NYCC: Dark Horse announces full ‘con schedule

The full schedule for Dark Horse Comics at NYCC is here and it’s bringing the likes of Halo, Mass Effect, ElfQuest, Star Wars and more with it.

If you like video games (and, lets face it, if you’re here then you probably do) this is going to be the schedule of panels for you. Dark Horse plays host to a gaggle of the biggest names in gaming and has comics starring some absolutely massive (pardon the pun… which you may not get anyway) characters and settings.

As for signings, yeah there are tons of signings planned for the show including Brian Wood, Donny Cates, Matt Wagner and more. There’s a lot to do ladies and gentlemen, so get out your digital assistants/pads and pens/smartphones and start scheduling.

Here’s your rundown:
