DC has big plans for its return to New York Comic Con. While we’ve known for a bit that they’ll have a booth and some fun activities, today the publisher has revealed its full signing schedule — including two super secret sessions for talent working on the super secret Vertigo line of books.
In addition to the TBD Vertigo creators, which will follow the big reveal of the slate in a panel earlier in the day, other talent includes [deep breath] Jim Lee, Jorge Jiménez, Matt Fraction, Tom King, Belén Ortega, Joshua Williamson, Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, Deniz Camp, Javier Rodríguez, and more. That includes a DC K.O. signing, a Gotham City signing, and even a DC & AEW signing with Steve Orlando, Travis Mercer, Lucas Meyer, Jon Moxley, Orange Cassidy, Willow Nightingale, and Swerve Strickland.
The full list is below, but of note, there are “key signings” that require a wristband and are limited to 100 attendees. For those, per PR provided by DC, “Wristband distribution for signings will take place at 10:00 a.m. each morning at the DC Booth (#4365) while supplies last. Stay tuned to the DC social media accounts for more information.”
Check out the full list of signing times, below, as well as text from DC’s press release breaking down a Golden Age cosplay event, their con exclusives, and much more.
