It’s no doubt that young adult fiction (YA) is one of the most popular genres this side of Panem, crossing over to adult readers as well. Nowhere is that more apparent than at San Diego Comic-Con where the publishers booths are packed to the gill with great content and fanatical readers.

One of the best booths for YA fiction is #2800, the home to First Second and Fierce Reads. Their roster is full of best-selling writers, many who will be signing at the booth. All book signings are free, but some may require a ticket, which will be distributed at 9am the morning of the signing at booth #2800.  For many of the signings, books will be available for purchase, but a purchase is not required.

Let’s take a look at what First Second and Fierce Reads have in store for us at Comic-Con:
