Dark Horse’s Fan Expo Canada schedule unveiled

If you’re going to the Con on the great tundra this weekend, you’re going to want to stop by the Dark Horse Comics booth for some of the coolest stuff north of the border.

The publisher actually has a pretty awesome lineup of giveaways planned with “lanyards, window clings, buttons, and posters” all on hand. Okay, so I’m officially jealous. Dark Horse will also have their usual assortment of books on hand that you can pick up right from them instead of scouring the aisles and a very special variant cover for the first issue of the new Halo: Initiation series will be the show exclusive item. There’s a 10 copies per person on that one, so get yours while they last.

Here’s your full rundown of who’s who and what’s what:
