Dark Horse is going to the Big Apple this weekend with quite the entourage of creators and entertainment as they attend the 2012 New York Comic Con. Going from this Thursday through Sunday you can find Dark Horse at booth # 1528, where they will have some awesome freebies, amazing signings, and great comics on sale. But with so much going on at the Javits Center this weekend, we thought we’d give you Dark Horse’s rundown of signings and events made easy. So check out the details below before heading off to NYCC this weekend!

DARK HORSE SIGNINGS SCHEDULE

Remember, all Dark Horse signings will happen at their booth, #1528. These signings gather quite the crowd, so show up early and ask one of the booth staff if a line has already formed for you to queue up in. Also, some signings require tickets (as denoted below) that you must get from the booth in advance. Make sure to ask a booth staffer for tickets and check back in the case of a raffle to see if you made it into the signing. The staff members will give you a wrist band if you made it in to guarantee your place in line for some of the big name celebrities Dark Horse has lined up this year.
