Just like all our favourite publishers, Dark Horse Comics is heading to New York City’s Javits Center this weekend for New York Comic Con. The publisher has announced its plans to bring fans closer to the action with signings and freebies including comics, posters, and more!
Below, please find our signing and panel/activities schedule for New York Comic Con from Thursday to Sunday. We’ll also have a variety of Dark Horse exclusives, comics, graphic novels, art books, and collectibles available for purchase in our booth store.
DARK HORSE NYCC 2026 SIGNING SCHEDULE
All creators signing in our booth offer their autographs for FREE. At Dark Horse booth signings, FREE signing cards or poster prints are provided (while supplies last). Select books, comics, products, and convention exclusives can be purchased at our booth, or you can bring your own items to be signed; however, we may limit the type or number of items to be signed as necessary. See details for each signing below.
Lines may be closed for some signings due to crowding or time restrictions.
All events are subject to change, and some restrictions apply. Please see Dark Horse Comics staff at the booth if you have questions.
WRISTBAND INFO: Some signings require a wristband for entry, as noted on the schedule. Staff will begin to hand out wristbands when the exhibit hall opens to the public the day before and the day of each signing and will end when all allotted wristbands have been given out. These wristbands are first come, first serve.
Note: Dark Horse does not begin distributing wristbands until attendees enter the hall; exhibitors cannot get in line or draw for wristbands earlier than fan attendees.
Lines may also be closed for some signings due to crowding or time restrictions.
All events are subject to change, and some restrictions apply. Please see Dark Horse Comics staff at the booth if you have questions.
