From the ConThe Plan

NYCC: Comic Booth Signing Highlights

By Boukenred & Alyssa

With most of the comic companies announcing their booth signing schedules, we can take a look at how New York Comic Con is firming up for the comic book fans. There are two notable signing schedules not yet announced: Image and Marvel. Everything may change once those two schedules drop, of course, but we can still get an idea of how our con may play out.

So far we have the signing schedules for DC, IDW, Archie, AfterShock and Dark Horse.  Valiant’s schedule has been reported by FirstComicsNews.  We’ve gotten a few comic folks to go over the schedule and give their recommendations. Below are the artists/writers that interest them.

This article is not looking at Artist Alley – which is tremendous. Chances are if you miss a booth signing there will be another opportunity at the artist’s booth.
