elfquest, Hellboy, God of War, Bioware, and more will be on hand at its booth, #2615 — along with Joëlle Jones, Stan Sakai, Jody Houser, and more.

Some events, including the signing with Mystery Science Theater 3000‘s Todd Nauck, Felicia Day and Michael Heisler on Thursday; Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Reunion with Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day on Friday; The Venture Bros.‘ Doc Hammer, Jackson Publick, and Ken Plume on Saturday; Xerxes‘ Frank Miller and Alex Sinclair on Saturday; and Final Fantasy‘s Yoshitaka Amano on both Thursday and Sunday will be ticketed and require a wristband.

All signings are free! There will also be free prints, comics, or posters provided for most signings. You may purchase or bring items to be signed, but Dark Horse may restrict the type or number of items to be signed as necessary.

Just like usual, there will be two signing stages – one featuring the artwork of Mike Mignola for Hellboy (abbreviated HB in the schedule below), and the other featuring a showcase of art from Stranger Things by Aleksi Bricolt, Kyle Lambert, and Rafael Albuquerque (abbreviated as ST below).

10:00-11:00 AM:  Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Reunion (Room: Hall H)

In 2008, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog became a beloved web-series. The show tells the story of Dr. Horrible (played by Neil Patrick Harris), an aspiring supervillain; Moist (Simon Helberg), Dr. Horrible’s minion; Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), his nemesis; and Penny (Felicia Day), their shared love interest. Celebrate the 10th anniversary of this popular show by joining creator Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day, and Maurissa Tancharoen for a lively discussion and celebration!

11:00 AM-12:00 PM:  Thirty Years of Dark Horse Manga (Room: 23ABC)

3:00-4:00 PM:  Artists Who Write: The Craft and Creation of Comics (Room: 7AB)

Whether it’s a superhero adventure, a colorful fantasy world, an ultra-violent crime noir, or a new take on an old classic, creators put a lot of thought into the sequential art that drives stories told in comics. Join an all-star lineup of Dark Horse creators including Frank Miller (Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander, Sin City), Dave Gibbons (The Originals, The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century), Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer), Wendy Pini (ElfQuest), and Rafael Albuquerque (EI8HT) as they discuss turning an idea into a full-fledged story and how they continue to keep their writing fresh.

6:00-7:00 PM:  ElfQuest – 40 Years of Pointed Ears (Room 23ABC)

2018 wraps up 40 years of ElfQuest with the biggest bang ever.
